    I am going to Marshfield WI. this weekend for cdl training. the way I have it routed it will take 933 mi. and it is all interstate, some of it thru Chicago.

    I will be leaving out of Bristol Va. on I-81.

    Can you guys come up with a better route?

    Thanks

    Interstate is gonna be your best bet up to WI from VA, but if you can come through chicago at night you wont hit the traffic AS bad but there will still be traffic.

    Much less traffic at 4:00 to 4:30, I always figure a hour plus to get aroud Chicago, don't forget money for the toll's

    For a car. 10.00 should cover it quite well.
