Yes, it is a good reference, but it doesn't give info for all the roads in the area, just the bridges that go into the city. That was the problem to begin with, we couldn't find the information we needed and the phone calls produced nothing. UPDATE: We were able to use I87 to I287 then we...

Ok, we are taking the Newburgh Beacon Bridge. Jaminjim is correct, which is why we were so concerned with finding out.

Unfortunately, Panther isn't very good on routing. We've gotten "Explosive Routing" in the past that take us on truck restricted routes. We don't usually trust them. We'll see what they come up with when we pick this up in a few minutes. I know we'd need an escort and have to call to cross the...

We can't take the parkways in a truck anyway. I am just amazed that I can't find any information!:mad:

Thank you very much for the information. Do you know of any other explosive restrictions for the NY/NJ area, or can you point me in the direction of finding out?

We've not hauled explosives in this area before, is 1.2D allowed on the Tappan Zee? I've searched the web, looked at the atlas, we've called State Police, and they gave us a number for someplace in the Bronx and no one has an answer. Help

Good, I hate Flying J coffee :D

Those may be your numbers for "cheap" but my numbers for "cheap" are higher than that. So in that case you are hauling the "cheap" freight and not being a "team player". We are all different, and have different needs. If you want a set rate, then you need to be a company driver, they get .xx...

That isn't what she's saying at all! Does any other business look at another business and say, because they charge x.xx I'm not going to charge less than that? We are in business to make money, those that run at a loss will not stay in business long.

Probably the reason they are going away :mad:

Each truck out here should know what it takes to run their business. If truck A can run a load with a profit but truck B can not, is that truck A's problem? Competition is a good thing, and makes businessmen think outside the box or go under. We have quite a few of those businessmen on this...

We noticed a few weeks ago that the Petro in Milton, PA is no longer Petro. Not sure how long it's been that way.

I've never seen the Olive Branch J full enough that you'd have to park on the street. Different J's have different rules, but either way, we don't park with the RV's we are a truck and park with the trucks. That being said, most of the time, if we can find a spot that's more difficult for a T/T...

That was a good one! :D

Hubby and I both have a Class A with all endorsements because we drove T/T previously. The biggest reason we switched to a straight truck was because they were easier to get into more "scenic" spots. We've now been out of the T/T long enough that we would have to go back through training...

Shadow, most of the time Pilots are so small that we don't park there, we just stop in for coffee

Welcome aboard!

Fastman, a friend of mine found a dietitian that incorporated the GI index into her diet plan, they are out there. Good luck at getting this under control and hope you can get back out on the road soon.

Shadow, since you and your co-driver live in different states, are you planning to leave a personal vehicle at the same location while you are out on the road? Are you both going to plan on being home at the same time? If not, what then? This sounds like a logistical nightmare. I know there...

Me 1. Dunkin 2. Pilot -House/Columbia mixed 3. Wilco 4. Loves If we can brew it in the truck, then it's usually Maxwell House Columbia Hubby All the above but being a retired Submariner, he can drink absolutely anything, even Flying J coffee:eek:
