"You'll go 8.369 miles and right after you drive over that big crack in the pavement you'll go left. Look to your right and you'll see the black bird on the 3rd power line, then stay straight. Pass 23 houses and drive over the 19th pothole and you'll see the place at your 11:00 position"nredfor88, God prefers Diesels, Siinman and 9 others Thank this. -

FYI - there is a NYDOT GIS system where you can find the actual over/under clearance for any bridge in the state. Be on high speed internet when you use it. It's basically an interactive map of everything, and slings lots and lots of data every time you do anything. Zoom in, click on the bridge, and the pop up gives you the details. My original bookmarked link is broken (of course). This page gets you to the top level linking to all the NYDOT GIS systems, then drill down to see what you need to: GIS Applications
I don't as a rule do NYC, but the whole upstate is littered with low clearance RR overpasses. These GIS maps clear that up.

48 feet only.
It's published on line.
Queens Crap: Just a reminder: 53' trailers are ILLEGAL in NYC. -

I called ahead my receiver and let them know that I'm on time and I need their dock.
Arrived there, the dock was occupied with another truck unloading.
For 30 minutes I blocked a city street lane.
Couple people called the police.
By the time they showed up, I was at the dock.
I was informed about the NYC bylaw regarding the 53 feet trailers.
Fines were ranging from $90-$500 back then.
On Jan 2007. I talked my way of the fine and never went back.

Honestly I wouldn't have done that one if it weren't from greed. It was a multi stop that ran over New Years with a stop in MD, then Queens, then 2 more up around Albany. And an ice storm was forecasted but fortunately didn't create impossible conditions. Can't recall if it was an all-time high rate for me, or just a runner up. I'll go about anywhere that's not off-road or sprinkled with metal shards and broken glass, but it's gonna cost ya LOL.Siinman and Another Canadian driver Thank this. -
Binghamton too if you don't live around here like I do you can easily get yourself into troubleGod prefers Diesels, Boondock, Siinman and 5 others Thank this.
