Pig-Tainer trucks containers from the Port of New York and New Jersey to York, Pennsylvania. The lane runs about 174 miles and drives in about 175 minutes when the road cooperates.
The Turnpikes end to end: over the Delaware River Bridge onto the Pennsylvania Turnpike, then Route 30 across Wright's Ferry into York.
York mixes real manufacturing, Harley-Davidson's plant is the famous one, with I-83 and Route 30 distribution serving south-central Pennsylvania.
At about 174 miles, York sits well beyond our regular 90-mile service area, so these moves are quoted on request rather than as a standing lane.
