Welcome to the Northeast Jammer!

I guess I am the oddball. I ran the Northeast so much that I got to where I loved it. I made a bunch of money running routes up there that nobody else wanted to run. I've been to so many places up there that you shouldn't even be able to put a 53 footer in, but I can only recall one time where I seriously felt I had gotten myself in a bind. I kept a cool head and slowly worked on getting myself extricated from a place that I shouldn't have turned into in the first place. We live and learn in this business. Parking is one thing you really have to plan for up there. You definitely want to shut down early if you are parking at a truck stop.

That's a nice run you got there!

An hour and 10 minutes.

Allentown area isn’t too bad Jammer. You’ll be fine. Just be careful of the cattle chute on I-78 near Kutztown. 50 mph limit and there are camera cars...taking pictures.
