    Don't hide from certain areas. Use them as a learning experience. The more your willing to do the more valuable you will be.

    In Salt Lake City trying to get a 34 hour restart in don't 100% need it but it will keep me from recapping. Since moving to this new company I have been learning more.

    Good to see you back Cranky.

    Problem is they don't pay anything more than your miles there. No extra payfor crossing the George Washington bridge. The bronx suck.

    You need to go in and out of major cities in the off hours. Hunts Point Terminal has parking.

    I concur this. Stick to truck routes and your golden (aka pay attention to the #### signs). Its not as bad as everyone says. Just went thru myself. The main thing is dont go during peak hours. Its a nice change of scenery and not a boring ride. Unlike the nothingness of a Nebraska, Wyoming, Dakota's etc.

    Yeps, since you can time it to make the drive in at off peak traffic hours, getting into the northeast cities is not bad. I enjoy driving around some of the big cities at 1 to 4am, looking at a sleeping giant. Coming back out is the problem. If you have to wait around for an afternoon pickup time, then you hit traffic coming back out. Once I get west of I-287, I let out a cheer for freedom!
