So I accepted a load going to ridgewood and Hicksville, NY. I look them up this morning and discover that they're in Queens and Long island.
I fully expect it to suck driving through there, but what can I expect specifically? I know bridge measurements are different.
First NYC run. What to expect?

Queens and Long Island are not bad at all. Just preplan your route beforehand and STICK TO IT. This is no time to try and wing it on a shortcut. The Brooklyn-Queens Expressway (I-278 )will have a a bridge marked as 12'4" and the sign will say all trucks must exit at Atlantic Ave, but you will clear it just fine. Don't exit at Atlantic. Oh, and remember NO TUNNELS and NO PARKWAYS. it will be an experience, so have fun. I used to enjoy going to NYC when I drove OTR.
Puppage Thanks this. -
I think these are a warning for an exit. I don't think you can hit the overhead roadway unless you drove up on the curb. -
