    When I was on nights I carried a big crowbar when I delivered in the area. Didn't use it for the job but it was always in my hands. Few things happen and company refused to deliver at night anymore, daylight only.

    Washington DC is a No.
    To many Jerks.
    That’s the only place I’ll not go.

    I’ve done Philly quite a lot with tankers, didn’t bother me to bad.

    Chicago and NYC are the only places that fill me with dread.

    For those that despise NJ I can understand that, I used to hate it too, but the company I'm with now has a big contract that loads out of the port of Newark and I actually don't mind going there now. It's easy to get in and out of and I know where all the quiet streets are to sleep if my clock runs out.

    I always rather liked the southern half of NJ, south of 322 that is.

    And that's why I want no parts of food service. Those guys are underpaid IMHO.

    It's bad enough 2 wheeling boxes when you don't have to drag a trailer around New York.
