best routing?

94 to 90 to whatever way around Chicago, depending on time of day......to 80, to 65 to 70 across to 76 to 84

you run 90 from Beloit to Chicago area,thats one toll road

And the PA turnpike another...

 

Run to Milwaukee, then 41 into downtown Windy, take 94 to US20, on the east side of South Bend jump up to IN120, and run that until OH49. US20 is just south of there, and you run that to Toledo where you run 475N-75N-280S-OH2. At Cleveland, 2 joins I-90, then take OH 176 south to 480E to 422-5-11-80. Run over to State College and over the hill on 322 to Harrisburg, and 83 south to York.

Tolls paid: $0

It was worth doing in the days of 55 in the Buckeye, now that they bumped the limits, I'd have to stop and think for a bit before I'd go that way. Let's see, fat and slightly tall load... yep, still going that way!

 

That's too far that way, almost 200 miles further. Even going to Rockford and 39-74-70... is over a 100 miles further.

 

Hammer pretty well has it---a lil easier to run I94 in Indiana to IN 49 south to US30--then 30 over to I71 in Ohio then 71n--to 76e--to 80e--to 220s-to 322e--which will merge w/83at harrisburg and then into York......
But if your intent is to avoid Chicago--and all tolls--the out of route you will have to do--really isnt worth the time and your costs....

 

You Won't spend a ton of money in Illinois on tolls... I would run 90 to 290 then catch 294 in illinois just to avoid the Chicago area traffic as much as possible

 

Yeah, I always forget that's IN 2 and not 20 for that short stretch, but that's what I meant. And it wasn't the traffic circle as much as traffic in general that got me to start using 120 instead of 20. And if 30 has the higher speed limits, I think olhand has the best way, 49-30....

Unless your outlaw tendencies are evident in your load configuration.

Not that I ran like that or anything...
