Quick dropo - out of there in 30 minutes. Almost turned left onto the main drag, but Trainer caught on in time. Would not have looked good on my resume to have parked a rig under a low bridge.. or even had to back up a block to get turned around.
Heading off to Devin, MA with the rest of the load. Eastbound on I-90, be VERY careful in Erie. There's a point where the road makes a 90 degree TURN (not your typical interstate bend.. a turn. Like at a street corner), and the road leading up to that is VERY rough.
After that, entire drive across NY and MA is quite pleasant - if you discount the $5,000 in tolls you have to pay.
Arrived at consignee's at about 21:00 local. Day early, too. They were happy to see us - unloaded the rest of the beer in about 20 minutes. Even took off those stupid plastic pallets the beer guys seem to love so much. Only complaint they had was that the'd wanted us to be a full load for them. I told them that Trainer and I had drunk it all on the way over from Colorado. Got a laugh...
Headed down to Hamilton, NJ for next load. Had to turn driving over to Trainer after an hour or so - out of hours.
We were prepared for delays going through NYC. Oddly, never even slowed down.
