    Never been, but I know where you mean. Once we cruised The Love's, we weren't going back over the bridge lol. The new 202 makes it less painful. Distance is the same.

    It's all the people delivering to Basha's. Something happened at Basha's, either crash, somebody got hurt, or dude's were trashing it, but I never saw that, cause now they won't let people in until two hours before they start receiving. And their lot can hold a good 60 or more trucks.

    Once when i was running local with a few mates out here on a Recycle contract, we managed to get finished a few hours early.

    Fast forward a few hours and one of the guys calls me in a panic that he is late.
    several WTFs later i realised what he was on about ( had gotten dark and was around the time we were due to unload the first run )

    told him to go back to bed and have a geezer nap, then mentioned that we werent due back for another 10-11 hours.
    was a bit of silence while he processed that one..

    He swore that it felt like he had a massive sleep in 2 hrs. :D

    Dave... I remember you showing toll receipts in N. E. .... can you tell me how much? Indians, Ohio, penn?
    I’m avoiding all tolls. Interested in how much I saved.
    Looks like I’m not going to be able to avoid NY to Conn. and Conn. to NH.

    I've not run any of them lately. Maybe 2 years. But Indiana was like $40 all the way, same for the Buckeye.

    Pennsylvania, depending on your weight, might be $200.

    Took PA turnpike like twice in 15 years. Once to Carlisle about 3 years ago, like 24K in the box, think was like $60 or $70.
