    I also heard they deduct in advance from your paycheck for any incidentals such as damage, citations, etc for those drivers going into NYC. They don't want to lose a penny. If you get lost, you lose your home time for going out of route. Home time is a privilege and not a right, I believe you may sign this in orientation. IF you're thinking Western, think again.

    Do you want to run the Northeast? If not, look at South East Carriers; they DO NOT run Northeast.

    Flatbed drivers can...and do refuse loads to nyc and the Burroughs . I drove thru NY yesterday to get to delaware . George Washington bridge and the NJ turnpike was more of nyc than I care to see .

    I don't know if van drivers have the load refusal option though . I drive flatbed .
