    Well made it to new haven before hours ran out, only cause it was a fuel point. Figure I ill suck it up and go thru to Pennsauken. Unless there's a way from here that won't add too much time.

    X2 for me. I learned to run a rig on 95 south in rush hour... I feel at home with heavy traffic, people crashing all around me, dodging potholes. It isn't for everyone.

    Put down where you're headed when you know, lots of ways to avoid the the whoop de do's and traffic of I95

    You're committed now, but you'll be good as long as you're headed by 4 a.m. or thereabouts.

    Yeah but the Turnpike isn't free if you're continuing south through New Jersey, unless you're just trying to get back to 80 to go west.

    Depends where you're trying to get.
