What type if volume are you driving out to Cleveland? How long is that trip? Do you think it is worth the drive? I live in Baltimore and I'm thinking about delivering my boards somewhere since we don't have a good local buyer.

Volume. Hmmmmm I used fold top totes . Had over 15 I think and different material . This time 11 totes and less material , telecom. But this time I sold cpu chips. Trip about 6 45 to 7 hrs. 61/2 hrs gps I think .Worth it ? To me it's the best way to learn. No guessing what others mean in a given post. Real experience is the best teacher I'm my honest opinion.Originally Posted by parttimescrapperMD

Baltimore to Cleveland, that's a freakin hike. At least you got to see a good deal of Pennsyltucky.
My brother went to school outside of Erie and going from the northern Philly suburbs it'd take me 6 hours just to get out there. It's a hike considering when I lived in NH I could be from Philly to southern NH in right around 5 hours.
Just watch out for them whitetail.

The toll route is faster but I hear expensive . I save toll $ for emergency only. I also leisurely Drive... Rivers and mountains nice stroll.
All in a days work . Good pay. So I opened a bank account in ewasteds bank. Deposited boardsorts check. A win win.I'm now connected lol.

Driving can be as therapeutic as breaking stuff...nothing like a road trip to clear the noggin.

Pennsaltucky...lol.
That made me laugh, thank you. Probably safer carpooling, what with all those mad cows running around Baltimore.

I was just out in Johnstown for the first time about two months ago. That is beautiful country out that way once your off the interstate. We went up some massive (for PA) mountain that gave you an insane view once you were up at the top... Forget what it was but it was just outside of Johnstown. Think the town of "Scalp Level Paint" sits at the top. Anyway, it was a nice drive.

My maternal grandfather and extended family were from Johnstown. Have lots of "flood" stories. Last in the area about 15 years ago, found my great-great-grandfather's house! Loved the Incline too!
