    I work for CR England so the directions they gave were completely useless (google maps is what they use), weekend so dispatcher and DM aren't in and Qualcomm GPS is crap... anybody know how to get here from 278 coming from Staten Island? I called Jetro and they had no idea on truck directions. 13' 6" reefer w/ sleeper cab. Google Street view is showing a ton of low bridges. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

    You can download a NYC truck map. What's the address?

    I found one of those but it wasn't really helpful. 566 Hamilton Ave, Brooklyn, NY

    3rd Ave is good, as is 4th Ave. You can run north to prospect Ave/ Hamilton Ave. Left onto Hamilton (you will see signs for 278 as well). Now you stay towards the right and you'll remain on Hamilton Ave. Then left by intersection for 15th Ave and left again to Hamilton Ave (you'll now be heading south) and looks like they will be on your right.

    I have never been there, buthe delivered to furniture stores in that area. No low bridges.

    I'm sure people on here have delivered there before so that may help better.

    No problem. I would check where they want you to deliver. One review said delivery was on 19th Street, which would be much easier getting to. Looks like docks are there as well. Good luck man!
     
    Timthyj Thanks this.

    Exit 21/ 3rd ave exit off I-278. 3rd is a local truck route that connects with Hamilton.

    I delivered there about 5 years ago and there was a low bridge going in on the truck route but you can get under it with a reefer .
    I think it was a pedestrian bridge .
    Parking on the street there , not a busy street and wide .
    Easy backing to the docks off the street and the people were decent , unloaded me quik .
     
    Crusader66 Thanks this.
