Along the journey, you can expect to smell play-dough, hog sh*t, rotten moldy smelling dog food, rotten cow parts from a slaughter house and numerous other scents.
Dont get me wrong, I can 'tolerate' "country air". I actually enjoy the smell of cow manure (seriously), but this road is just too much!
Not to mention, I really hope your air ride seat works!! Talk about a washboard!
Then if your lucky, and you can ride the hammer lane for a while (the less of a washboard), you'll be delighted to hit a few certain spots in the road that nearly throw your truck onto it's side.
WTF!!
Oh yeah, 55mph speed limit is unreasonable too!
Ok, rant over. I feel better now. :lol:

I picked up a load of cookies from Keebler a few years back. It was a live load and apparently they were just baked. All I could smell was fresh baked cookies coming from the trailer. I only drove about an hour after I picked up before I shut down for the night. When I woke up the next morning I was absolutely starving.

Worst smelling place I ever delivered to, was a Meat Processor in Tarboro, N.C.
I really hated going there. One day, it was so foul smelling, I gagged as I walked from my truck to the check-in. The odor permeated my cloths, and I could smell it long after I left that place.

It's 65 for the most part unless they have destruction going on.
The left lane is the safest lane on that hiway
Watch out for the garbage haulers, especially at night
The smell is normal for that part of PA, you will get use to it(I did)
Stop at exit 10 and get a good meal
Anything else?
And if you think that road smells bad, try traveling up PA RT 41 from the DE line to just outside of Avondale, PA on a humid morning. Rolling the windows up does not help.

The only one I can think of offhand is that section of I75 which runs through Kentucky, near some paper mill. There've been sections of road I've encountered which have smelled just as bad, but that's the only one which comes to mind that smells so foul on a consistent basis.

Kentucky?? The one that comes to mind ist the stretch of I75 between Knoxville and Chattanooga just before you get to the later, always same spot. Summer worse than Winter. Also any of the roads down in Florida where they are hauling Sulfer.

I've only hauled to Florida.. twice, I think? It terrifies me just to see a Florida license plate in my own state. I don't even want to imagine life surrounded by them.
