Reno NV to Portland Oregon.

Or you could take 80 eastv to SLC then take 84 up to Portland.

Neither is a good way to to get there, but both are possible.

 

Which is part of the reason companies are hesitant to pay hub miles...
Which way are you being paid to go? If that is applicable in your situation..

 

During winter there aren't any great routes, even going around and sticking to the interstate means Donner.

 

I've gone that way before. If I had to again I'd probably map out the most direct legal route from Reno to I-5 and take it from there unless some reason was demanding I did otherwise. That was back when I first started driving and was just blindly following the company routing, which I realized within a few months would spit out some totally ridiculous trip plans that no sensible person would follow.

 

Only thing is, that is a route that a sensible person would follow. Unless weather dictates otherwise it may well be the best way to go.

 

That's the way I go, and I try to be sensible. Haven't found a better way yet

 

I did it a couple of weeks ago to avoid the 2 lane roads with 8 feet of snow on the shoulder.
