50, 80, or 88 to South Lake Tahoe?

2008 f350 diesel. 32 foot 9500 pound fifth wheel. Any recommendations on getting to South Lake Tahoe?

    Actually yes even from Truckee you need to get over to 50.
    Probably taking 89 or 267/28.

    Eventually the only highway to South Lake Tahoe is 50. The sooner you get on 50 the better.

    I asuumed, which I should not do with the proofreaders we have here, that the OP was coming from Ojai.
    I do realize that 50 is not the direct route from Truckee, I have lived here most of my life.
    My apologies for causing you so much confusion.
  • It all depends on where you are starting from.You did not say that.
  • Try to time it Monday - Thursday. It's a popular route and the weekenders are always in a hurry and a lot more traffic.
  • 50, it is the most direct route to South Lake Tahoe.
