Fresno, Ca. to Macon, Ga. Leaving June 5th ish

[mdmorgan]

I will have some room to haul things back east when I head back from picking up my M915 and M129 trailer, this is the approximate route we will be taking, I can deviate some to accommodate any pickups or deliveries along the way. https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&...tlif136322048432710&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl I'm just looking to make some fuel money along the trip so let me help you help me.

You'll find out how good that M915 pulls when you cross Tehachapi pass......that is one steep hill.
Is the Boss Lady going with you?

 

[mdmorgan]

Yeah she's going with, the whole trip goes like this: Fly from Ga. to Seattle Wa., take 10 year anniversary Alaskan cruise, fly from Seattle Wa. to Fresno Ca., load her families house stuff up into the trailer, drive from Fresno back to Ga. where they will live with us until they get on their feet here.

I needed a pallet of wheels picked up from Chama, NM...but unfortunately it's north of where your going!

I'm in Fresno CA. Let me know if I can be of any assistance.

you've got 3 months, if you can figure out how to get them to Albuquerque I'll haul them the rest of the way.

Shoot, If I was doing that I'd take I-20 back and spend some time at Jack's in Tucson. (In fact, i'll be there again in May).

I'm wanting the shortest route possible, only deviating for pickups or deliveries, this trip is more mission than vacation.

Boy, the Alaskan Cruise sounds like its going to be a good time.

Had to re-read the date again becuase I thought we were going to be out nanner pudding for the cookout.
Yes - I was thinking selfishly.

Daniel, I would really look into coming back I10 and I20. While it is a longer drive, the traffic and roads are WAY better. I 40 across Arkansas is a killer- Ferro's 915 did more up and down then forward. Getting from I40 to I 22 in Memphis is a pain, and I 22 has some killer steep hills in Alabama. Then getting to I20 from I22 is another pain- 15 miles of stop and go in downtown Birmingham.

Thank you, info like that is very much appreciated, I will adjust my route accordingly. If anybody out west has useful info like this please let me know.

Here she is..... Made it from Nellis to Fresno this morning

Does this route look better and easier for the truck?

That is how I would go. Make sure you have plenty of fuel for the desert, and wave at Carnac in El Paso as you go by..........

 

[hndrsonj]

That's the route we took back to GA a few years ago, roads were good. Tucson was a good stop too..

I did the I-20 to I-10 going to San Clemente from Columbia, SC in 2000. Nice ride. About 60 miles east of El Paso is Van Horn, TX, get a picture of the only billboard in town, and heed it's advice. It'll be a long time before you see another place to fill up!

Thats a better route. Watch goign thru Texas by the border. If you get out of the truck , when you get back do a quick look around. look under to make shure you didn't gain a hitch hiker! Be safe and have a good trip!

Best thing to do is just not stop. If you do stop, don't leave the vehicle unattended.......

When I travel I like to take a friend or several. Another Steel Soldier of sorts. Be aware of each states laws regarding having these friends on board. I try to avoid friend unfriendly states but there is at least one there you can't avoid.

Other than the one they'll be starting the road trip in?
