Anything and everything!
About the same, but on a larger and tighter scale.
Tons of them, best to ask before you shoot into an area. No way to put them all here.
Unlike the west, NY places a seperate "low" marker for snow daysYou'll figure it out. Good luck.
Yup lots of them, ask before you go. I've actually been asked to leave an area by the police. When I arrived too early.
Take lots of money..tons of tolls at every turn.
No 53 footers in the city. Of course, they don't bother you, until you hit something.

people park in no parking zones which makes it, so u can't make the turn. You load/unload at a dock next to a house and they raise hell b/c u are idling. not allowed to idle. low bridges. There are jughandles, some people are rude. traffic horrible. few truckstops. tolls,place looks dirty. having to wait on a load and no place to park. running out of drive time, and no place to park. turns are tight. In the winter you run over a heap of snow,it could have a fire hydrant or car under the snow.NJ is just as bad.

If NY is so bad how do they get anybody to deliver there?

When you're the company owner...you can make those kinds of decisions. As long as you work for the company...they will make them.

YEP, ALL BIG CITIES HAVE THERE PROBLEMS. THE ONLY THING THAT GETS ME ABOUT NYC IS THE COST OF TOLLS (CRAZY). GOOD LUCK AND SAFE DRIVING
Baack Thanks this. -
Boy you could not be more truthful... Although there is a way to get threw there and not pay a dime.. I know I did it and it was not fun... (and I guess it all would depend on exactly where you need to go) But i made it threw a few times without paying a dime.. not very easy and i don't suggest doing it... to many ways for you to make a mistake and or end up with the top of your truck ripped off...

Ah NY state sucks anyhow, we are one of the highest taxed states around, while they spend there time, pestering the Senecas for more Revenue !!!! I stay because my whole life is here!!!
I have been there twice, I have a cousin, that still lives there, there are some vey rough areas out there!!! My husband went there during training!!!!!!!!!! He said it was crazy out there!!!!!
American only truck crazy girl, cause nothing else will do!!!!!!!!!

What do they use all that tax money for? Are they paying Arabs to have kids?
In CA, Las Vegas, etc., the government uses the tax money to subsidize Mexicans and the Mexican invasion and occupation, in so many ways; hospital's having babies etc., schools babysitting them, police, prisons...Last edited: Sep 22, 2008

Because some drivers can, and git 'er done.
I thought UP-State was nice.
New York City and New Jersey areas were another story.
Having to drive the wrong way on streets, blind-side backing into tight docks, and sight-side backing into blind alleys
has a pretty high pucker factor.
Factor in impatient traffic waiting for a Big truck to get
outta their way, and that factor can be squared.
It takes a cool head and an ability to ignore the honkin' horns
and/or screamin' motorists.
I just look at it this way ..................
how many times have I waited for 4-wheelers?
I think it all balances out.
