Been there and done that. The only time they ever gave me a hassle there at all was on an oversize load. I had a wide load and wide load signs, he made me walk over to the truck stops and buy some oversize signs. Wide load signs wasn't good enough for a wide load. lol

Go up to Lubbock , Clovis to 40 Santa Rosa. 40 west to Gallup , 491 N thru Rez . To 191 in Montcellio ,191 to Hwy 6 in Price come out at Spanish Fork and North to SLC on 15 . If you get in SLC early you may find parking but if late reserve a spot , it gets crowded fast . Goodluck I do this run many times .

As a frequent flyer to albq.
550 was the only way I took. Through Durango, Monticello, moab, price.PE_T Thanks this. -
So the reason for 491 was the amount of lights on 550 , easily double . Also coming back from Farmington last time Dot was in full force . On the Rez no DoT and a very Straight shot with better Fuel Mileage. It's my preferred route , for a owner op there is also 2 places that have fuel 20. cheaper than pilot or Loves East of Albuquerque. I like this route but it's all good either way .
Snailexpress and PE_T Thank this. -
We can probably hire Tata Motors in India to build toy trucks. cost 5000.00, 10 gallon fuel tanks and a small trailer with a payload of 4 pallets.
That way rates can be .30 a mile and you will still make money.Snailexpress Thanks this. -
There's quite a few lights between farmington and shiprock.

Although I did kill Mr Ed on the pass on 550 in the wee hours one morning.
