I've made the drive as far as St. Louis. From Dallas take 69 across Oklahoma into Joplin. Then its highway 44 the rest of the way.
Weekends are the worst time to drive because there's lots of traffic.
If you are traveling alone...I would stay out of Arkansas and Tennessee. The rest stops can be creepy. (Been there...done that)
Best of luck to you...and have a safe trip!
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 22133485 Thank You!   No problem...The drive from Dallas to Joplin is pretty easy. I dont know how many miles you plan to drive each day but you might want to stay in Joplin on your first night. There are plenty of hotels and its a nice city. Try to time your trip so you do not hit St. Louis in rush hour (anytime after about 3 pm- 7pm) Make sure you take 270 around the outside of the city. Then you pick up 55. I can't help you much past that point. Thank you so much! I was not sure if Joplin would be about right, but you have helped me confirm this. I'm planning on driving about 7 hours each day (taking an hour off in the middle). I wonder if I should aim for Chicago on day 2? Or possibly not quite that far. Maybe Bloomington, IL. You could make it to Chicago but I would not push it that hard. Chicago is a big city and a big mess...I would stay south of it and tackle the Chicago area in the morning. I drove from Springfield Missouri to Chicago once and was pretty tired when I got there. (I was much younger then too) But...the farm country between St. Louis and Chicago sure was pretty.
