What's the best route from Chicago to Dallas?

My best friend just moved from Chicago to Dallas for work. I’ll miss him a ton, but I’m already planning a trip down south. I’ve never been a fan of planes, so I thought I’d drive there. What’s the best driving route from Chicago to Dallas?

Sorry to hear that your buddy had to leave Chicago, but
Dallas
is a great city! If you want to visit him ASAP but your aerophobia is preventing you from hopping on a flight, here’s the best route from Chicago to Dallas:
  • Take I-57 South out of Chicago.
  • Continue on I-57 until you reach exit 1A for I-55 South near Sikeston, Missouri.
  • Take exit 8 near West Memphis for I-40 West.
  • In Little Rock, stay left at the split to go west on I-30.
  • Stay on I-30 all the way into the heart of Dallas.
When you visit your friend, nothing is more personal than bringing a little gift that reminds him of home. So if you want to get that one-of-a-kind item, get a little extra scratch by comparing car insurance rates on the
Jerry
