Route overview
Close to a full diagonal across the country. I-84 follows the Columbia River Gorge east and climbs through eastern Oregon and Idaho, I-80 crosses southern Wyoming and Nebraska, I-70 runs from Kansas City to St. Louis, I-24 carries the truck through Nashville to Chattanooga, and I-75 heads south through Georgia into Florida.
Winter is what to plan around. I-84 crosses the Blue Mountains east of Pendleton, where snow and ice can close the highway, and the Wyoming stretch of I-80 is exposed to wind and blowing snow. Between November and March, either one can hold a truck for a day.
Summer afternoons in north Florida often bring thunderstorms, and inspecting a wet car for chips and scratches is hard. A morning delivery, when one is possible, makes the walk-around easier.
