    Hey a....both my critters were born in the LA hospital. Rooms looking down on the dunkin donuts where the little old ladies sit and talk in French so fast only a native Quebecois would understand.
    I've had in-laws with cars all stoved in. Known women who put their man's stuff in the dooryard. And I've been known to get mighty ugly under the right circumstances lol

    So the FFE guy at the elizabeth freezer helped me get back to the thruway and told me way to trick to help my GPS.
    Got into Perth. Holy mother of God. That poor town probably was nice 100 years ago. The cars are Very sympathetic. Whole row of them backed up to let me turn on Smith st. Made it over to Elm. Glad the FFE gave me the heads up about backing down into the door. 7mph over to the other freezer. No incident. Terrifying but no smashed pedestrians or drivers doors flung open at the last minute.
    I don't understand how anyone could drive in those cities every day. Even in a car. Guess I'm a country bumpkin but it's awful.

    It's only a 1 exit thing from 95 south on rt 9 iirc and then the GS splits and trucks stay on the rt 9 ramp.
    But yes you are correct

    That's why we have 6 box trucks, two 35 foot trailers with lift gates and a 45 and 48 with gates too...we are in Manhattan, JFK and all around the island every day. We have a few drivers taking 53's into the deepest heart of the Bronx and Brooklyn.

    Out NY hut bill is larger than our IFTA ! ! !

    Perth Amboy was something 150 years ago just across the bay from the shore before pollution and tract housing moved in.
