Anybody live on Long Island NY? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Thinking about purchasing a truck from Long Island and maybe would need to store it for a week or two until I can come up from NC and get it. Would pay for your time and trouble. May need you to go get it from it current location, a tranny shop. Tranny is shot so it would have to be towed. I also have some questions about toll roads when I come. Thanks in advance.

I second what cdowns said, if is a frikin' nightmare driving a car, imagine towing a truck, last year it took me 3 hrs. to get across NYC just to get to JFK airport.

Im a CDL owner and have no problem towing the car from Long Island to Old Bridge which is right off the NJ Turnpike which is I 95, which may be easiest for you. let me know the tow dolly is like $51 for a four hour rental not sure for the day and id need gas money

You gotta move out of NJ rusty, too expensive to live there, Uhaul rents dollys for under 50 bucks around here for a whole day (just don't tell'em you're hauling a truck

), can't imagine what they'll charge you for the whole day.
