Chris, over the years, I have traveled much of US41 from Indiana south to Florida. Indeed, US 41 here Macon is literally around the block for me. I also drive almost daily on parts of I75 and I16. If you hold 65-70 in you van, you won't be a problem on the interstates. On I-75, you will be passing most of those driving motor homes and towing house trailers.
