Calex Express....My New Home!

Good for you. Don't you just like it when a plan comes full cycle with positive results? Have a blessed day with your family.

 

Look at your map after you read these directions and bit of useful info I'll give you. It's not as bad as you might think.

From Griffin make your way up to 81. Take it to 78 into Jersey. Take 287 north to 80 east towards the GW bridge. This way you'll have less tolls and the traffic will be more favorable. Go across the Cross Bronx and go over the Whitestone bridge. Follow the signs to 495 east. It will be a left exit. At the exit for 495 make sure you go left. If you go right you'll wind up on the Grand Central Parkway, a very big no no!

When you make the left exit you'll go about a mile and see signs for 495 east. Take that exit, it'll be a hard right exit. Just follow the signs. Exit 495 at exit 18, I'm pretty sure it's exit 18, just make sure it say's Grand Ave. Make a left onto Grand Ave. Grand ave will split off to your right. Stay on Grand Ave. Take it about 1/2 mile untill you get to the R/R tracks. Turn right onto Rust Ave. Follow Rust ave to 48th. Turn left. 88 Trading will be the yellow building directly across from the NYC sanitation depot. You can get there the night before and sleep there, it's a safe and quiet area. If you do get there the night before just park in front of the loading dock. They will back you right in and get you unloaded quick. They are all Chinese there so you might have a little language issues.

When you leave, go back the same way you came in right back to 495. One thing, when you go back to 495 on Grand Ave, it's going to be a hard right then a quick hard left where Grand ave and Metropolitan Ave merge. Just watch your turns there. When you get back to 495 you'll need to turn right and run the frontage road a little bit to get back on 495. Also, make sure you follow the signs for trucks only at the merge to go back towards the Whitestone Bridge. More than likely Louie will bring you back to the yard empty. Just call him before you leave.

 

Well it's that time again. I'm all packed and ready to leave. I'm loading tomorrow 32 miles from the house in Belle Glade with a load of lettuce going to Florence NJ for Thursday. Be safe all. God Bless.
