Route overview
Southwest, keeping clear of the I-95 cities: across to Scranton, then I-81 down through Pennsylvania, Maryland and the Shenandoah Valley into Tennessee, I-40 through Knoxville, Nashville, Memphis and Little Rock, and I-30 past Texarkana into Dallas.
A nor’easter at the Boston end is what usually moves the schedule. From December into March a heavy storm can push a pickup back a day or two; once the truck is south of Pennsylvania, winter seldom holds it up.
Take the toll transponder off the windshield before pickup. Massachusetts tolls are all electronic, and a transponder riding in the car can be charged as the truck rolls under the gantries on the way out of the state.
