    While I agree with that idea I have a budget for Walmart and the mo ey I earn at loves is used for snack or other things.

    Routing opinion question. Going to North Platte Walmart from Gallup nm. Would you go over the mountains and stick interstates by taking 25-76-80 or go the "pay" route of 40-54 in Tucumcari then state and us highways up. Flatter, but small town slowdowns. Not in a time rush so both ways are viable.

    I would do neither. Take I25 to Trinidad, CO. Take US 350 to CO 71 to I 76.

    800 miles to delivery from Gallup.

    847 if you up to Denver
    827 going via US 54 to US 83

    You avoid the climbs in CO and it's good roads. Got almost 9 MPG going that way in December

    US 54 to 83 is the route I took. The cow #### smell is so strong along 54 in Texas you'll be fighting to hold onto your breakfast. During the summer the smell probably melts the paint off the trucks. Even rolling through Amarillo isn't as bad as 54.

    After about 6 miles of smelling it I rolled down the window and started yelling at the cows as I drove past them. They need to teach those cows how to use a litter box.

    Rand was throwing me that route (oddly it kept doing that then recalc for Denver), but I've been burned one too many times, so I was sticking with what I knew. Good to know that's a good route, appreciate it much, Steel.
     
    Steel Tiger Thanks this.

    I grew up in Lubbock, wind comes out if the east off the stock yards time to time, whole city would smell like west of Amarillo. Kind of use to it.

    I shut down north of Albuquerque one night due to weather and road conditions. When I hit 350, the roads were in better shape than the interstate.

    I'm on the cat scale website trying to register my efs card. It keeps wanting me to enter my EFS Driver ID. I put in my company ID and then my truck number. No dice so far.
