Route overview
I-15 climbs out through the Inland Empire to Las Vegas and threads the Virgin River Gorge into Utah. I-70 then crosses the Colorado high country to Denver, and I-80 takes the long flat haul through the Great Lakes states and Pennsylvania toward New England.
Late summer is the crowded window at the Boston end. The city’s colleges fill up in late August and early September, and student cars heading east can tighten space on trucks those weeks. A pickup a little earlier, or after the rush, finds space more readily.
Boston’s narrow one-way streets, parked solid on both sides, leave a big rig nowhere to pull in, so the handover usually moves to a broader road or a lot close by. Read us the delivery address on the phone and that spot gets picked early.
