New york city!

I like Chicago!

 

Atta girl....go get em tiger!

You drive your truck...and when you are comfortable with traffic...then go play Christine Columbus...discover America.....ON YOUR TERMS!!

 

I also like Chicago. As long as you watch for low bridges, you really cant get lost. Its a giant grid. Yeah, there is some traffic, and entirely too many toll booths, but otherwise, not bad.

 

SHHHHHHH...keep it quiet with that stuff...I got a rep to worry about you know!

 

chicago isnt bad--sometimes you gotta park on the sidewalk while you get loaded---so what--eventually you find your way out---parts of new jersey---i am not so fond of

 

Well don't want to make you mad.........we got a message months ago telling us Swift is!

Once again we get so many lies! BTW I'm not calling you a liar Shrek.

So what is the truth?

I have turned down a couple loads that either picked up or delivered up in that area of the bouroughs of NY, or around Newark. I've never been to our yard in Avenel NJ. I sat in Bordontown NJ sat the Petro for New Years. I got an offering to pick up in Elizabeth. I refused and told them I feared for my safety in that area. I got a question back asking, "You are in NJ now. How unsafe is it?" I was in a small town with cows and barns.

Most of Jersey is country and small towns.

I was not trained in those areas. Lots of streets and roads where a 102in wide 53ft trailer is illegal. Many streets in Baltimore have 3/4 ton limits on them. I do go into Baltimore, reluctantly. I drove over 2 miles in a very nasty area of B'more on a 3/4T street to get out of there. It was early in the evening. Most of the scum wasn't out on the street.

Bet the cops don't give a poot if you are lost, you are going to get a ticket! I don't need that crap on my record. I also don't feel like handing out the money for the fines.

I don't do the NE. Swift does have comfort zones. The NE isn't in mine.

I do take loads going out of my comfort zone. Send me to upstate NY in the peak of the snow storms? No problem! LA no problem! I can turn a truck around out there. Not as cramped.

I haven't been into the heart of Chicago where the low bridges are. I have been in one area where a friend told me I should have been "packing." I told my DM if they didn't get me loaded in time I was leaving. Shipper didn't have my product, had me parked in an alley.

All you chest beating, never driven a truck "wannabeez" and students really need to shut up and listen VS flappin your lips. I don't talk about things I don't know about. I come here to learn, and to help others.

And for a day cab driver to come on here and talk about going into those areas? Add a few feet to your tractor's wheel base and get back with me.

I wonder if there is a notation next to my truck number saying "won't go inside the 287 loop!"

I keep busy with plenty of runs. I don't need to go into those areas. Rumor is there is extra pay to work there. If there is? OTR drivers don't get it.

My mentor went to the Bronx and Brooklyn a few weeks ago. He also did some FedEx Newark runs. Swift had ended the Mac23. He got big time lost.

 

I don't think being "wannabeez" or a "student" has anything to with it in this particular case. It has to do with a NEW EMPLOYEE telling a NEW EMPLOYER what they're NOT going to do, knowing what the JOB entails when you apply for for it. It's not a good attitude to have.
