Penn BF - Have you made a trip North recently? We left TV 5/19 and traveled the route similar to the one Cheap bas has planned. Left at 10 am and pulled into a Quality Inn in Selma, NC at 6pm...sailed thru with little traffic..and even made stops for b-fast, gas and rest rooms!
Left the following day around the same time and with same stops for b-fast, gas and rest rooms pulled into NJ driveway at 5:30pm! Sailed thru the VA/DC and Balt areas and the NJTPK, too! No holdups as you mentioned that we used to endure.
2 day trip was easy peasy compared to the pre-covid trips!
