    The Sure Kill Expressway, at rush hour has got to be one of the finest drives in the country! (Insert large amounts of sarcasm).

    Yessir, Friday night me and some friends went up to Allentown to see a show. I live in S. Philly, It took us almost 3hrs to get out to the toll booth to head up the NE Extension just because of volume, no accidents or anything that would normally hold you up. Coming back from the tolls to my house was 15-20 min. max. Traffic does suck here.

    My Apology.. I Just Wanted To Know Why These Companies Love Sending Drivers To PA So Much.. I Be Refusing Them To Stay West Or South... I Always Get Yelled At For It & Everytime I Go East I Don't Get Any Miles Unless I Hit PA.. Hell I Make It Hard For Planners To Get Me To PA.. Everytime.. I Hate Up North..

    It Does Somewhat.. No Wonder I Get Yelled At When I Don't Wanna Go To PA Or They Call Me Into The Terminal To Explain How Important PA Is To The Company.. I Hate The ###### State.. I Can't Help That I'm Stubborn.. I'll Drive Anywhere Else But PA.. #### That..

    Since Then I Think My Miles Took A Slump.. Since I Told Them #### Off To PA..

    Well, if you're referencing eastern PA, it's no different than the Chicagoland area, Houston, DFW, etc.

    Unless they're making you avoid toll roads, I don't see what the heartache is about.

    I've delivered and picked up in just about every part of this state with a heavy concentration in the western and Central/eastern part and I would rather drive in eastern pa then in western pa.

    What the hell is wrong with PA or any northern state? The population is here. Pa, NJ, NY, CT, MA. If you're a truck driver, you'd know that the highest population and the most $$$$. Yeah, there's a little bit of traffic, but there is traffic everywhere else too. We all go to places we don't want to, hell, I hate going to Chicago, but I go. Money is money. Don't forget, Turkey Hill, Wawa, A-Treat, cheesesteaks, pierogies, real hoagies and Tastykakes are things you can really only find in pa. And besides, the northeast and New England areas seperate the steering wheel holders from the truck drivers. If you can drive NYC, you can drive anywhere. I'd certainly run the 5 boroughs before I would run Chicago.
