    East coast isn't as scary, people tend to exaggerate. I ran through the GWB my second week in my driving career. Trust me when I tell you youll pick up experience quick running north east, even if its just one load every now and then.

    There is a guy out of Lancaster that several times a week, I think, I have seen him pulling pups down to Houston and or back. I have only seen him on 45 going to or from one to the other. Not sure if it's tires or not.

    Oh...congrats!

    LOL going to jersey is like an automatic 8 hour vacation--plan on being there all day no matter what!

    the east coast isnt that bad--you just have to be careful in nyc and jersey--the rest is pretty normal--but there is a ton of tight spots in northeast.
