you will find traffic around junction 43-42 on the M1 as thats where the M62 joins. Sometimes you can be sat there for ever and others its not bad so be prepaired for that.

I also hear about shit loads of traffic around 30-29 so also be prepaired.

They are average speed check cameras near the M18 junctions so be careful and stick to the 50mph limit.

Also be careful around Nottingham once leaving the M1 (jnc 26) If you heading to town its all average speed check cameras to so just stick to the limit to save a nice fine and points.

ahhh i see your setting off at 6. Not sure where your from but im going to have a stab at the NE. by the time you get down towards the M62 area it will be about 7.

You should be clear sailing at that time, although chances are you will still be caught up with the average speed check cameras.

Not sure if junct 25 is still closed on m1 but if so jnuct 26 can still be busy after 7pm, then as leckie said speed cameras all way into town, set at 40mph!
