    Certain parts of I70. Everything east of ohio and west of nevada. Chicago also sucks. As does eastern St. Louis. The dallas fort worth area is also a bad joke. Mempus is not great either. And denver south to pueblo is a joke as well.

    This here post is why I went to regional mid-west.

    Upper mid-west, so no east or west coast, no TX or southern stuff.
    Hard to find parking or shopping in those areas.
    The Chicago area was the most difficult because people are pretty crazy there and there are few options for parking.
    You need to plan ahead and not just wing it.

    Just about anywhere in NJ. I got lost in Rahway one night. That was sketchy. Jersey City had a big coal fired power plant. I delivered there a few times and had to sleep outside the gate one night. Never again..... Camden is lovely.

    Been to NYC a few times, delivered in Brooklyn, Queens and out on Long Island. None of those places were bad. The fear of going there was far worse than actually going there. Just gotta keep a sense of humor about it. Think about it. 7 million or so people crammed into a 20 mile radius. Yeah it's busy, but those that live there learned to deal with the unexpected. It's just another day in the concrete jungle to them

    What makes LA the worst, is that you usually have to deal with mountains right after a delivery or pick up in the city.

    And if there aren't a lot of guys wanting to go there, the money gets larger for those who will. Like ruining PNW in winter...

    I generally despise Memphis. I'm from there, I know how to get around watch my back and I know not to take a truck there but THRU Memphis on I-40 isn't bad, just don't stop between Germantown Road and about......Little Rock. Lol.

    Other than that I hate Chicago, Atlanta, South Florida, California, DFW, Wyoming I-80 all but 2 days of the year (and you never know which two) and every small town in PA that routes trucks right through towns that were designed for vehicles half the size.
     
    rgreider and Lonesome Thank this.
