    I almost got t-boned by a canuck as the idjit was pulling out of a parking lot when we lived in Florida. They obviously thought they didn't have to wait for traffic to clear first.

    My own home state of Oregon. Frustration from the 55mph speed limit, freeways with two lanes that really need to be three, construction zones, mountains, people in four-wheelers who statewide test out higer than most other drivers in the country as knowing the rules of the road, but not following them anyway (willful disregard) treehuggers who hate trucks and Obama bumper stickers on anything with wheels on it that sits still more than thirty seconds.

    Eastern New York State is one that got me swearing, but I will have to go with Bean Town. Do they just handout DL's like candy there???

    Phoenix can get stoopid from time to time as well, but for sheer red-faced, gasket blowing anger, LA has this hands down.

    But I would rather fight LA traffic and get anywhere near NYC or the Cross Bronx Expressway... First time I ran though there I thought my trailer was done for!

    I've taken #79,900 gross loads of wire mesh fencing through the X-Bronx and then the Throgs neck out to Long Island.

    With the way the rolls compress and flex on the open step deck I thought for sure there was going to be chain link fence all over the X-Bronx on several occasions. Those loads were heavy and really tippy. Big problem is that you could not strap them down hard enough without damaging the fencing.

    Our motto for those runs was "in by 23:30, out by 03:30 or else you are spending the day on LI". The traffic either way could totally ruin that drop, forget about a reload out in LI too.

    Have to agree with this one. All of Mass is horrible. But then again, so is most of the NE
