    The only city i would feel pretty comfortable in is Philly I was born there and grew up there. There are parts i would never go like north and west philly but i doubt many deliveries are going to those areas. Those are places where you get shot in the day time.

    As someone said already grow a set.

    If not check local listings in your area for nanny or care taker positions.

    Most of the industrial areas throughout the country aren't in the high class ends of town, therefor with your skin tone you better go hit the tanning bed or something. Smh

    I've been to every ghetto in Chicago. Never seriously feared for my life. Hell I was delivering to what had to have been a crack dealer. Nice guy. Has a crackhead cut his lawn while I was there for $5.

    If were allowed to have a gun in the truck I would have a .50 desert eagle. Not a gun for conceal carry obviously but i wouldn't be trying to hide it. Just the presence of that beast pointed at you would make you lose your soul.

    Meg. That's a nice gun and all but for my money I'd go with a Glock in .10mm Magnum. Enough for people in bear country so it's enough for me. Of course I'll use any excuse to buy another gun lol.

    Back when I used to get a lot of emails I got one from a friend one day about a thief who did the same thing, except he slipped off the step and when the driver got stopped, the trailer tandems were square on the would-be-thief's chest. Karma's a ##### I guess.

    Never had an issue in any crap neighborhood ever. Stop watching gangland. The overwhelming majority of the people in those neighborhoods could give a crap less about the skin color of the guy driving the truck down the street.

    Backwards racist rednecks speak for an extreme minority of white people, just as white hating gangster black people are an extreme minority of black people.

    I've been in Long Beach surrounded by Crips, no probs. The only people you need to be careful of as far as race issues are all the people running Black Lives Matter! Those are some white hating anarchists that have yet to blow! Aside from them I've actually run into more nice people in poor black neighborhoods than "nice" white ones every time.
