I believe the exits now correspond with the mile markers like the rest of the States (except New York). Before it was exit 1 then 2 then 3 then 4 and so on, didn't matter what mile maker you where at.

[@robwright49]

New Hampshire is a sequential hold-out. Vermont does sequential but added signs at each exit that say "Milepost Exit" and whatever the mileage-based exit would be.

[@mikeguinn4522]

The federal government mandated that the exit numbers needed to match the mile markers on all interstates in the USA. The states were given a deadline. New England waited till last year to get this done. I live in Rhode Island and got to see the whole process. Love watching you!

[@autracing82]

New Hampshire is Still holding out

[@paulroy2030]

As one who lives in MA the process of changing exit numbers has been an ongoing, expensive. process. It was over ten years ago when the federal government ordered MA to change the exit numbers to correspond with the mile markers. If they refused the feds would no longer send them federal highway money to repair roads. The state fought this until finally they gave up and started the process about five years finally finishing it last year. The process involved not one, not two, but three sign changes. The first time the signs didn't adhere to the federal standards. The second time they messed up the exit numbers. There was a problem with interstates changing numbers such as I290 turning into I395. Each of these roads had the same mile markers. And you ay have noticed some of our roads travel in two different directions. The third time they finally got them all correct, well almost.

[@grtjimmy06]

They were changed because the federal government forced them to. All exit signs are to be mile based versus sequential so its easy to figure out how far it is to your exit. Most of the US and Canada use a similar system. Karen is probably wrong because its a Rand McNally GPS and Rand McNally maps themselves are usually notoriously out of date and riddled with errors...probably the same reason you got messed up in Indianapolis.

[@Khmtravelvlog]

I use copilot gps along side Google maps sometimes the road map isn't up to date and can confuse you when it goes haywire but Google maps is up to date.

[@supper7...]

13 hours ago, the first person explained why the exits changed. 13 hours later, folks still writing about it!! Oh well...😊

[@MegaGeorge1948]

Maine used to be a part of Massachusetts. Although it started as a separate colony in the 1620s, from the 1650s until 1820 Maine was a part of Massachusetts. After the Revolution, people living in Maine began a 35-year campaign for statehood.

[@Gilbeezyskit]

Maine’s slogan should be: “The rain in Maine stays mainly in Maine.”

[@gerryglaser1521]

The exit numbers were changed to reflect the actual mileage on the route

[@TheRivethead]

Like every other state except Connecticut far as I soon

[@robwright49]

​@TheRivethead New Hampshire is another sequential hold-out. Probably won't happen as long as Sununu's still governor, because he said he was an Exit 3 kid. 😂

[@prgmr5057]

The company that makes roads signs lobbied the legislature to update the signs.

[@bonnierust8850]

You should get a couple of yeti/ corkcicle tumplers. One for water one for coffee. Keeps you cold or hot for a long time. My water tumbler is never not beside me. Game changer!

[@CrAzYnAdEz]

Hi Josh, I'm from Massachusetts. To answer your question about the exists a couple of years back MA changed the signs because it was one of only a couple of states (I think NH was the other one) that didn't number them by the mile marker on the interstate which is mandated by the federal Government. MA had to change them otherwise we would lose federal funding, so now the exit's are numbered by the mile marker instead of numerical order. I personally don't like the new system because there are some places where theres no exit for like 10 miles so the exits will go from like 12 to 22 instead of 12 to 13. I've lived here my whole life so I don't even look at exit signs anymore but it's supposed to help truckers because it gives them a better idea on how far their exit is.

[@janetwalz4516]

If I lived in New Hampshire, I really wouldn't like to have the word "Die", on my license plate

[@robwright49]

Everyone else explained the exit numbers changing; you got off Exit 32 in Biddeford - Maine changed their exit numbers back in 2004. The exits were all messed up before then. From the NH state line they went 1-2-3-4-2-3-4 because the Maine Turnpike didn't start until after Kittery. Biddeford used to be Exit 4. Ps, it was super cool seeing you driving around my stomping grounds of Southern NH and Maine. Got so excited seeing the TA in NH you stopped at, and the (pis-cat-uh-qua) bridge.

[@shawnh3166]

Was definitely good seeing trucker josh drive through this part of the world

[@joesullivan8861]

another wonderful vid josh....will be going to maine in a couple weeks for vaca.....portland for lobster fishing then bar harbor.....looking forward to it now that everyone else is back to school!!!!!

[@mickbrown942]

Don’t worry about the cost of the updated signs. Lived there for years and there’s a reason they called it Taxachusetts. Let the Massholes pay for it. Go Pats…

[@chestergerber7125]

Here’s a good one. Years back Pennsylvania ( approximately in the mid 70s) had exits matching mile markers. Then a few years later changed them to numbered exits from the state line not corresponding with mile markers. I am sure as starting east bound from the Ohio line the exits were numbered. Then a few years later changed all exits back to matching mile markers. This occurred on I-79 also. Oh well it gave their highway workers something to do. Cost is no object.

[@Donald_Shaw]

You and Ol' Blue had mostly nice weather going through the New England countryside (except for the last bit of your trip today). Beautiful scenery! Drive safely, Trucker Josh.

[@lisahinton9682]

@Donald_Shaw I love that you said "Drive safely, Trucker Josh." Sadly, most people nowadays don't use either adverbs or commas.

[@brucelamay8977]

You hit rt128 at the right time usually bumper to bumper😮

[@Lakanen263]

That’s what I was thinking he went through there way to easy.

[@paultauriainen]

I don't know why people don't wear high vis vests on while walking around the truck stop. It was good to see the east coast of the USA from the trucker's perspective!

[@richardthomas1743]

Doing good Josh! I miss not seeing Brit and Theo!

[@kendrickrose8232]

The new exits are based on how many miles you have traveled on the road instead of how many exits there are. That’s pretty common in New England

[@CrAzYnAdEz]

It's actually common throughout the U.S. except for New England. If I'm not mistaken MA and NH were the only ones as of 2 years ago who didnt number their exists that way. They only did it recently because they will lose federal funding for the highways.

[@brucekimmel7475]

I'm 2 days behind but catching up. Mass. came into the 21st century and made their exit #'s match the mile markers. You made the right decision to stop, stay safe.

[@keithsnyder7903]

The exits now reflect the closest mile marker of the interstate.

[@MrFlyboy1313]

The state motto of Maine is " Dirigo " which means in Latin " I Lead " or " I Direct " referring to the North Star symbol on the state great seal

[@JuniorFan08]

It's Piss- cat-ah-qua with the emphasis on "cat" - there was some discussion back when the US was formed that the northern and eastern parts of Maine should belong to New Brunswick and Quebec. Bangor would have been a major Canadian city & sea port if that had happened, I"ve kind of forgotten my Maine history in that regard. Re: changing exit signs, it's one of the reasons the US didn't convert to metric - too expensive to change all the signs nationwide. I live in Maine, exit numbers changed on the turnpike and 95 maybe 10-11 years ago now. It's taken me that long to get used to the numbers and not refer to exits as they used to be,

[@user-kq7le8wd8h]

Best Truck Videos... My Parents are Canadians.. You are a good man...

[@rich-mp6dm]

I remember when the Pilot was named Sturbridge Isle truck stop . Hated it back in the late 90's. I think they had a guard shack with a gate years ago if I remember.

I know that hill right by the iroqois rest area. Crazy hill and then downgrade which opens up and can get windy. Your right near herkimer

[@jamieo8653]

Great content Josh! As already noted, you hit Ma 128 at a good time as it is typically wall to wall traffic. Come visit us again….soon!!🇺🇸

[@larrygorst8749]

Enjoyed the ride. Thanks for having me along.

[@kushgirl4204]

Maine the way life should be!

[@Snakebliskin85]

The interstates and freeways in Massachusetts were using a sequential method to number the exits. The federal mandate forced MassDOT to implement a mile-based system. You may have noticed that your favorite highway exit has a new number to correspond with the mile marker, accompanied by a sign indicating what the former exit number was before the change.

[@philiplindley7384]

Good to see a new bit of country every now and again.

[@Lowhood]

Josh u kidding me we were im the same area in NY how didnt i see you im gonna cry again

[@codypatch7024]

I thought I saw you and Big Blue. I work in Portsmouth, NH, and was on my way to work when we passed.

[@Newallofficial]

ah man trucker josh came right through my hometown and i didn't even spot it lol

[@joesphbest3120]

It's been awhile since I've seen you, no dog this time & I see you have a new truck. 😊

Is that a Howes Hockey tape hat? They are based in Grand Rapids, MI just a few miles from residence! Small world.

[@timmieclark9976]

Where you stopped for the night ( town of tyre) was only 10 miles from my house.

[@aaronw_]

Piss-Cat-Aqua 😂 My family owns a towing/diesel repair shop 5 min from that TA, in Portsmouth. And a 2nd location off exit 3 in eliot ME If you’re ever in a bind in that area let me know!

[@shawnh3166]

Good seeing you roll through maine trucker josh

[@paulcourtemanche2386]

Here in New Hampshire, they have still resisted changing to mile markers for the exit signs. Here in Manchester, depending on which state highway that you are on, we have 2 Exit 1s. 2 exit 6s , and 2 Exit 7s....🤣🤣🤣🤣 It was great seeing you on roads that I am familiar with.

[@robwright49]

And don't forget the big interchanges with other interstates don't have numbers (the I-89 exit on 93 and the I-95 exit on 101 in Hampton). So weird. Hopefully NH changes soon, but Sununu is vehemently against it.

[@miker5401]

In my neck of the woods . I’ve been to that t/a in Greenland many times

[@T0nyD1986]

Big fan of your videos and being from Rochester Ny that’s so cool knowing you basically drove right by me on the way to Toronto 😁

[@foxiedogitchypaws7141]

Hello, just saw your video first time. I love Maine, beautiful there. Brotherinlaw has 3 peterbelts on the road. Az to California,One local and one Az to all over 🚛stay safe and thank you for driving. 🦊

[@darrellmcmillian2085]

Don’t want too confuse the old people 😳by saying this is the old exit number ✌️

[@rhutton8258]

Welcome back to New Hampshire. The TA in Greenland is a pit, and now it's almost all paid parking. I much prefer the Irving across the river in Kittery, Maine (Exit 2). Lots of parking and all free. And if you have time it's an easy walk to downtown Portsmouth.

[@jillotto5762]

Hi Trucker Josh me and husband Ron like what you call gas Juice great video nice scenery have a safe trip back home

[@DavidCinelli7815]

They changed all the exits in New York on highway 84 as well.

[@francoispanneton609]

Hi Josh, In high winds and running empty, can you pull that trailer (roll-tight?) with the tarp structure all the way up to have an empty flat bed instead of a massive “sail” going down the road? Thank you

[@janetwalz4516]

It is expensive, but it had to be done. The yellow signs are there temporarily, then they'll take em down like they did in PA. Also, this is why we aren't switching to the Metric system, it would probably cost trillions. There are 2 highways that I know of that use the metric system. I-17 from Tucson to the Mexico border. and Delaware Tollway 1, where the exits are metric but the yardsticks are miles, unless thy changed that too,lol.

[@johnziegler4858]

Hey Josh coppell weeks ago that trip you were running with that dollar truck. That truck mt aetna pa near where I live. Last week end they had a truck show there at there yard . That one k w had a picture the truck under the hood same color as that truck. Now this past week you went right by us by about 10 miles at the intersection 78 and 81 . I'm a retired trucker put 47 years. Started 3 years in dump truck 7 years hauling steel 37 years hauling car's. Now I watch you guys on u tube I see the roads I drove. Ok happy trails.

[@Skullitor]

Federal Law. Exits must match mile marker.

if its morning or afternoon u can park in paid parking for a little bit its not a big deal.

Pine tree state is maine’s slogan

[@tannerhume6269]

They changed them in case of an emergency! They go by the mile marker. So if you have to call emergency services and you are at exit 20 you can convey that to the 911 emergency services.

[@Lowhood]

Exit number match the mile marker most states follow that rule

[@johndenissweeney6753]

[@RockinGuy1994]

How's that baby

[@kelhapam]

Glad to see you back in New England...and in particular my old stomping grounds in York and Kittery, Maine. BTW, it's Piss-catta-qua ;-) If you remember, I was the one that sent you and Brit the lacey multi-colored baby afghan for Theo. Good wishes to you and yours. Probably the reason they changed the exit numbers is that in a lot of states the exit numbers is the same as the miles down the highway, in New England, generally, we just number them sequentially. So if you have them sequentially and want to plunk a new exit in the middle of the mix...how do you number it? Also by mileage it's easy to determine how many miles to the next exit.

[@lisahinton9682]

@kelhapam In the old days, when life made sense, a new exit was given a letter. So, for example, it'd be exits 7, 8, 9, and then a new exit was added and it was exits 7, 7A, 8, 9. Easy..

[@grifftrips5001]

They had changed their signs because they standardized the exit numbers to be the mileage marker on interstate system. Its a federal highway should be standardized across all states. Maine previous just nimbered their exit. So exit 2 could have been at mile 10. Now its exit 10. So u know how many more miles to your exit. Federal Government funds being used to do the change

[@charlesgriffin2002]

That kind of Jeep is well known in the United States.

[@marilynbridges5343]

Why not go to NB & then up to Quebec?

[@johnzelz9314]

Thanks for this video, Josh. I grew up near Sturbridge and was visiting a few weeks ago. Sadly, I saw a black bear get hit on I84 near where you stopped for fuel. Also spent a lot of time on I90 when I lived in Rochester. Good to see it again. Have a safe trip.

I believe federal law requires the states to match exit numbers to the mile marker. Most likely to get federal highway dollars. Oh, a politician nephew has a sign business. Was that too cynical ? Lol
