So I am running a load up from Memphis to South Kearny, NJ {near 280 & 95} for a Tues. morning delivery. I then have a back-haul to pick up in Lynbrook, NY, which is along hwy 27 east of Valley Stream and JFK airport. This is my first trip up to the apple and aren't real sure on which would be the best route to take.
It maps out as the most direct route being the holland tunnel, across Manhattan and then the Queens midtown tunnel. Something tells me this might not be such a wise way to go, pulling a 53' van!!! Do I need to drop all the way down to 278 and take the Verazanno Narrows bridge and circle the bay?
Any help would be greatly appreciated gents.
edit: btw ... this is a non haz-mat load. Not sure if big trucks are allowed to use the tunnels there and what I can expect for traffic/roads/tight turns. The back haul is the 3rd leg that will be bringing me back home near Toledo.
