    Turns out I'm routed across US 64 towards Little Rock.
    Target area to stop is just west of Little Rock on I30.
    I appreciate the input!

    I wondered how you were going to get a route straight across I-40, I was 8'10" a couple of weeks ago and they made me go across 64 also.

    I was just thinking, that's a sharp turn offramp at Exit 63 and then left turn/right turn into the truckstop. will a 95' load make it?

    JJ's has a gentler off ramp and is easy to get into.

    I thought 64 also, read for a curfew in Little Rock, last stop easy in and out is Blald Knob, go under 67 and TS is on right go to far west driveway and swing wide wide, the ditch is deep, plenty of room after you get in.

    Yea but you can still make it in there its tight but doable Ive gone in there full stretch, You have to use the first drive into the TS though its the only one wide enough to make the swing and you'll need the whole road!

    Made it to JJs in Benton, AR. Big lot and good good. Was routed US 64 west(super nice road BTW), US 167, US 64, I-40 east, I-430, and I-30. What a runabout. Final destination is San Antonio. Except for getting off I-35 a couple times, TX routing is fairly normal.
    Any suggestions off I-35 just north of San Antonio? Seems I'm grooving pavement anywhere I try to get into!
