The route begins at Highway 17 in Diaz and runs east, before meeting I-57/US 67 in Newport. Highway 18 continues east to Highway 37 in Grubbs before turning north at Uno to Highway 226 in Cash. The route joins Highway 91 and becomes King's Highway.

Highway 18/Highway 91 run together with US 63 into Jonesboro. Highway 18 breaks and runs as Highland Drive, meeting US 49/Highway 1. Then later, it meets US 78 where it begins concurrency with. After Jonesboro, US 78/Highway 18 meets Highway 158 and Highway 135 in Lake City. The four routes continue east to Black Oak, when US 78/Highway 18 turns north.
