In my heavy socializing CB radio days at Maislin it would take me 15 or so hours to turn Albany out of Kearny (316 miles) on a Saturday. Usually had a solid load of newsprint so Op Mgr was OK with that. Had to keep my CB "friends" happy by stopping at each service area to meet up with them.That could be why Maislin closed
I always carried my lunch in a bag and sold the bags in bulk to a Big R driver
