    I am normally on a home daily route but for ONE WEEK Only I have to go OTRish and looking for a little help. Leaving Cincinnati Ohio going to Lowe’s Distribution Center in Plainfield CT. Our company is weird and wants us to avoid Tollroads at all cost.

    Thinking about taking I-70 To Baltimore Run 695 around to I-95 and take that to Plainfield Ct.

    Thoughts

    Least amount of tolls would be 71 to 76 to 80 to 287 to 95. You'll have 1 toll going over cuomo bridge.

    Go North get on 80 East to 287 to 95, that's the best route absent weather considerations.

    Edit, agree with post above, take 71 to 76 to 80

    Not bashing your company but it makes me laugh, they send you to to far Northeast US and also want you to avoid tolls, lol. Next they'll send you to Long Island and want you to avoid all tolls.

    Yeah man without studying that policy with a fine tooth comb, your best bet is to get up to 80 and head east. Good luck
