    So I'm going to be taking a load from Lafayette IN to Phoenix but I have to take a route that stays below 6000 ft. They want me coming to Phoenix through Tucson on I-10. So I was thinking Indianapolis - St Louis - OKC - Dallas - El Paso - etc. Does that general route keep me below 6000ft

    Yes.
    Don’t want those bags of chips popping from altitude.
    You’ll have a mess.

    I think the highest point on all of I 10 is in southeast Arizona and is around 5,000 feet so you should be OK there. This is the highest point of that route.

    Have you tried putting the route into Google Maps and looking around in it for altitude info.

    I would miss DFW. Take I 44 down to Wichita Falls then US 277 down to I 20 at Abilene. About 60 miles shorter than OKC down to Ft Worth.
