U.S. Route 98 Truck is the truck detour for US 98 around the Central Business District of Mobile, Alabama, allowing large trucks to bypass the narrow and low clearance Bankhead Tunnel. It also serves as a route for vehicles carrying hazardous cargo that are prohibited from using the larger George Wallace Tunnel on Interstate 10. The route exists in concurrency with US 90, as well as a portion of I-165.
The route begins on North Broad Street at the north end of the wrong way concurrency between US 90 and 98. Overlapping US 90 and AL 13/Alt. 16, North Broad Street carries all four routes northwest until passing the intersection of Congress Street, then makes a sharp curve to the northeast passing S D Bishop State Junior College and Bishop State Community College. North of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Avenue (formerly Glidden Place), the routes make an east-northeasterly turn onto Beauregard Street. At the intersection with North Water Street, all routes make a left turn at the southern terminus of I-165. The routes leave I-165 at Exit 2 (New Bay Bridge Road), though westbound signs indicate another leg of US Truck Route 98 continuing north of the interchange.
New Bay Bridge Road passes through historic Africatown, where it has an interchange with the southern terminus of US 43, which is also where AL 13 leaves, then drops the "new" from the street name, encroaching on more industrial surroundings as it encounters interchanges with Paper Mill Road and Clint Street before crossing the Cochrane–Africatown USA Bridge onto Blakely Island where the routes curve straight south onto the Old Spanish Trail. U.S. Truck Route 98 ends at the eastern portal of the Bankhead Tunnel just north of Exit 27 on I-10, where US 90 and 98 continue onto another concurrency, this time in the same direction over Battleship Parkway.

U.S. Route 98 Truck is the truck detour for US 98 around Brooksville, Florida. Although a significant portion of the truck route exists within the city limits, it still avoids historic downtown Brooksville by moving to the south and the west. The route exists in concurrency with two existing State Roads and one County Road, and never independently.
Beginning at Jasmine Avenue, and East Jefferson Road (State Road 50A), Truck US 98 runs in concurrency with State Road 50 in a southwesterly direction. As it approaches County Road 581 it turns from southwest to direct west. Crossing the railroad tracks near County Road 445, the road passes by a large church before curving slightly to the northwest. This segment also contains the secret designation of State Road 700, until it reaches the intersection of U.S. Route 41. Here, State Road 700 leaves the truck route, and heads north along US 41 (SR 45) until branching off to Ponce De Leon Boulevard to rejoin US 98. Meanwhile, SR 50/Truck US 98 passes a branch of the Brooksville Post Office, and makes a northbound curve at Horse Lake Drive, then at the Hernando County Sheriff's Office before meeting West Jefferson Road. This entire section of SR 50/US Truck 98 was widened from two lanes to four lanes in the early-21st Century.
While SR 50 takes its sharp left turn toward Weeki Wachee, and SR 50A begins eastbound into downtown Brooksville, Truck Route US 98 continues north along County Road 485, also known as Cobb Road. From that intersection it narrows down to two lanes, as it approaches a four-way stop intersection and accompanying red blinker-lights with County Road 484 (West Ford Dade Avenue).
Two old sections of Cobb Road used to exist. One is to the right north of County Road 484 (West Fort Dade Avenue), and the other is a mining road that runs from the intersection with Yontz Road to an isolated section of County Road 476 (Lake Lindsey Road) in Stafford.
Crossing the railroad tracks a second time after the intersection with Yontz Road (Former County Road 485B), the road winds through a rural field between a mining area and a hilly region before finally reuniting with US 98 south of the Willow Prairie Lake area. Truck Weigh Stations exist just west of the northern terminus of Truck US 98 on the right of way of a former railroad crossing.

It also includes a pair of wye intersections with both legs of the southern terminus of State Road 79. The road doesn't begin to move away from the beach until east of Dement Circle, when it turns northeast, and then intersects with South Thomas Drive, and then the western terminus of County Road 392 and eastern terminus of CR 392A. US ALT 98 finally ends at US 98 at an interchange just west of the north end of CR 392.

Truck U.S. Route 98-301 was a truck bypass of the concurrency of U.S. Routes 98 & 301 in Dade City, Florida. The road was also unsigned State Road 533, which still exists.
Truck US 98-301 ran to the east of the original US 98-301, which previously ran through the heart of Dade City along 7th Street. After the intersection with Alternate County Road 35 it ran parallel to a CSX railroad line, and passes by the old Dade City Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Depot.
In February 2007, this section was converted into the main branch of the US 98-301 concurrency. It maintains the unsigned SR 533 designation, while SR 35 and SR 700 remain on the 7th Street (Old US 98/301), barring a relinquished portion in downtown Dade City.
