Can a trucking company force you to drive into NYC ?

I just don't like how safety departments tell you to always run legal and will crucify you if you get a ticket for being over on your weight or kingpin to tandem length but look the other way when it comes to the prohibition on 53 foot trailers in NYC.

 

I'm actually surprise they don't pay more now a days when crossing the GW bridge into NYC? Back in 2001 the Linehaul OTR company I worked for paid $100 back then I would of thought it was more now a days considering how much drivers hated the drive traffic there back then.

 

If you want no NYC go to a company that goes west coast only there are regionals I never went to NYC with swift my DM understood that never once did you even have that as an option for my runs and I did strictly east of the Mississippi until it was time for home time which was in Dallas. I am not pro swift there are better options terms pay and just about everything else just gotta know what you really need for that you don't even need go OTR to start your career in you can start local in most big towns.

The ones who have harvest like for cotton or grapes, or oranges or whatever you can get good pay because during the harvest they will look for any and all drivers and even get all the leased trucks in the area just so they can get it done most don't have a CDL either they just looking for bodies really.

 

The Google reviews on Dutch Maid are mostly positive.

 

Congratulations on the new job. When going to NYC make sure to plan your route before you start your trip. Use Google Earth/Maps to see where you are going. Stay off of Parkways! Pay attention, keep your head on a swivel. You will be fine

 

That's good advice. If you're passing through NYC, do it when it's dark and late. If its Hunt's Point, that's easy.
