[AT] Trucking a tractor back from Nova Scotia

[Jerry Rhodes]

Guy, I think Alan got you started right BUT when you bring I-90 across above 
NYC pickup I-87 west/south to I-80 will save you 100s of miles in the end, 
I-80 will come together with I-90 in NE Ohio, take 80/90 across OH and IN to 
to I-39 then north to I-90 again no big cities..I've drove this route ( 
Boston to Wauasu WI) about 10 times in the past year an will not take I-90 
thru the "Windy City" ever...
