I left last Friday with a delivery in Secaucus, New Jersey. My delivery was within view of the New York skyline. After talking to drivers from other companies who had been here I decided to push hard, get there early Sunday and take the Park and Ride into New York city for a bit of sight seeing.
I was so disappointed when I arrived there to find the park and ride closed on a Sunday so after a little drive round to find parking I decided to go and park outside my delivery ready for the next morning. It turned out better than I could have hoped for, my delivery was within 500yds of Secaucus Junction, the mainline train station and only 1 stop from Penn Station in New York.
$8 return and a $10 subway ticket for 24hrs got me to most of the things I wanted to see. It was a fantastic day and will definitely repeat next time I have the chance.
