^^ Oh yeah. I-10 is terrible, especially just west of Lake Charles and just across the Texas line around Orange. There are some whoop de doos at Sulphur LA that will make you think the trailer will unhitch. Lots of heavy road construction at Orange TX. I would get off I-10 at Jennings LA and go north on LA26 to US190. Go westbound on 190 through Kinder and Reeves. It changes to HWY 12 and will take you through Deweyville and Mauriceville to I-10 near Beaumont. Reverse that if you're eastbound of course. Or you can go north on I-49 near Lafayette and eat at Prejeans. The Coushatta Casino at Kinder has a decent RV park if you need to overnight.
I-49 between Alexandria and Natchitoches is terrible with slab separations that will jackhammer your truck. It broke the belts on both my front tires.
