Hey guys, finally get to check off 3 more 'never been there before' states. Oregon, Idaho and Washington. Rand McDummy has me goin north on I-17 to flag, then follow US 89 up to I-15 in Utah. Take that up to I-84. Follow that alllll the way up to I-82 and then to Seattle.
I'm not too sure if that's a good idea or not. I haven't looked at the radar yet (gotta know what the weather is like, so I'm not caught off guard, that and I don't have chains)
I was thinking more like 17 to 40 west to Kingman, pick up us 93 to Vegas. I'm not sure goin through Nevada like that is any better or worse. What say you?
Thanks in advance
Looking kinda icky around salt lake, otherwise, not horrible.
Phoenix to Seattle

I would run I-10 to Quartzite then head north up through Parker and take that to needles and I-40 then head on up to 93 I think it is or 95 and go up through vegas and reno. Then head north on 395 out of Renoon up to Mcloud and take I-5 the rest of the way. just my opinion and maybe not the best way but I like running it

Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I'm wanting to stay out of comifrornia. Got me a fossil truck. It's an 05.

Phx-Wickenburg VIA U.S. 60 then U.S. 93 all the way to Twin Falls, Id. (thru Kingman, Vegas, Ely, Nv.) then Interstate to Seattle. Only congestion is Vegas. Good road, nice scenery. First scale will be near Twin Falls, Id.
TGUNKEL Thanks this. -
well that's a good way to go then. It avoids all scales. running 395 out of reno is a good outlaw way to run. no scales and not a lot of cops. plus once you get to Ashland you can take exit 13 I think it is and run around the NB Ashland OR scale

Thanks guys

My dad lives south of Wickenburg on 60. I run hay and supplies to his place all the time kingman to phoenix is a good route just don't run 60 all the way north from 10 as it has a ton of lights. I prefer the 303 if your on the west side or 17 to the 202 if your on the east side.
Rugerfan Thanks this. -
60 takes you to Wickenburg when you get to the first round-a-bout take the first exit that will be 93. It is a truck route you wI'll be fine I take that same route every week. When your on 10 in Phoenix take the 303. GPS doesn't like it but 303 will take you to 60/grand ave. Use Google maps works wonders to save time/miles

forgive me, I am an idiot... I totally forgot about running 60 to Vegas. Did that one time. I feel like my supertrucker card should be revoked lol
