Default EWR to JFK by auto/pax pickup at JFK/JFK hotels & auto rentals

That isn't the case at all, Yahoo and mapquest will often give routings that
are on roads that do not allow commercial vehicles. I believe in this case
it's looking for the shortest route.

It's actually a problem with the mapping software, they give you the
routings, but make no indication that commercial vehicles are not allowed,
so if you are renting a moving truck, don't trust them.

I believe the reason Yahoo and Mapquest give "odd" routings are that
they are not equipped to distinguish personal and commercial vehicles in
their systems. The preferred course, as we've seen, involves using the
Belt Parkwy which is closed to commercial traffic. Not wanting to give
that routing to an eighteen wheeler with the subsequent knocking down of
low bridges, (oh, the liability) everyone is directed elsewhere.
