Driving CDL in West Virginia
West Virginia freight relies on I-77 / I-79 / I-64 through genuinely mountainous terrain. Coal and natural gas extraction drive significant energy-sector trucking — coal hauls in the southern counties, gas-field service in the north. Ohio River barge terminals (Huntington, Wheeling) handle bulk commodity transfers. Cost of living is among the lowest in the country. West Virginia has a moderate graduated state income tax. Mountain grades, fog in the central valleys, and ice on I-77 through the Bluefield-Beckley stretch are real operational variables. The lane network is sparse — route knowledge matters.
