    Never taken this route before. Any advice?
    The GPS tells me US 285 to Albuquerque then 550, 491, 70, US 6 to I-15.
    US 6 is what I’m worry about. Any one know how it’s maintained in the winter?
    It doesn’t look like there are many choices without adding hundreds of miles to the trip.
    Any advice is appropriate.

    Thursday and Friday not much chance for snow on US 6 between Green River and Spanish Fork. Highs in upper 30's.

    It pays $3.40 a mile. Need to get to LA by the 14th, but loads to LA from here are cheap. So I was thinking will grab a load to Salt lake and then get another going south.
    I’ll keep an eye on the weather and most likely stay on 70 to 50 to 15 like you suggested.
