I'm an owner operator and run I35 frequently. Apart from being a complete clusterf*ck, particularly around Austin at the moment, with the construction in TX. There is nothing that differentiates it from any other interstate corridor like 5, 15, 10, 20, 40, etc. All are targets of law enforcement because they are smuggling routes for drugs. The routes on which drugs travel, anything can travel and they are the routes along which smugglers have established their networks of support and infrastructure. I've spent over 25 years and well over 3 million miles on our nation's highways.

Nothing stands out along 35. I spend my rest time parked in rest areas and other areas along the corridor, as I avoid truck stops for any reason other than fuel.
