Overall good suggestions, but I would certainly recommend one variation. At Texarkana take US 83 all the way to US 287 then follow the route as suggested.
Us 82 is a pleasant drive across north Texas which avoids all the congestion in and around Dallas/Fort Worth.
In the past we used to take US 380 from Greenville to Denton to Decatur, but that route has become highly congested. Many traffic signals, heavy traffic, etc.
Maybe I missed something in earlier posts, but the only reason I can see to go by Fort Worth would be a desire to visit Fort Worth.
Interesting route. Why not take 40 to Amarillo and avoid the southern route? I'm already on 40.
Exactly. The route on 82 is a good one from Southern Arkansas, but why go miles out of the way to get on 82. It is a good route and more scenic but if you're wanting to "get there" to the "good stuff" I would take 40 and get it done. (get on across the boring stuff)
