Game: Name Those Highways

All right. Here's a trip planning challenge for you, especially the newbies and those interested in becoming truckers.

I'm gonna list all of the states I passed thru today, in order, and I'd like y'all to guess which highways I traveled on to get from point A to B to C.

No cheating! You must use a paper atlas and your good sense to figure this out. You can use Google maps to see the local area around the shipper though.

Anyone gets the correct answer, I will owe them a steak dinner, redeemable when they hunt me down!

Okay. I started my day in Tuscaloosa, AL at a TA off I-20 (that's a freebie). I headed to my shipper in Rome, GA. Address of the shipper is 301 Darlington Dr SW.

From there, I traveled through GA, TN, GA (again), TN, KY, IL and MO. I'm currently parked at Love's in Sikeston, MO.

Name those highways! Interstate , US highways and State highways.

Good luck!

Oh, and don't even try using your GPS. My Rand wanted me to go a completely different way than my company routing, which is the route above.

I-20 east to I-75 north to I-24 west to I-57 south. Full stop Sikeston, MO. That is if you took all highways. There are quicker ways.

I run SE Regional , I live on the border between KY & TN off of I-24. When I was in the military used to fly to Sikeston to eat.

Btw the whole GA, TN, GA, TN gave it away.

So how was the climb up Monteagle?

I used to do the Rome GA -> KY part every month or so. I'll leave the routing and the steak to newer drivers.

There's a truck stop in the GA part of your do-si-do (not the Pilot) I stopped at as needed.

I now drive I-55 nearly every day! But today I'm off. 😑

I guess it would have to I-20 east to I-285north (since all thru truck traffic must use I-285) to I-75 north to I-24 west to I-24/I-65 to I-24 west to I-57 south. Now if you took the Briley around Nashville I would have to add TN-155 to the mix

Has anyone stopped to look at where Rome is on the map? Yes I took I-20 for PART of the way.

But then what? How did I get to Rome? And then back to the interstate?

And Monteagle was a blast at 38 mph. I'm 43523 lbs and it's been... interesting.

And how did I get from I-24 to I-57?

I-24 runs into I-57 in Illinois. If there still is construction that blocks getting on southbound then I am not sure. I know I-57 terminates at I-55 so technically you had to continue on US-60 to get to Sikeston.

TBH I didn't bother looking at anything at all. I just shot all the major roads from memory. I get to go over Monteagle again tomorrow. Will be my 3rd time in a week and a half. I am in Alabama just SW of Chattanooga.

I20, I285, I75, hwy 27, I75, I24 I24/65, I24

I'd say from I-24 you probably went across 60 or 62 to the Wickliffe, Ky bridge into Cairo, IL and got on I-57 S and into MO then I-55

I grew up in that area and know those roads well.
