Route overview
Up the Cajon Pass on I-15, across the Mojave to Las Vegas and through the corner of Arizona into Utah, where I-70 takes over and climbs east over the Colorado Rockies to Denver. Out on the Nebraska plains the truck joins I-80 for the long haul through Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Pennsylvania into North Jersey.
Colorado sets the winter pace. Between Grand Junction and Denver, I-70 runs through Glenwood Canyon and up to the Eisenhower Tunnel, above 11,000 feet, and snow or rockfall can shut the road for hours. From December through March, leave some give in the delivery date.
At the Newark end, the driver usually phones the day before and again a few hours out. A loaded carrier can’t sit long on a busy street, so keep your phone close and know where the truck can pull over.
