Hello, I am moving a truck full of stuff to my new home in central Tn. I am very flexible with the dates that I can move, anytime from early Dec to mid January. I likely will rent a Penske, depending on the rate.
I am not familiar with the roads and weather for the trip. I live in an area with light snow, but even with a car avoid driving in the snow when possible. I HATE putting on chains and would not do that with a rental truck. I would paek and wait out the conditions--assuming its not a month wait
I am concerned with ice and sliding as well as stopping time when driving in bad weather conditions. And with a heavy truck I am even more concerned.
So, would it be better do go early before Christmas, or wait until later in Jan? I am concerned about driving in snow conditions and would rather avoid that.
Also, I would like to take I-40 as it is shorter and closer to both homes than using I-10. Would I-10 be better during that time of year, even though it will add a 1/2 day more of driving? How bad would I-40 be?
