    Run Quite Bit of Northeast... I Believe they do meats out of George's, Virginia Poultry Growers out Of Hinton, VA and other storage facilities along 81 down into Harrisonburg.. When I Usually Run Up The Northeast I Usually Pass or Get Pass by the Guys On The Way but Great Equipment and As Much As I Hear Them Talking On 19 I Havent Heard Anything Negative About Em, So I Would Check Them Out...
