It is a US Hwy so should be plenty wide with wide paved shoulders in Texas. I can't speak to other states.

US 82 is good through Greenville, MS, and from Texarkana, on to Wichita Falls.
The stretch through Arkansas is a bit "iffy" Though fairly well maintained, and beats running I-20 through Northern Louisiana if you're not in a hurry.
The Texas section is very nice once you pass New Boston.
As for west of Wichita Falls, 82 takes you to Lubbock. From there, take 84 through Ft. Sumner to Santa Rosa, and I-40 into Albuquerque.

US-82 fades south to Alamogordo after Lubbock.
84 goes NW to Santa Rosa, and then Northward to Las Vegas, NM and Santa Fe. Then up along the Rio Grand Valley into Colorado. It is a decent drive, but won't take you into Albuquerque

Well, then, you're in luck. When you get to Lubbock, switch to 84. It takes you right to Santa Fe.
I think Capt likes 84 cause it runs through Southern Texas. Me, I like running through Northern Texas, where they still know what trees look like.
