    Can we keep the political posts out of this thread? I'm going to delete some of the more egregious ones but if it continues the thread will be closed or moved to Political.

    I guess I should be thankful for what I have and just laugh as I sit in outbound traffic on the cross Bronx. I’ve ran nothing but Long Island for the last few weeks, guess I will keep after I though til they stop calling me. Then maybe I can park it a few weeks do some engine work and have @BigCam9670 help me swap my suspension and drink some Miller Lite.

    on a side note, I’ve seen and have been called with some really solid/fair open deck loads no tarps, mid Atlantic/south east region. Loads going to the northeast/new England that pay enough to bounce back or bounce a couple hundred miles to a fair reload.

    ahh I can, I kind of like it. I’m also different then most. I was also born there unfortunately. I deal with mainly good folks out there and still have some good friends out there, and my wife’s family. And the stuff I have been doing is paying well. I definitely not argue with though it can be a pain at times. Sometimes I say to myself what am I doing here lol.

    It's not just the roads, lack of parking, low bridges etc.. the drivers are the worst there!
    It's like they've got mad and don't care.

    It's the only area I've been to where drivers will turn into you real quick as if you're letting me in or we're gonna crash It's your call.
    GW Bridge people crashing all the time there. Everytime i go I see an accident.

    Maybe I’m numb because I run it so often I truly think northern VA/ MD beltway drivers are worse, and after living in NC 5 years I think most these people are the dumbest most aggressive, rude, ignorant people I have ever seen driving, and I guess while I’m at it DE has some of the dumbest most aggressive drivers also, and I will add TX to that list also lol. Won’t argue though tons of idiots in that area also.

    I'm numb to it also. Doesn't bother me, pretty much all I've done is NYC metro area

    Some days I wanna turn the truck into a ram rod Lol. I usually have real early appointments so I beat rush hour traffic and coming back out isn't bad either. Everyone else is headed the opposite way I am
