    hey hey hey I'm just telling you what my friend told me, I was as curious as you guys, I personally have never been in a position where I need to call the police to get a car moved I know my way around nyc pretty well. I just keep driving until I find a road big enough to turn and reset from there.

    Do you think the world is going to stop because morons park anywhere they feel like? Better yet do you think the police want 500 calls a day from truck drivers because a car is in their way? C'mon driver. It's called lesson learned. He won't park there again I promise.

    You just stay in Texas where you can turn around at the next available dirt spot and leave the city stuff to these guys. BTW- Have you seen the trucks up here? They look like they were in the Bosnian war. Trust me when I say they will hit it and go and not think twice. Better yet you have a high percentage of getting hit by a box truck with no company name on the side.

    I may be in Texas now because I got smart but I drove from Sussex County into the city for 5 years pprobably before you were born . I don't have to worry about that anymore because I stay in the South where people are civilized .

    you really should get old enough to know what your talking about
    congestion is the same everywhere
    streets can only get so big or so narrow
    delivering off the back end of the truck to a cobblestone street
    is no different at the Chicago meat market
    or the Fulton Fish market when it was still under the bridge
     
    Straight Stacks Thanks this.
