Moving from Providence, RI to Augusta, GA
Hi all,
I am moving out from Providence, RI to Augusta, GA by the end of June. I will be driving a 12-ft Penske truck. Any advice or tips about which highways to take will be greatly appreciated. I hope I can get there in 3 days, if doable. But don't know which stations I should rest at.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Concur - With One Small Change
I couldn't agree more with Michael about avoiding I-95 at all costs. Actually, avoiding it will save you some significant costs in tolls in New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Maryland. The 'insult to injury' is that you'd be paying those tolls to drive on far more congested and mind/body debilitating roads. One small change if I might though. I've driven a few of the connecting routes between Providence and Hartford. None of them is terrible, but I'd suggest US-6 as a more straightforward and scenic/relaxed route. Yes it puts you through Hartford, but if you time your departure from Providence for just after rush hour there, you should be able to get through Hartford, Waterbury, Danbury, and Scranton all well before evening rush hour. And Winchester is a lovely town. If you can find accommodations within walking distance of downtown a stroll there in the evening would be a great way to end Day 1.
