    You will get to see it... I love driving off the interstate through state routes even if it takes a little longer just to see "small town America" I love small towns, can't wait to leave the big one I live in.

    Honestly i feel like i'm in Alcatraz where i live now i hate it. Lived in this area since 1996 it's time for a change. Had lots of good memories and lots of f'ed up stuff that i just want to break free and start over.

    Sorry sounded like I was on Dr.Phil for a minute there ha!

    I can't say much about living in PA but that's #1 on my list of states I hate driving through, although they do have tons of off the beat and path routes...

    Philly is my least favorite city to drive in, followed by Chicago and Atlanta.

    You'll likely see a mix of interstates and back roads, but the back roads are going to be at places you pick up or deliver to.

    Pennsylvania itself is beautiful in the back country roads but most of them you can't drive these trucks on. Lots of old one lane bridges and stone farm houses. It's just too close to the city where i'm at and city people are migrating up here.
