Let's assume that U dropped those Oats at Liberty Bell or Keystone Race Track. U were close to Rt 1 which would have taken U down to 76 and then 76 down to the South Philly TruckstopNavigatorWife, Trucker61016, Rideandrepair and 2 others Thank this. -
I would rather come down 309 than take the turnpike and spend $43.40 to go from Lehigh Valley to New Jersey. Multiply that over however many times a week and get a yearly number and it's staggering. I don't think that any additional fuel used or wear would offset that. And if I don't find anything coming out of New Jersey then I have to pay the almost $40 toll plus deadhead in addition to that. That really drops your net figure.
I try to keep those expenses down the best way that I can because it really adds up.
But I'm still curious if anyone has a good shortcut from Kutztown or breiningsville to get back to 422 around Oaks or Trooper headed towards 76.
Or if anyone has another way to cut over from 309 to the Mount Holly or Burlington areas without the turnpike.Brettj3876, Rideandrepair and 4mer trucker Thank this. -

You know at one time I used to go to New York City every day. I really knew the city well. It's been so many years I barely remember anything beyond the BQE and the LIE. And I used to go to Queens a lot and JFK.
I have no desire whatsoever to do any of that with my own truck. Even what @Brettj3876 does going into North Jersey I have no desire to do it with my own truck.
Yet I grew up near Philly and I spent a lot of time there and that doesn't really bother me. But whenever there is a Philly load, I always ask where it is. There are some parts of Philadelphia I will not go into.
But come on guys! There has to be somebody that has some super-secret shortcuts from Breinigsville or Kutztown to cut back over to 422 near Oaks or Trooper!Brettj3876 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
222 to 422 and across. Or drop down to 61 to 222 to 422. Honestly i’d run 78-31-95-295 down to Mt Holly.

78 might be okay to go back to Mount Holly. Never tried it that way. But 78 really has some Giant mountains.NavigatorWife, Brettj3876 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
