Worst places to haul in?

I've heard waay more complaints about Pittsburgh than any other city in the US. Personally never had to haul freight into Pittsburgh, but I've been in Chicago, NY, LA, and just about everywhere else you can stick a big truck. Chicago didn't seem any worse than the others. NY can suck due to bad directions and low clearances and crappy traffic.

 

Pittsburg can be somewhat of a PITA, but so can any city. When I was doing heavy haul for Lane, and we'd have road construction projects out in the sticks, maneuvering that thing around in these small towns could be every bit as bad as doing it within city limits. Rural roads can (and often are) just as bad as city streets. I recently took on fuel at the TA in Clayton, IN, for example, then shot north up IN39 to get to I74. Probably won't do that next time.

 

I'm a native New Yorker, by far the worst. Think about it- Borough pay$$ No NYC advertisements should say it all. Partly why I left NY to FL. No low clearences, moderate traffic and short skirts all year! NJ,Philly bad, Chicago, but as for interstate for me is WV. That zigzag mountain state is a challenge loaded heavy and winter time. WV by far is my worst experience trucking, no road is straight- check ur map, you'll get dizzy following the interstate sketch it's like my 4 yr old on her doodle pro/etch and sketch

 

Hands down - the NY Boroughs!

 

been there and done that exact stretch of IN 39.......hairpin curves and the road is pretty narrow.....i remember crossing that bridge in danville, in just praying that it holds

 

There has been alot of these threads on and off--and I find it interesting that I have never seen Philadelphia mentioned? While it is not NYC (where I run alot)it can be a real PITA--Personally I would take NYC anyday over most of Philly
Just my $.02

 

I have to say these would be my top 5 and not neccessarily in this order with explanation-
1. The 5 burroughs and GWB (plenty traffic, small docks, cars parked on every corner, trucking businesses on slant streets, small bridges etc.)
2. Most of Pennsylvania just because of the small streets and trying to race back to truckstops before nightfall.
3. Chicago because of the rush hours and the constant braking of other cars, not to mention getting cutoff alot.
4. L.A. (just for the idiot Cali laws and lack of adequate rest stops and the crazy DOT out there
And rounding out the list I'd leave open for my fellow forum members to fill in the __________ Have a safe and productive day!

 

Real talk I forgot all about WV, those back roads are murderous and come to think of it the roads were kinda like driving on a pretzel. Good call!
