thanks again, I just got to hometime today and saw a manilla envelope from the NYDOT in my stack of stuff, I'll post the picture shortly but these are some nice maps.

 

not to bad for free. i might have to order new ones mine are from 2010

 

Yeah...if the Hutch goes over a week without being run into by some knucklehead, it goes into withdrawl I believe....

Thanks for posting the pic, AZS...I just made the request myself for a few copies. Can't be too prepared.

 

I have already received my maps from NY. Three days from request to arrival at home.

Kudos to the state of NY, and thanks.

 

When I was trucking out of Montreal and TO I used to take any NYC trips that came up as a LOT OF OUTFITS PAID A east coast/NYC BONUS..one PLACE PAID 150.00 us PER TRIP..plus i had a half sister that lived there..so \i got to visit..If you ever do run NYC get directions fro customer and keep clear of them "city boys" that will offer to guide you in for a cash payment.... I enjoyed doing Manhattan with beef and pork down on west 13th st

 

What we need is a list like this:

BRIDGE AKA 5-AXLE CASH TOLL TOLL DIRECTION
OUTERBRIDGE I278 $65 EASTBOUND ONLY
VERRAZANO NWS I278 $70 (?) WESTBOUND ONLY
BRONX-WHITESTONE I678 $35 BOTH (?)
GEO. WSHGTON I95 $65 NORTHBOUND (FROM NJ)

Delivered to Maspeth the other day and, as usual, was nervous about the infamous 12-2 sign east of Atlantic. Even took a few photos!

But the thing that irked me as much as the low-clearance postings (which I went under with a box that I have measured at 13'1") was NOT KNOWING FROM A MAP WHERE THE TOLLS ARE COLLECTED. Can somebody in the know create a table with info like what's above?

And another thing: I ARRIVED in Maspeth without too much panic but wanted to leave another way to avoid the Verrazano toll. So I headed for the Triborough and, OF COURSE, saw more dumb low-clearance signs around the area of 278 and QUEENS BLVD. So I said, "*(@^, I'm not as sure of the clearances here," and I got onto Queens Blvd. from (I think) 69th St., made an illegal left turn, and hi-tailed it back down to I-495 and east to the BRONX-WHITESTONE, then to the Cross Bronx. Could I have just taken the Triborough (RFK) to Major Deegan to Cross Bronx to Jersey????

Let's make this post even more helpful!

 

Let's see. In 35 years I have delivered an average of 35 loads a year to the 5 boroughs. Mostly Manhattan. Clearance signs are screwy, 12" less than the actual clearance- all over NY State. Don't trust one? STOP HOLD UP TRAFFIC AS LONG AS YOU NEED>
To hell with the honkers behind you. Another trick is to follow another truck with the same size trailer. If he hits, you stop...
I used to get butterflies in the stomach for the first 15 years. Not so bad now....
