Which is cheapest route?

Thank you very much for those details. I did think about taking i59 south to the i20 possibly as i know the i10 distance is much greater due to more winding roads. And i know that much farther south the humidity is increased and i worry about that on my car but i also know i20 and i40 have way more fuel stops than i10 also which is major

 

Yea my thoughts exactly. I drove my mom out to georgia in her crown victoria and i never had to be so careful about the route as my car was hauled out on the uhaul a.t. trailer. I did 970 miles in one day and yet my car could not handle it. I did get a tip from my buddy that i may need a new fuel filter and perhaps fuel system cleaning since my car shakes and dies if it runs too long. When traveling to la fayette, ga from michigan, it died when i stopped in ringgold, ga just next to chattanooga and did not start back up until after 3 hours as it needed to cool. Along with it shaking a bit, i changed my spark plugs and this may help.

I do tend to run the heater on low for these drives with window cracked a few inches on 2 windows maybe 3. But have it come out of window defrost vent to help. My precautions.

 

My original plan was i40 to flagstaff then drop south to i10 into cali to avoid the mountains up north. And keep a little cooler for the trip. I think ill run at night and sleep during day at truck stops to shower in my car too.

 

Im from California. Lived there almost all my life. I only left because i lost my job, couldn't find work in my degree, kids are still there with mommy, i need to be back. I noticed in michigan the truck industry started changing its rules and made it open for me to come backto trucking after passing the 3 yr mark of any experience. A contractor at fed ex helped me and now im in. So i found a contractor to get back to cali but was hoping i could find fedex ground closer to north san diego county to be next to my kids again. They are very young. 7 yrs, 5yrs, 1.6 yrs.

 

Wow very good to know. The only positive side is seeing my marine corps buddy and cooler route. I dont care so much to race because every fuel up im stopping at least one hour for my car to cool down a little.

 

That'sa great breakdown too. Thank you.
