As an actual trucker, I wouldn't imagine taking a route that far out of the way from Georgetown to Como!
I 70 West through the tunnel, to Frisco, CO-9 directly south to Breckinridge, continue over Hoosier Pass, drop down through Alma into Fairplay... Hop, skip, and a jump north on 287 to Como! Only about 65 miles... Of course, if I wasn't driving a semi, and it was Summer, I would simply take Boreas Pass out of Breckinridge...
And, yes, I have driven that route with a Semi. There's an old US Army narrow gauge flat car laying over a small creek in the middle of Hoosier Pass...
