"bring Route 40"

[Arnold M. Zwicky]

so far the usage appears to be clearly regional: north midlands, from
western pennsylvania to iowa, going north into wisconsin and minnesota
(with one outlier data point from north carolina).  looks a lot like
the scots-irish zone (with maybe some germanic).

i'm a bit surprised that nobody has reported references to the usage.
