I agree with AZBuck, you ought to stay on I-15 to Las Vegas and then south on US-93, with one caveat (do not cross Hoover Dam with your U-Haul) it will be searched, which could lead to a 1.5 hour delay at the Dam!

What you want to do is... when you reach Las Vegas, turn south on I-515/US-93/US-95 and stay on it until you reach the exit for US-95 south. Proceed south on US-95 (its mostly a four-lane highway these days) and follow it all the way to I-40 and then you can head east.

If you want a short detour, you can cut east on NV-163 (to Laughlin) and head in a beeline to Kingman to pick-up I-40. Although many vehicles take this "short-cut" I wouldn't recommend it because of the steep grades on both sides of the Colorado River.

If you do the I-15 to US-95 route, you will probably shave off an hour or two over one of those other routes, even though they are shorter in distance.
