    Thanks guys. 4 more deliveries to go on wendsday then try and find something back to Illinois. It was the best paying load I've ever hauled and only 1500 miles total but wendsday will be 1 week since I picked it up. Would of been 4 1/2 days had it not been over a weekend and a holiday. Was still worth the trip though.

    I got my timing down ok so trafic wasn't to bad but I slept behind the store on long island Friday night and came back over to Jersy early Saturday morning. Gps said 3.5 hours for 36 miles. Same deal on Thursday afternoon. Slept at the store in Jersy City and hit it real early to Yonkers on Friday morning. Yonkers out to the tip of Long Island and back across 27 was the worst of it.

    You don't roll rte 27 unless you have stops on it. I cut across to 495 on Nicolls Rd if I'm going out toward montauk. 454 if more toward Shirley.

    Idk if you did it already: but the parkway down between cape may courthouse and manahawkin is fine. Can't recall the toll price, I have the ezpass.

    Now do it all over again with an ELD on the dashboard. Adds 3 days to the trip.

    All legal. Stores quit recieving at about 4 in the afternoon and start recieving at 7 am so not hard to keep hours under control. Especially when you park overnight in there lot. Lol

    When I used to run the northeast every so often I was expressing my distaste in the area to a seasoned gentleman at the fuel island. He said one of the most helpful 6 words I've ever heard. Parkway - No way
    Expressway - Yes way
