    I'm sorry. While better than 95, 84 in CT still sucks. When you're empty, if not reloading right away, the ta in Willington is pretty reliable for parking. Little bit east of Hartford, xt 71 on 84. Don't bother with the TA west of Hartford, fills up by 3.

    Willington is west of Hartford. Southington is the one east of Hartford.

    Southington is more south I guess, but Willington is definitely east, it's my go to when heading to Boston area.

    take 15n to 9s or stay on 691 till it turns to 66 and come back up 9n

    the Danbury 84 one you can get off the exit before and take a left and a right and run 6 over, or get off the 684 exit in NY and run north, that’s if there’s anyone other than one guy there, that one’s easier to blow then the one on 95 which usually has extra chasers, 91 in Meriden is usually hit or miss for chasers, but for the most part they are just looking for the dirty dirt guys coming up off the coast.

    the rest area on the EB side of 84 in southington usually has parking, not that I like giving away all my secrets

    God I use to hate picking up at the Wallingford plant just to run 84 out of CT. Straight trash lol. between traffic, CT drivers (craziest ones out there(, and the construction. Be on your peas and Q's. stay safe

    Running to 295 Murphy Rd. In Hartford. First time there. No specific delivery time. Been across 84 before but was awhile back. Remember construction and how bumpy it was. Any idea with all that’s going on an approximate time frame to Hartford from Scranton?

    Just a little more information. Can either leave next Thursday and deliver on Friday or leave next Sunday and deliver Monday. Anybody know if Sunday traffic is any better than what it would be on Thursday?
