    I may venture into the flatbed world.

    29 bales @ 44,000 pounds, so roughly 1500 pounds each.

    700lbs to 1500lbs depending on moisture content and how tight it is packed

    I highly suggest 81 to 84 and not stopping at all in NY. That bridge should only be $13 on 5 axles or so. The pride in springfield mass usually has spots and is secure, free if you fuel. 50s diner is next door. Theres very little parking up there.

    I actually took 95 the up until 287 off the Jersey turnpike so I could skip the GW Bridge. It added 33 miles to my route. But through all the big cities on 95, even DC and Baltimore at morning rush hour, I never dropped below 55mph. It was kind of scary. I’m at the Pilot in Sturbridge, Mass, it’s only 14 miles from my drop
