We live in upstate eastern NY and always take the interior route of I-81 and depending on how far south we are going take either I-64 to I-295 to I-95 or I-77 to I-26 to I-95. While this route is longer mileage wise taking I-95 all the way is longer time wise due to congestion and heavy traffic from NYC area until below Richmond / Fredricksburg area in Virginia and not worth the stress and aggravation.

Someone mentioned taking I-88 from Albany NY to Binghamton NY and then I-81 but would only recommend this route if trying to avoid tolls, while the road is being improved the condition of the road is horrendous and will shake both you and the trailer quite a bit. There are some areas in northern PA where I-81 can also be rough but not nearly as bad as I-88.

From I-87 south (NY Thruway) I either take I-84 to I-81 or continue on I-87 to NJ and take I-278 to I-78 to I-81.

Good travels and stay safe.
