Getting to NJMP (big truck, little truck)

Post by jeffw » Wed Jun 07, 2023 10:30 am

I was asked to give some guidance on the best way to NJMP from Boston. Please take a look at this draft and let me know if anything isn't clear. Please note there are 'last mile' directions for small trailers as well as big RV/Haulers:

our shop is right at the junction of 91 and 95 not sure about the northern part of 95 outside of CT but we take 95 south to 287 and go over the tappen zee bridge then get on the garden state that takes you right back to 95 in central NJ. this takes you around the NY city area so no GW bridge.
we go to NJMP a number of times every season it's about 4 hours from us.

Good reference. Going all the way around 287 is overkill pending size of rig and time of day, but good easy route.

The bottom route, getting off 55 at exit 24 is fine for trucks of any size. I drive an 80 foot toter rig that way and our 72 feet of diesel pusher with trailer.

for us the 287 over the tap then the garden state isn't to far after you cross over the tap the garden sate will put you back on 95 at exit 11 I think it is in NJ.
we tow a 48' trailer so we aren't much smaller than a tractor trailer.
staying on 95 to go thru NY over the GWB is hell pretty much all the time.
