We always will opt for the longer way around to avoid as much of the LA basin as possible. So I'd choose I15->138->14->I5->126->101. Being about 58' long flat towing, we usually use the truck pumps at truck stops. If you take the I15 a little further north, there is a Pilot right at the 395 junction. Take the 395 and the 18 to get back over to the 138. Headed to Flying Flags?

I agree with this route. When you're heading north on I5, pass the 126 and go out of your way about two miles to Castaic. It's very trucker friendly. Fill up there, and then double-back down south on the 5 to the 126.
Alternatively, there's a Circle K in Santa Paula at the intersection of 126 and Hallock on the right side of the street. It's right at the intersection where the 126 becomes a freeway instead of surface street. The Circle K has a nice big-rig friendly island on the far right side of the lot (east side).
