What’s the best driving route from Detroit to Dallas?

What’s the best way to get to Dallas from Detroit? My sister’s wedding is coming up and I’m planning to drive down with my boyfriend, but I know it’s going to be a long drive.

The best driving route from
Detroit
to
Dallas
is via I-30 W. This route is also the fastest, but it should still take about 17 hours and 15 minutes of driving. You’ll need to spend at least one night on the road.
If you want to make the trip a little more enjoyable, however, I suggest stopping twice: once in
Mount Vernon, Illinois
, and once in
Memphis, Tennessee
. This will break up your trip so you’re not driving over eight hours for two consecutive days, and it will give you a chance to rest and recuperate before finishing your trip.
It’s also a good idea to update your
car insurance
before you leave to make sure that your policy is still the best choice for you. With the
Jerr​​y
app, you can see a list of policy quotes that work for you in under a minute. Best of all, the average user saves over $800 per year.
