    Is it faster to use the stare routes (59, etc) north out of Houston to get to I-30/40 or is it faster to go east on I-10 then go north out of lake Charles or Slidell?

    This is a haz load but all the routes look ok.

    Thanks. I am an east coaster and this is new territory for me. In eastern USA a US route can be really hit or miss. Guess in these open states they’re more akin to interstates.

    59 is ok but I don't think it will save time over going on 10 to I 59 north.

    That's how I did it for Labor Day. Hwy 59 up to I-30 and then I-40

    Hwy 59 to Hwy 79 then get on I49 in Shreveport to I 30 is usually faster way as you avoid all the small towns north of I20.

    I run I-10 to I-59, then 59/20 to 65. You're going to have to take 459 around Birmingham.

    Taking 59 won't be faster but will offer more parking options in case you're out of hours. Lots of small town truck stops.
