What's Your 20 Maverick

Enroute to Tin Mill. Load is going to Turtle Creek, PA.....

What's the best way in JXU?

 

I'm at Crossroad Farms on Indianapolis waiting for my reefer to get down to -20.

 

Home until Tuesday!

 

The easiest way in (the way I take) will help you avoid downtown Pittsburg altogether. Take the Turnpike, go on past the I-79 exit. Go to the SECOND 376 exit (the first one is just a few miles once you cross into PA) EXIT #57. Immediately get in farthest left lane right off that exit- puts you in the EZ Pass toll booth on the left. Thru the Toll booth stay to far left. Take Business 22 that loops to the left. Getting off this get off ramp is tricky, bad angle with the oncoming traffic from your left side. Time it just right to get all the way left off that get off ramp! You will be truning left onto SR-48 S within about 500 yards (get in the RIGHT left turn lane). Follow 48 S. You will go thru a few lites and once you get to the light that's at the top of hill back 'er down Man!!!! You immedialtely go down a steep downgrade with a stop light 1/4 mile down. Be careful!!!! Continue 48 S to SR-130 W. There will be a SHEETZ gas station on your left at this intersection. Turn right- another TIGHT TURN, but not too bad, I do it 3x a week. Go thru small town called Pitcairn, 25 mph!!! Cop always in there. Follow 130W till you start seeing stoplites again. Watch for Thompson St, go thru it to NEXT LITE, Turn LEFT ON Shaw Ave. Stay as close to the middle of this small street as you can up till it deadends. You will be making another tight RIGHT turn at the deadend onto Braddock Ave. Turn right there and stay to left of the forked little intersection you see as you start making that turn. You are now on Braddock. Take the very first entrance to keystone commons that will be on your left about 500 feet. Once inside, take first left and go around the building all the way to the back of the complex. You will see other flatbeds and wagons parked there for Nextech. You do not need to go in and check in first, if either door 1 or 2 (Receiving doors) is open and no one is in front of you, go ahead and back on in to 1 or 2. Take your paperwok to the office that is behind you and set on the desk, then go get untarped and unsecured quickly. If you have never been there, please be careful backing in those doors Man! They are some of the hardest ones around. PS_ Your GPS will recognize their address as "Turtle Creek, PA" not Pittsburgh. You don't wanna go where that address is- trust me....

 

Pilot exit 92 off I-64, Leavenworth, IN (actually parked across the street cuz I'm cool like dat...)

 

Thanks man! While I was loading at the tin mill there was a PGT driver there going to the same place. I asked him and he told me the same thing you just did. Lol
But I'm always cautious about taking directions from another driver....some guys will set you up. Thanks again!

 

Loaded at Gerdau in Calvert city ky heading to Kansas in the am

There's a possibility I may have nightmares for years after reading these directions!!! LOL And that's the easy way in !!!

 

Yep. And from what I can tell, he's right!

Welcome to Pittsburgh: Where the "truck routes" are big enough for F-150's

 

Rest Area, I-40 West exit 170. Only had 15 minutes left on my clock and I took the last parking space.
