West out of Wausau, WI-29 rolls through open country toward Eau Claire before I-94 picks up the load and carries it across the St. Croix River into the Twin Cities — 230 miles that Dale and Vernon treat as a full working day, start to finish.
West Before North, Not The Same As The Milwaukee Run
Where the Milwaukee lane runs south on the interstate, this one cuts west first. WI-29 is a two-lane state highway for a long stretch before it feeds onto I-94, and that difference in road type is exactly why our office schedules a Minneapolis pickup earlier in the day than a same-distance interstate run would need.

- WI-29 west through open country before the road widens onto I-94
- The St. Croix River crossing marks the run into the Twin Cities
- Same truck, same crew, no handoff at the Minnesota line
- A heavier household sometimes means splitting the trip across two days
Crossing state lines changes nothing about who’s driving
Two hundred thirty miles and a river crossing don’t hand this job to anyone else. Our own crew rides it the whole way. Call to talk through a pickup date.
Compare it with the shorter Green Bay hop, the corridor run to Milwaukee, or our longest lane to Chicago.
