    I10 to 83. When you drop south on 83, there's not much out there, be watch your speed in Leakey (pronounced Lakey), there's just a few hills to run up/down. If you're running it in the day time, it's very pretty (it ain't called the hill country for nothin).

    Carrizo Springs isn't a big deal, you never have to turn off 83. In Uvalde, stay to your right and follow the turn to stay on 83. Then in Catarina the road does #### near a 90* turn, they have it marked for 35mph, I've been told cops sit around there but I've never seen one.

    Be familiar with where you're going in Laredo, the whole place sucks. There are so many little streets that trucks aren't allowed on, yet there are shippers/receivers on those roads. Makes no #### sense.

    If you have to stay over night there and your company has a terminal, use it, unless you're gonna run back up N out of Laredo to where all the big truck stops are, you'll get your door knocked on all night by lot lizards. Sucks and it always costs me $30-50 :D

    Other than that, welcome to Laredo!
