Yes and many new drivers can expect to practically live up in ny and the rest of the northeast. Meaning, prime likes to send to its new company drivers to the northeast and then leave them up there running short runs for weeks straight ALOT. Though ive heard differently from those who lived there, funny how trucking companies make an effort to keep drivers trucking in areas away from home.

I've been sent a load to the bronx once and long island a few times. It really isn't that big of a deal. As far as being stuck in the north east.. I don't think the planning/sales/dispatch people have quite enough time or brain power. You're going to go where ever they think the money is. I've been stuck east/north east a few times... It's like a magnet, once you get up there it keeps pulling you back.

The guys being dispatched as OTR48 will get their share of it, as everyone does. Being a owner/operator, I like being up there, and can't get enough of it. Short runs equals low costs, and the revenue per day is great.

The New York City area has such a bad reputation mostly because drivers just talk bad about it, I think. LA is bad, Houston sucks, St. Louis is a miserable place, and then there's Chicagoland. The point is that every big city can be a miserable place to drive and park. They just talk funny in New Yawk.
88 Alpha Thanks this. -
The most difficult place I've ever had to back into was in Cleveland... Boston has some pretty narrow streets too. If you're going to be a truck driver you're going to be expected to maneuver a large truck in congested and difficult places no matter where you go, and rush hour traffic sucks even in some rather small towns too. Gonna step up, put your big boy shoes on, cuz this ain't no job for sissies. It's a real job for real men and real women. -

Like IP said, if one is going to do this truck driving thing for a living, one must hone the skill of driving. No company only runs on the Interstate highway system in low traffic, good weather, daytime conditions. -
Shy me away. But Brooklyn does. I have no need to play dodgeball with a truck.
