    What are some of the worst cities that you have drove in?

    What are some of the main Highways leading into those cities and is there better times than others if you have to go into that city?

    New York City and Washington D.C. NIGHTMARE!

    Of course it is not exactly fun driving in some parts of other cities either. Like for instance Chicago, we got a load delivering to Oak Street. Right smack downtown Chicago on a no truck route street, highly congested and people walking everywhere, very narrow and cars parked both sides of street. Nasty. Another one I didn't like was on the waterfront Boston, MA. No company directions, (miles of underground tunnels so gps doesn't work) no posted addresses ect. So I guess it depends on where the pick-up or drop is in a city as to how bad the city is going to be.

    I hope to get on with BTC in Memphis and they cover the midwest and southeast so hopefully No NYC or D.C. but I did hear Atlanta can be undesireable also.

    I will list my non favorites:

    Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland OR, New York, Hartford.

    The reasons on these is the traffic load, and the racing 4 wheelers.

    Ive been to Houston only once and them people are crazy. I dont like going there in my own 4-wheeler but If I have to take a load there then so be it. Each city will be an experience once I get driving so maybe I'll get lucky and hit it befor or after rush hour. Probably not though. :biggrin_2559:

    I have lived in Houston my whole life except for some time in San Diego and 1 year in Tuscon and I understand how bad they drive here. BUT at least the freeways are marked. Now if you have to get off the highway good luck. But I will kiss a fat hogs ### to stay out of Dallas. I have never been there that roadwork is not going on. An they could at least buy some signs.

    I know its a very small city but I think Jackson Ms. is a toilet hole...who ever designed the highways thru Jackson should be drug tested...as they must have been high on something.
