    How would you experience New York City drivers get to this address… I’ll be coming in from Jersey on George Washington Bridge…

    I am familiar with the Goethals and Varasano bridges and the BQE also… If that would be simpler. I usually pick up at DHL at JFK airport… So I just want to make sure others think

    Do you pay the tolls or company? are you looking for the simplest way or the cheapest way? What kind of trailer, a van?


    If you have to dock on that street... might want to call n see how deep the dock is in the building. Im saying that bc you may want to be sure youre not coming the wrong way up the block to sight side it in if its not deep set or right on the road.

    i believe the dmv office is still covid/closed around the corner, that’ll help a lot with congestion.

    If you choose GW, follow 95 north to the whitestone bridge. Cross that bridge and follow 678 south to the nassua expressway/878. Go east.
    Second light make a right onto the cloverleaf to go north onto farmers blvd.
    At the first stoplight take the second right onto 147th (5 way kinda intersection)
    Follow to Guy Brewer Blvd
    Follow to second right onto 148th rd (first right is 148th Ave, they might have a dock on that side too?).

    Alternately, off farmers blvd you can bang the first right (its tight but doable) onto 175th (one way down) then bang a left onto 148th.

    thank you so much for the ‘ Last mile‘ directions. I am coming in driving a international with a 53 foot reefer. I will be empty. I do want to be on the site side! So I think those last set of directions the best… When I called, I told them I was coming in with a sleeper truck and 53 foot trailer… He said that’s no problem. I back into the building and by the street view I see what he means. Should be fun! Thanks again you guys are awesome

    oh by the way… Company pays the tolls I have easy pass so definitely the simplest and safest way…

    This is a semi regular run for us… And I’ve done it a half a dozen times. But all the other times I’ve picked up at JFK at DHL. That is super easy… This one is a new one on me

    I am glad that you smart guys chimed in on this. All I could think of was don't accept their first price; haggle.

    Wasn’t the conventional wisdom always the Goethals and Verrazano going in, and the Throgs Neck and GW coming out?

    Depends who is paying tolls, that's the cheapest, but more traffic

    @Ruthless
    Thanks again. I went your way except I stayed on 878 to Guy Brewer Blvd, made a left. Then went up to 148th Ave, make a left and another left onto 175th and the left again onto 148th Rd. The back into the building was actually quite easy. I got there about 1pm
    I left the City via 678 to LIE to BQE to the Verrazano bridge and then the Goethals bridge.... the Cross Bronx was really backed up headed south (or west?)
