These directions are posted on the Javitts Center's website ([LINK POSTED BY MEMBER] Only Members Can View This Truck Forum Link. ). As my previous career, prior to driving big trucks, was as a concert promoter, this was my first thought for obtaining directions.

By Truck

Please note that our marshaling yard is on 39th Street between 11th and 12th Avenues.

Trucks higher than 12 ft. 6 in. will not clear tunnels. They must use a bridge. Ask the height of the trucks to be certain. Also remember that no trucks are allowed on parkways.

From North
95 South (via the Cross Bronx-Expressway): Exit at Amsterdam Avenue and cross the University Avenue Bridge to 181st Street. Turn left onto Broadway (see Street Directions below).

87 South (via the Major Deegan Expressway): Exit at 155th Street/Macombs Dam Bridge. Continue west on 155th Street to Broadway where you turn left (see Street Directions below).

Triborough Bridge: To Manhattan. Exit at 125th Street. Go west to Broadway and turn left (see Street Directions below).
Street Directions: Continue on Broadway to the intersection of Broadway, West 65th Street and Columbus Avenue. Bear right onto Columbus. This becomes 9th Avenue at 59th Street. Stay on 9th Avenue to 34th Street. Turn right onto 34th Street to 12th Avenue, turn right. At 39th Street, turn right.

12’ 6” and under:
From Long Island–Route 495 (Long Island Expressway): To Queens Midtown Tunnel. Take southbound or downtown exit to 34th Street and turn right. Go west to 12th Avenue and turn right. At 39th Street turn right.

From Staten Island and Brooklyn: From the Verrazanno Narrows Bridge, take the Gowanus Expressway to the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. Follow westbound signs to 12th Avenue.

At 39th Street turn right.

Over 12’ 6”:
Manhattan Bridge: Follow westbound signs to 12th Avenue. Continue on 12th Avenue until 39th Street. Turn right.

From New Jersey they reference you to the "Cars" directions, and give the following directions. This may not be correct, as they say Big Trucks are not allowed on parkways:

George Washington Bridge to Parkway South– 9A. At 42nd Street, turn left. Go one block to 11th Avenue and turn right.

You know, I was gonna get to checking website, which is what I normally would have done, but I just discovered this forum yesterday and thought I would give it a shot.
Nice how they reference NJ approach, see GWB dirs, but no truck ones. I think I will go to Amsterdam or 87 south...

The last time I went that way, the Vince Lombardi plaza was closed. But that has been years ago.
