The Shreveport to Memphis leg is the long Tennessee run. Three hundred and twenty miles up I-49 north, east on I-30 to Little Rock, then I-40 east through Hot Springs and the central-Arkansas corridor into the Memphis metro. Phil books it as a standard two-day interstate.
I-49 north to I-40 east
The truck leaves Greenwood Road, runs I-49 north past Texarkana, swings east on I-30 to Little Rock, then turns onto I-40 east through Hot Springs, Lonoke, and Forrest City. Memphis comes up across the Mississippi River bridge on the I-40 east approach.
- I-49 north out of Shreveport, Arkansas state-line at Texarkana
- I-30 east through Hope, Arkadelphia and Benton into Little Rock
