North

I just don’t know how everyone that drives the northeastern routes does it. I went into Long Island today and then Connecticut. Wasted all 11 hours along with higher blood pressure. Traffic was horrible

It takes some getting used to. I wouldn't have it any other way now. I'm not sure how anyone can drive the mid west with those straight, long, flat, empty spaces. Would drive me bananas.

It certainly isn't always fun, but someone has to do it. It's not so bad if you have the flexibility to drive/not drive certain times of the day. I just see it as one of the sucky parts of the job. Embrace the suck.

Being from Long Island, I feel sorry for you. In addition to traffic, there is no truck parking on the Island. You would have to be creative and hope you picked a safe place. The other big issue with the NE is lack of parking and smaller truck stops.

On my first delivery to the island, I stumbled across what I believe to be the only designated place for trucks to park. I-495 exit 56, westbound side. I stayed overnight once and did a 34 there. The place surprisingly never filled up. Room for 20-30 trucks, only a porta John there, but a decent gas station with Dunkin Donuts up the street. Free to park.

I was keepin this one a secret, but yall are family so...

Lol I stumbled across that place too. Delivered on the opposite side of 495 in the industrial park and thought I'd find myself a hole in there to hide. Found that place on a quick search but only stayed about an hour to get my next load and plan it.
