    I used to go to Bow, NH from Schenectady probably 4 or 5 times a year. The shortest route is Rt9...definitely a workout. I'd be empty 1 way but came home with 24 tons of "black beauty" loaded in super sacks. This was also some of my brief experience with tarps, the company never wanted to invest in a good tarp so I'd just use "throw-aways" from Home Depot. I would sometimes borrow a good tarp but gave that up...I found out I could get the shipper to cover each pallet with a huge plastic bag and shrink wrap for a nominal fee (probably about the same cost as my H-D tarps) No More Tarps!
    Route 9 is pretty much a goat trail but it has improved over the years. There are chain laws enforced now in winter months. I would take the longer interstate route in those months...I'd rather stay home in bed than carry tire chains;)

    This one. They call it "Scenic Route 125" - Not recommended for tractor trailers. 12% up, 12% down, 15% at the bottom, and some seriously sharp curves.

    Where is that at ?

    Ive been working a jobsite just south of post falls idaho.... Dude ..... I missed my turn off the main road because of bad directions from the customer. and had to come in to the red point from the south .... Some of those corners i didnt think i was gonna make it ...i went up a hill that i dropped all the way down to first gear , pedal to the floor, engine fan screaming at mach 3, i was only 75k and i didnt think i was gonna make the top....had to be 20% or higher. A hill that would make @x1Heavy proud... Sketchiest delivery ever . told them if u want ur #### tmrw ur sending a pilot car down so i could follow then up the hill , because your directions are crap!

    Been to my share of sketchy sites. I ask for directions of course, but also a google map pin texted for the road to turn on. They usually will send one if you ask

    Yeah i had all that . but they gave me the worst directions known to mankind. Directions are great until u get there and realize those directions are #### and theres no cell service. and there is no address for the place because its a jobsite. This delivery was building materials for someone wanting to build a house on the side of the mountain that is best accessed by helicopter or on the back of a frickin mountain goat
