    Oh no, you don't want to go across 70 in Denver. Lots of BIG mountains and that's the snow belt for CO.

    To be honest, the fastest route back to Dubuque is to run 15 to 40 over to Tucimcarri and take US54 north to Wichita and up 35. Shorter route and good running. I took that route at least a dozen times so far this year out there and back

    You probably have a few wheel sets. I've always been made to nail the dunnage down so I use 2x4's. roll on, roll off. Super easy!

    Yes, plus you don't have the large mountains to go over or the ski travelers to deal with. Plus it's mainly flat-land so your fuel mileage is better as well.

    this time of year 70 gets closed quite often to trucks due to snow

    Defiantly need to improve fuel mileage. I hope its just cause its new and not how its going to be forever or the ol man will have a heart attack.
