    Is this a decent route to take south thru Arkansas? I know some of the Arkansas roads are bad for trucks. Thanks

    Its good. I run it regularly from Little Rock all the way up. Divided 4 lane. 70 MPH. Set your cruise & ride.
    There is a Loves at exit 44 in Searcy. Good stop but it stays busy, busy. Several other smaller places to stay along the way.

    Do you have a Rand McNally Motor Carrier Road Atlas? If not, buy one at the next truck stop. It lists the prohibited truck routes, low clearances, and other truck restrictions for every state. It's costs $20 when new and sometimes $10-15 later in the year. They sell it at almost every chain truck stop. Don't leave home without it.

    That's in Bald Knob. There's another stop almost across the street from the Exxon and the Farmhouse Cafe next to the Exxon used to be pretty good.

    Yup, I run 67 quite often up to Searcy and even Newark (I get off at the Newport exit). Additionally, it pretty much parallels I-30 all the way down to Texarkana so it's a good bypass option when there's a wreck, or construction backup on 30. The only area that really sucks is down around Arkadelphia. It's a royal PITA through there.

    I love US 67. It's a good road that can take #### near to St. Louis going northbound. It's one of the more peaceful drives in Missouri and Arkansas.

    Here's a website I found that shows weight-restricted bridges and roads in Arkansas, of which there are many when you get off the interstate. The weights are subject to change without notice and may not be the same as shown on the website.
