Driving Directions ? Bozeman MT to Idaho Falls

Over to West Yellowstone is probably the quickest and there are only a handful of hills.

I usually always go that way. ( DG not allowed tho )

 

Over Raynolds Pass up to Norris and over to Bozeman is good as well. You can't get from Idaho Falls to Bozeman without a few hills.

Remember something. Shortest miles don't always equal fastest miles.

 

You stole my thunder right there.

 

Yeah. When I see people say. My company doesn't pay real miles. So I want to take the shortest route. I laugh. I'll go extra miles if it gets me there quicker.

 

The majority of companies use PC Miler or equivalent. I have found that my paid miles are generally 3-7% less than my hub miles. I don't worry about it. It is what it is. 99% of companies will never pay HUB miles. Truckers can be a shady bunch. Guys would be intentionally driving out of route and circling the city to earn more money. Some companies are now advertising Door to Door miles. We all know how far our door to door miles are. If enough companies start to adopt that system, the others will have to follow suit. Trucking pays what trucking pays. We live with it.

 

Stevens will actually pay out of route miles. I got it a few times. Due to weather related out of route.

 

Going along side yellowstone is just fine.

Don't panic driver. You won't be the only semi using that road and the hills aren't that big.
