    I'd take 83-81-78-287 and 87 especially if Ur departing Baltimore in the Dark

    @Tall Mike's way is more direct although U have all those I-95 Tolls

    Well, we had a break bulk operation get moved to the terninal up that way, so now we have linehaul runs out of my terminal going there. So as I heard Rod Steiger say in a war movie once, “forewarned is forearmed”.

    I think what I’ll do when the time comes is 95-295-NJTP-80-17-287-87 going up because I roll out at zero dark thirty, and 87-287-NJTP-295-95 coming back.

    Your route isn’t a bad plan B though in the case of indigenous population stupidity.
