    yes I’d rather that route then going up 95, tons of construction and idiots. 30 is good, besides little bit going thru Lancaster, maybe a few miles more may be worth going right to the pike on 83.

    If a driver from the company did it last week. Why not just the same route. From 202 north, to the Pike. It will be 276 at that point. Then US1 and 13.

    Weight permits on 276 are expensive and anything over 11' wide needs an escort on turnpike.

    yes, just my opinion so you don’t have to go across 30 11’ wide. Either route though is fine and 30 isn’t that terrible. Was just a opinion
     
    nikmirbre and CAXPT Thank this.

    I had to end up routing I81/581/I83/PA283/US30/US202/I76/I676/I95/US13

    Because had I taken US1 off of I76, I would've had to get a police escort because of my length.

    I left Savannah around 11-1130 yesterday and had a change of heart, I came straight up 95 from savannah, around the west side of Baltimore back to 95, then 495 to 95 to 295 N of Philly to US 1 to US13 to local roads. I figured if I went the other way I originally permitted, I wouldn't have made it up there until Wednesday around 10-11am. I got empty about 1pm this afternoon....thanks for all the help. Traffic was actually good the whole way up!
