Am from sunny California and am moving to Boston soon.

When driving cross country, it is probably a good idea to have some planned rest, fuel, and food stops along the way.

I prefer truck stops such as Love's or Pilot since they are open all hours, you can buy quality fuel, have clean restrooms, most have decent food options, and there are always helpful people around in case you need assistance. Simply put, there are some areas along the Interstates you will be unsafe if you stop, but truck stops overall are usually safe havens in the middle of the night.

Not sure about others, but I find about a 10 or 15 minute rest break to stretch my legs at a truck stop every two hours or so allows me to be a more alert driver on the road.

I hope you enjoy your trip.
