Just to confirm your point and perhaps expand on it, a young Army officer named Eisenhower, the father of the Interstate system, describes crossing America in the 1930's as part of a military expedition. It took over 3 weeks to cross the country by motorized vehicle.
Fast forward to Germany's Autoban developed by Hitler prior to the war and Eisenhower had his solution.
Yes the interstate system was designed for the movement of missile trailers, but it was also designed for the movement of tanks and all other military tracked vehicles so they could be moved seamlessly from coast to coast as needed.
To this day, all interstate highways are rated for military equipment movement and military vehicles are never built so large that they could not travel on our interstate system.

That's just the people who post.
Spend a minute thinking about what the lurkers know.
