Elkton, Md to Franklin, Ma...when to go?

your best bet is late tonight early morning, then hit the TA in Willington CT on I-84 and hang there till closer to your delivery time. Willington CT is just a hair over a hour to Franklin

 

i would be leaving now...get up there, find a t/s and camp out for a little while. traffic through the city wont be near as bad today. if you wait till tomorrow early morning, you will end up in rush hour traffic on 95 in and around the city. which reaally isnt that bad, but i would allow an extra hour and a half if you leave in the morning. But then again, no one ever accused me of being a rocket scientist....

 

The Rt 1 truck stops { north and south } are just minutes from Franklin. they are only an exit or two away off of Rt 495. Rt 95 and Rt 495 also converge in that area just south of Franklin.[ once again only minutes away.]

 

Plainville is a small truck stop,but I've always seen parking there.If not,Mike's is up the road toward Foxboro, [ near Patriot's place ] it's only about 4-5 miles from plainville also on Rt 1. you should be fine on Rt 95 tonight plus saving money on tolls.Take 95 north to 495 north.first exit is Rt1. Plainville is south about a mile. Mike's is north about 3 miles.

 

sorry can't help you there,I'm local and never deal with those rules.

 

some days you just cant do it all like get 600 miles
the important thing to me would be go thru nyc before 6 am
i also would show up at the reciever and see if you can cry your way into unloading early
i do that every week
even pulled it off at a walmart distribution center before
