Got til Monday morning to drop first of 3 bobcats. Figured I'd get opinions on the route. 80 has free showers without having to go to a truck stop. That's point in it's favor. 74/70/76 has that WV elevation going on, maybe a negative point although it's pretty.
I'm a company driver, no worries about fuel or tolls, although I prefer to be fiscally conservative on principal....

Depends on where in Indiana you are at, 80 may have free showers, but also have the toll, so you would be paying a lot more for showers than at truck stop (If you have to pay the tolls) if you took 70 across, The hill in wv isn't bad at all, the construction would be more of a issue, but on the weekend the traffic shouldn't be too bad through it.
Bean Jr. and LtlAnonymous Thank this. -
The last time I was out that way, Wheeling hadroad work on 70, so the loop was the better option. 76 flows better than 80, too. The showers in Ohio might be dicey during this 'crisis'.... I'd have to go with 70-76.

Turnpike and let the company pay tolls.

It depends on who is paying the tolls.

I can't really say today because it's been almost 8 years since I was last on those roads. I would, however, give some serious thought to the Traffic on I 70 in Maryland. That traffic in and around Freddrick can be tough, then you have to deal with Baltimore. If it were me and I was not out the tolls I would take the Pa Turnpike all the way to 476 and then go around Philly to I 95 on to Delaware. My comment is made ignorant of road construction etc. I think I had rather go 10 rounds with the current heavyweight champ then go anywhere in that part of Maryland!
650cat425 Thanks this.
