NYC is great!! ..dropped a load at Jetro C&c in brooklyn...easiest money ever..sat there watched tv on computer all day...got paid NYC premium, extreme detention c$sh only drove like 200 miles!!..I would do that all day every day for the money. Then again I've driven 26ft box trucks all over NYC deliveries etc so I know how to get around, what to avoid and better routes that truck gps and still legal....timing is key with NYC, once you get your timing down you will never have a problem!

Not a place for day-dreamers or those who otherwise are easily distracted. -
Westside Foods, Hunts Point ...
Anybody know anything about this place? Looking at a meat load preplan (stop 1 of 2) and it indicates Sunday 08:00-16:00 which I take to mean either they haven't set the appt yet or it's FCFS. Does FCFS on Sundays sound right to anybody? Sunday morning would be great then up to Portland, ME for final Monday AM
And what is the best way to pick up 95 NORTH towards New England from Hunt's Point? Is that route well marked?Last edited: Jul 30, 2014

STEXAN--they are in the Meat market across from the produce terminal(or kinda around the corner--havent been there in awhile--BUT like MOST of the others--they are kinda first come first serve--depending on what they want/need---doubt you can get a HARD appointment...wish i could say more--Ive had good luck and bad luck there--but it has been awhile......

West side is in the co op mkt,,,,,,,http://www.huntspointcoopmkt.com/
I have never known the gate to close--so get there when you want--go out back and camp--and head over(walk)to West Side in the am.....
As for going back to 95...lv the market--go back to Bruckner Blvd(same way you came in)make a right and go STRAIGHT--bruckner blvd--will merge w/the bruckner Expresway(I278---once you cross the drawbridge...then 278 will just run you right on to 95North--its a straight shot...
Now as for going to Portland....
IMHO--it is easier to run 95-to 91(at new haven--LEFT exit)to 84-90-290-495-95---shorter and lil less hassel than dealing w/Boston---up to you -
Appreciate the info fellows. Once I get to 95 from HP, I can put my truck on auto-pilot to Boston and points north. They did call and asked if I'd be there at 05:00 so I'll go in Saturday evening before it gets dark. Been a long time since I been in there and don't wan't to go in in the dark not being able to see land marks that I may remember in the past daylight operations.
I was supposed to be headed for home time in Texas and they figured this out and had pulled that preplan off of me ... for about 2 hours ... then bounced it back to me. I guess they couldn't find anyone who wanted it. Doesn't bother me, hunts point on the weekend is about as easy NYC as you can get, and the miles are good, but would have rather been in Texas at home for a few days
