Route overview
This one cuts northwest across the plains instead of going around: US-287 through Amarillo toward Denver, I-80 across southern Wyoming, then I-84 through Utah, Idaho and Oregon and I-90 over the Cascades.
Wyoming and the Cascades are the two weather points. I-80 in southern Wyoming is known for wind closures, and Snoqualmie Pass on I-90 can need chains from November into spring.
Seattle winter afternoons get dark early, so ask for a daylight delivery if you can. Scratches and chips are much easier to spot at the delivery inspection in daylight.

The Dallas pickup starts with a walk-around inspection, and the same check happens at delivery; the Bill of Lading guide explains what you sign at each end.
