Boston to LA USA roadtrip advice
Discussion
Leaving it a bit "last minute, aren't you?
Although unplanned stuff can be a lot of fun.
Not done that trip, but live in the midwest. Cities can be huge to get through, so if you're not stopping in the city itself, go around. Ring roads are 3 numbers, eg. I255
For context, I was driving to Vermont from Logan Airport last time I was there. Took 3 hours to get outside the city.
Pick your sites you want to see, stuff you wamt to do. Fiddle with those destinations in Google maps. They're always doing repairs on parts of the interstates, so get used to slowdown every now and then. Rest stops are by and large safe.
Have fun!

Walmart superstore are usually 24hrs, and usually have a pharmacy.Apart from the odd point of interest, there's pretty much nothing between the cities from st louis, Kansas city and Oklahoma city (depending on your route. Not much between Chicago & st louis either, just not as flat.
North route looks nice- boston-buffalo-chicago-omaha-denver-salina-cedar city-las vegas-LA
You'd see much of the different country types- city, river, forest, mountain and flatlands.
Use polarized sunglasses!
Mandatory PH content- time to beat is 24hrs 39mins, I believe
