Too conservative for the interstates

At 76 years, I have become too cautious for the "I" routes. Like to drive my rig at 62, I feel I am becoming an obstruction as speed limits rise.

Since we want to make a 4000 mile visit to SD and WY this spring, I need a routing service that will send me by the "back roads".

Any recommendations?

In my experience, 62MPH is plenty fast enough for the interstates and U.S. highways. We get our best fuel mileage at 59-62MPH so that is where I set the cruise control. My advise is that if you have not already done so, set your travel pace at about 4-5 hours per day. We like to do 10Am-2PM. We call about noon to make sure potential stops have room for us for the night. If we need to go through any large city on the interstates/expressways, that usually misses rush hours. At 76, I am guessing you are retired, so if you haven't alseady, slow down and enjoy the journey. We have stayed places for a week that we thought we were only staying overnight.
