    Kulwhip you wont see alot of NYC if any.... you might run a load into Jersey City if they are short on people in Front Royal but majority of your runs will be from Meats loads albeit from Tyson (Do alot of Dakota City, NE), Swift in Worthington, MN, Windom, MN and John Morrell in Sioux Falls, SD.,, to majority of the time Front Royal,VA or various Distribution Centers Along the East Coast such as Supervalu in Mechancisville, VA (Just north of Richmond), Lancaster, PA, Food Lion, in Disputanta, VA, Food City in Abington, VA just to name a few...

    The reloads coming back West does get a little tricky, like this week i had to make deliveries into two tiny lumber liquidators... not to bad but still its nothing like going into a wide open distribution center.. Most of the Directions are on point so really you have nothing to worry about...
