The route
The truck follows I-95 north through Washington, Baltimore, and New Jersey, then either continues on I-95 through Connecticut and Rhode Island or takes I-84 and the Massachusetts Turnpike (I-90) into Boston. It depends on traffic and the truck's other stops.
Seasonal notes
New England riding season runs roughly April through October. Laconia Motorcycle Week in New Hampshire each June is one of the oldest rallies in the country and about two hours north of Boston. Winter salt is a strong reason to ship enclosed.
Arriving in Boston
Boston streets are narrow, and Storrow Drive and Memorial Drive do not allow trucks, so deliveries in Back Bay, the South End, Cambridge, and Somerville usually happen at a nearby spot. Suburbs like Quincy, Newton, and the North Shore are simpler.
