Albany is 6 hours atleast for me, Atlanta 2 1/5 hours. hint hint, wink wink. This in Albany is catered more for Fla. pullers, if it is in Atlanta the only guys that will have a longer trip are Fla and Louisana guys, and I'll add south Ga. and south Miss. pullers also. A much shorter trip for the rest of the pullers from the Southeast. And no major airport around there either. Just one mans opinion. It is about the same trip for some of us from louisiana to either place, except atlanta offers the choice of flight....

I'd rather fly to ATL over driving to Albany! And it doesn't look like it from the map, but Atlanta and Albany are both the same driving distance (time) from Louisiana.
