    Is it a truck safe route from Sacramento to Fountain CO to take US 50 until it connects with I70? Or I80 to Salt Lake then drop down to I70. Or just roll I80 to Cheyenne? I'll probably be fairly heavy

    80 to 15 to US6 over Sargents pass to 70.

    Or you can go 80 to Fernley and jump on 50 there. 50 through Nevada is something everyone should do once, so they know to never do it again.
