Care to elaborate? I'm driving to Memphis tomorrow, and had planned to take I-65 to the W.K.Y. Parkway to the Purchase Parkey, etc. I despise 65 between E-town and Nashville (too many trucks), and don't prefer going through Nashville.

I'd just like to follow up that I really enjoyed this route. I took I-65 to the Western KY Parkway to the Purchase Parkway, then US 51-S through Tennessee down to Memphis. The Kentucky Parkways were fine with almost no traffic and 70 MPH - I set cruise and never took it off. Most of US 51-S through Tennessee ranges from 65 MPH to 70 MPH, with a few stretches at 55 MPH and stoplights, though few and far between. It was about 20 miles shorter, roughly, than 65S to 40W, and took about the same amount of time, perhaps a few minutes less. The best part - my blood pressure spiked only once or twice, compared to the near-constant cardiac event that I experience everytime I take I-65.
