    West Side Foods is in Hunts Point
    the gps on Transam elog will take you the correct route

    Guru don't worry about NYC it is highly over rated in difficulty
    I was in worse places with Transam in Orlando Atlanta and Dallas

    Guru, TransAm is forced dispatch......as are most carriers....which means a company driver delivers where he is told to go. That being said a wise lease driver does too ....if you refuse to deliver to certain areas and places that a company has contracts to go to you aren't going to be making the money that you should be making.
    Our experience with swaps was that most of the swaps were done either because of logistics, (the load came out late, mechanical issues, or driver planning), or in order to get another driver home, since TA does guarantee home time for their drivers.
