Just our 2 cents. We have traveled over 35K miles in the last 30 months and truly enjoy our class a coach. In that time, we've hit only 2 of those sort backups and have done only a couple of reroutes. So we'd come down on the side of picking your poison with Larry. Over all of those miles, I've planned very closely the routes we've used looking for any sort of restrictions - construction, low bridges, tight curves, propane, low/no shoulders, fuel stops, weather, etc. At the beginning of each day, I double check the routes for changes and possible alternate routes. Making a change on the fly gives me a VERY bad feeling - I have visions of running into some serious route issues (low bridges, dead ends, etc). As a result, I almost always pick the poison I know from preparation. Worst time we've every faced - 3 1/2 hours to go 3 miles over the George Washington Bridge in NYC. UUGGHH.
Just the method we use.
