    Yes, If your making $2.25 a mile for all miles in a dry van, AND they pay all of your tolls, AND drop and hook. That is good rate! I can only assume you are a company driver. And I don't mean being a company driver as an insult.

    I didn't catch that! But the way the rates are right now.... I have customers. So it hasn't effected me. But if I want to do something extra... The rates are garbage. Just an example. Steven's Transport had this posted: Reefer- Reading, Pa to Long Island, Ny. No rate listed so I called. $500 to the truck, and we pay the tolls.... Laughable!! I remained professional, but obviously didn't take the load

    Anyway you run it. It ain't gonna be pretty.
    And I'm guessing that Lima load is 40k+.

    Look at Google maps. There's 3 routes and all of them suck.

    Good luck and happy trails

    First, get an atlas.

    Then you have three basic options:

    • From i76 exit 180, us 522 south doen to us 30 east. US 30 east to i 81 north
    • Take exit 201, pa 997 south down to i81 north
    • Run i76 to i81 south
    Last option is the easiest, but takes longest.

    Second is quickest, if you know how to drive and are not afraid of small, steep roads.

    First has one heck of a climb, but is overall easy.

    Do NOT Shippensburg road between newburg and middle spring. It is restricted.
