I've moved across country twice so far and this is pretty spot on. The very beginning and very end of the trip is the only point that's going to be potentially difficult, otherwise you should always be traveling on a major highway if possible.
The only thing I would add is to plan ahead and make sure you know exactly where you're going to stop and rest for the night with that length of drive. You're going to want to plan to get to your final destination in early evening when there is a good buffer of sunlight still around or in the early mid-morning so that you can get as early a start as possible on unpacking. Also make sure you have a lock for the back of the moving truck if you're stopping anywhere overnight and park the truck somewhere you can see it from your hotel window.
Also sunglasses for morning driving. My first solo trip had me riding a curb early in the morning because the sun blinded me so much
