DC to Boston????

Hi there,

I’m planning on driving a 26’ Budget truck with a towed car from Baltimore to Boston on a Thursday morning.
I would appreciate any advice about:

What’s the best route?
Should I avoid 95 and the tolls (drive up 83)?
Where would be a good gas stop?
Do I have to stop at weighing stations?
Are there restrictions on entering Boston with a truck?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!!

 

Hi 04cobra,

Thanks!

I have driven via the George Washington bridge and cross Bronx Expy, and that seems a bit scary with a truck.
Would it be better to bypass NYC by taking the palisades interstate parkway and Tappen Zee bridge (87/287)??

I am going to Newton Center, so I assume that I would take 95 south from the MA turnpike and then get off at Boylston St.??

Do you have any idea how much the tolls would be for a 26' truck and a towed car?
Could it be more than double the cost for a regular car?

Thanks again!
