    Just got a run to Lindenhurst Long Island NY. I’m coming from the west... i80.
    I seriously have no idea. No experience.
    Need advise badly.
    I know it involves driving across NYC. ???
    Need best time etc.

    My dispatch pushed 2nd drop back a day. Give me some leeway to work with. That’s in Dayville Conn.

    to connecticut is good,

    Depends on timeframe, suggest getting to long island delivery by 6 am doing that, 80 straight in, hit 95, accross gw to 295, 495 out on the island, then south on 110, down to 27 (sunrise) and over into lindenhurst

    Reverse to get out except just go north on 95 and dont recross the gw

    Avoid parkways, theres signs.

    80 to 287
    287 get on 208

    This is a hazmat load going to Long Island. It’s just some flammable cleaner(?) something for a detailed.

    I just went on FMCSA’s website to see the route to get to Long Island with Hazmat and there is 21 pages!! If ya’ got time you might want to give it a look. Not sure if they consider going under the buildings coming off the GW as “going thru a tunnel”. Good luck. I don’t like going out there with regular freight but I’ve done it a lot more than I’d admit to.
     
    Trucker61016, Dino soar and austinmike Thank this.

    What time ya going in. Hopefully at night time. I'm pretty sure they're still doing construction on the upper deck of the GW. Could always take 287 south to 24 to 78E from 80 and run 278 out to 495
