Seeing three options all close in time and distance. Thinking of going through Shreveport instead of the central Arkansas route hwy 167.

The route that puts you further west and goes through Tulsa is shorter distance but longer by time.

What says the rant??

I prefer a PJ but if you need to drive just pick one and go if they are the same. Stay away from major cities in rush hours.

We did Shreveport to Fayetteville to KC to Omaha.

It was decent besides the inbred Arkansas DOTD posing 75-55-35mph every two miles and a fat cop sitting right over the slowdown. I bet we saw more cops in 50 miles of 71 than we did for the entire trip outside that

Don’t drive central Arkansas during the middle of the night. It is shorter but much slower, lots of 2 lane windy roads and small towns

Thanks..

Waze and Google maps both show that as preferred now.

Driving right now so shouldn't be any traffic and not hot as balls.

167 is 4 lane all the way to Little Rock now. Then I-40 to Alma, then I-49 to Joplin. Easy drive. A few slowdowns in smaller towns. Hwy71 from Shreveport to Ft Smith is pretty curvy. Remember, you are in the mountains. Some 4 lane, some 2 lane.

This is what we did. Drive is boring as shite but it was easy and pretty much interstate the entire way. Only part of the drive that slowed us down was Kansas City where the interstate turns into a highway with red lights then turns back into interstate on the other side.

Made the drive from El Dorado (South Arkansas) to home in Rogers today myself.

Thanks, hitting as much interstate as possible. That plus no traffic should do the trick God willing.
