    Ploy has numerous loads going to NH on a weekly basis that I'm sure they would use to get you home. Ploy also has what are called mom/pop stops that will occasionally go into VT. So getting you home shouldn't be too hard with some notice to dispatch.

    With the exception of a handful of old Freightliners all the fleet is now International Pro-Stars. But even some of those are getting worn out. I've had my truck since Nov of last year & already it has 100k miles on it. All trucks are equipped with APUs, so idling should be kept to a minimum. However idle time is not tracked.

    Poly does not utilize PrePass or EZ Pass.

    As to sitting between loads, it's a rare occasion, so this is not an issue. This is something you should have learned from reading this thread, as well as most of the answers I gave you. But I do sympathize with spending time to read what has become a long thread. Good luck.

    We can travel most toll roads (exception those in Texas and parts of Florida that I am aware of). We pay the tolls and then get reimbursed for them. They will advance you money for these if heading into say the NE and you need some extra funds.

    That is correct. They will let you in up to two hours before your appointment but that's all. It's been that way for a while now. I took a load down there in March and it was that way. I usually travel down to Ft. Pierce and stay at the Pilot or go on down to that large rest area at the 106 mile marker on I-95. That rest area is like 23 miles from the Costco. I usually know what my BackHaul is before I deliver. I get down to the rest area and take my break. Then go deliver at the Costco and then make my way towards my next pick up. Last time I delivered there my BackHaul picked up out of that place in Riceboro,GA. Hope that helps you a little. Take care out there.
