    For whatever it's worth, I used One 20 GPS, which so far it has identified truck routes as car routes, but not the opposite, yet.

    @Bean Jr. I've never heard of that. I'll have to check it out. I have an old Garmin truck GPS. I'd say it's accurate about 70% of the time so I always try to do my homework haha.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    Years ago I fell into the typical trap on the BQE on my first trip to the Island. I saw the sign saying "all trucks over 12'2" exit at Atlantic Ave". After finagling my way through Brooklyn and coming out in the Williamsburg neighborhood, that was enough for me.

    Well; personally I'd run down the deegan, grab the 3rd Ave bridge, stay right, stick a hard left down Lexington (that's a HARD left), at 100th swing a wide left and back across/or swing n blindside westbound across 100th against traffic. Prolly more effective if you did that bout 545/6am as after that the morning sun will blind the people behind you so they "don't realize" you're backing against traffic.



    Alternatively:

    3rd Ave bridge, bear left (ignore the signs on the overpasses, you're fine for height) follow 1 block and be in the left lane (both lanes turn right) to swing wide for 2nd Ave which is all southbound lanes.
    Follow to 96th street: turn right.
    Follow to Park Ave Northbound (the first one you come to) and swing across every lane you think you might need to get it in on Park Ave.
    Follow to 100th; stay against the wall on your left real close, prolly gonna have to overshoot 100th a hair, cut right, back up left, then go down 100th if no one is parked on the corners you be alright...

    hopefully. If there's cars to the corner (I'd be shocked if there isn't, even if your jobsite has the lane closed for construction) then... well, pretty much then you be looking to go up to 106th and bang a right, cut across to Lexington and either blindside it in across traffic or nose up the right way on 100th and back across against traffic.

    The rail line between park Ave n&s: I can't think of any underpass under it that isn't too low for a truck, and impossible to turn onto with a trailer anyway.

    Hey I did my time, many trips to Hunts Point Market, Harlem, Manhattan, Long Island, it's some one else's turn. OBTW No one warned me about Hunts Point Market and getting there back in the early 80s either.
