    More info.

    The downloadable version says new 2011/12 version but the order form still says 2010. I emailed them but no response. So I ordered more anyway last week and will let you know if it's just a typo or if they have not actually printed the new ones yet.

    Most important thing to do is remain calm and stop moving forward if u are uncertain about bridges or the road ahead...Being from NY, not only are the street sign hard to understand for new yorkers, being in a panic and driving a big rig only makes things tougher....I see this easily about once a month....trucks jamming themselves under overpasses...

    Yeah and stay off the parkways, i always hear about an "unauthorized" tractor trailer being uncorked from a 9'7" overpass.

    I have XM in my truck. I listen to NYC traffic all the time, just for grins. And every couple of days or so, without fail, I hear the words "Parkway" and "unauthorized tractor-trailer."

    Don't some of these people know parkways are restricted in New York State?

    I think there is a non-significant portion of the driver workforce who cannot read.

    In NY there are a few roads labeled "Parkway" that are legal for trucks. To get to where I work you have to take the "William Floyd Parkway". Not a typical NY parkway, no low bridges. Drivers call all the time screaming about how there not going to get on a parkway to make the delivery its pretty funny!
