The road, considered an important connection point for trade and commerce, got its nickname decades ago as trucks from Albania and countries of the former communist bloc travelled to and from Vlora's port.
Put koji se smatra značajnom vezom za trgovinu i razmenu dobio je svoj nadimak pre nekoliko desetina godina, kada su kamioni iz Albanije i drugih zemalja bivšeg komunističkog bloka putovali ka i iz luke Valone.
