Mountains -- if you stick to the Interstates, most of the time you'll never really know you're in the mountains. The grades are easy and the highways built to a specific set of requirements that includes good guardrails. Driving the truck "over the cliff" isn't too likely. "Getting stranded"....well, use good judgment. If the weather stinks, get off the road, find a good motel and settle in for the night. The Hwy departments usually close a freeway if the weather is unsafe for driving.
