    I have only driven through the LA basin....including downtown LA, Orange County, Hollywood, out to the desert, etc. It's not my favorite, and I would not like it every day...but its not awful once you get used to it. With my personal experience I would not be as relaxed in the other cities you mentioned, since I have never driven them.

    I gotta say Pittsburgh is legendary for a reason. As anybody who has wasted half a day fighting their way down Rt.51 will tell you. Big truck or 4-wheeler, makes no difference. Hell, I once took a 4-wheeler over Mt. Washington to get out of Rt. 51 traffic, and smoked the brakes coming down. In a 4-wheeler!! A dag-blasted '88 Merc Cougar smoked its brakes coming down the south side Mt Washington! And it was still better than overheating the engine sitting in traffic on Rt51! Gods above and below, I hate driving through Pittsburgh!

    Which state is worse? All of them. Crappy roads that will tear your equipment up. 4 wheelers who don't know how to drive.... and 4 wheelers who just don't car. Truck driver's who have no business being behind the wheel of a big truck.... and dot that has a hard on for your dollar.

    Cities? I'll go to NYC before I EVER take a load to Pittsburg.
