One of the stranded drivers mentioned in the article was a UPS driver heading eastbound to his home Hub in Secaucus, NJ. He became stranded behind a couple of jack knifed trailors at[COLOR=Red] 1 PM on WEDNESDAY and was finally rescued at 11 AM on THURSDAY, [/COLOR]and taken to the shelter. He had been STRANDED for 22 HOURS in sub zero weather, along with an estimated 1,000 others. P.S. As of now, I78 is STILL CLOSED, 50 hours and counting.
