Kennewick, wa to Las Vegas, Nevada

Can anyone give me info on suitability of making this trip beginning this evening. I has someone driving my rig from Washington to Phoenix. They are experienced truck drivers and will tag team driving but safety is always a concern. I have never taken this route. Any info will be helpful. tIA

    I would go south from Kennewick on I-82, East on I-84 to Twin Falls then south on US 93.
    At Ely there is two routes south. US 93 and US 6 south and then NV 318, then 93 into Las Vegas. US 93 route is longer.
    I would try to get through the Blue Mountains before dark. Lots of deer after dark!


    Ditto this route, been doing it since 96
