    congestion is not the same everywhere.
    A George Washington Bridge is not everywhere for one example.
    Age has nothing to do with having common sense

    Brent Spencer Bridge (I-71/75) going into Cincinnati OH from KY can be just as bad as the GWB.

    And the GWB is totally avoidable.

    sure if you go out of route and have unpaid miles but even bad doesn't guarantee you won't deal with crap another way in

    to perpetuate the myth of NYC being this big scary place
    is just wrong makes people believe it that havn't even been there
    congestion is congestion
    5 miles or 25 miles
    Atlanta Dallas Chicago LA all are bad
    you want real diffuculty try Lynn Mass backing into buildings designed for 16 foot box trucks

    which proves what exactly? that you went from super trucker NYC driving to driver mill TransAm.
    Something went mighty there wrong there didn't it.
    NYC is the only city I know of carriers pay extra to go into and offer no forced dispatch. If it didn't suck that bad that wouldn't be the case. end of story.

    if you really paid attention you would know I ran fishing boats
    for 35 years in the middle
    East river isn't all that scary either

    answer me this... if NYC is just like every other city how come carriers offer extra pay to go into there and offer no forced dispatch?
    Just all a big conspiracy or what?
