    Doesn't New York have a random number generator that makes clearance signs?

    Really though, there are some states on the East Coast that marks the clearance unlike the rest of the US, because they are friggin' special.

    Don't know how many cops even know about that vtl section. And of those that do, don't know how many would even write you for it. But it is, along with many other obscure laws, in fact enforceable.

    I'd be willing to bet if this poor excuse of a driver lost his job(which I'd be willing to bet dollars to pesos he did), will probly end up here posting a thread in the "report a bad company here" forum about how England mistreated him, cheated him and fired him for this not being his fault.....

    SAd thing is though, its drivers like this that give England and all the other company's bad reputations.

    You say that like its englands fault. Gimmie a break.....
    There's nothing wrong with their training program. As a matter of fact, they send out safety messages all the time reminding stuff like this. Usually, even when a load is dispatched to New York city, they send out more warning messages to review your map and watch your signs. But still, let's not blame the driver, let's just blame the ccompany.....
     
    end of the road Thanks this.
