I'll second sending them down I-80 or maybe I-90 instead of I-94.
www.511MN.org is the Minnesota DOT site for road conditions
www.511IA.org has Iowa road conditions.
In central Minnesota roads are cleared with normal winter driving (some snow pack in spots). I haven't been on the interstates.
The weather forcast here for Thursday & Thursday night is 20 to 40% chance of snow flurries and light snow showers with light accumulations of an inch or less. We have 18 inches of snow on the ground and the high today (Wed) was a warm 30F.
Relatives in Omaha say the grass is showing in spots on their lawns.
How experienced are your drivers? You may want to steer them around larger cities as much as possible.
I-90 through Minneapolis will be congested with up to 40 miles of possible stop and go conditions on the interstates from 7am to 9am and from 3pm to 7pm and later. I-696 around the north side of town will be the same distance and somewhat easier than traveling though both downtown Minneapolis and Downtown St. Paul. I-494 around the south side of town is longer and is always more congested, avoid it.
Sioux Falls, SD; Des Moines, IA; Quad Cities, Ia & IL; and Madison, WI are all medium size towns that are much easier to drive through most anytime of day.
Chicago will be a bear anytime, especially if you come from the north and drive through all the western side of town. I-80 from the west by-passes the west side. Avoid rush hour in Chicago.

I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
