48' and 53' trailers do not belong doing p/d

40 stops, downtown chicago. No thank you! I'd be cryin in the corner of my sleeper, in a fetal position.

The daycab makes a big difference, though, too. But still. 40 stops!

 

Been to both for many years, and your wrong. Both are very tight. Learn how to drive and back. Thats where it becomes easy. The docks don't change. Overcome and make it happen.

 

YA I know they tryed to put 57 footers in Newfoundland but the DOT said no way.

A long time ago some told me they had 80 footers down in TX but I was thinking he was BS or is that really true.

 

West Coast does not necessarily mean anything. There's plenty of tight places in LA, Seattle, etc.

 

lived in chicago all my life and work local with 53' trailers it gets easy after a while and if you get scared look at your mirror in Big Letters it says G.O.A.L GET OUT AND LOOK

 

I usually do about 40-60 stops a day, usually about 30 stops in the morning with a 53" with roll door and the latter of my night with a 48" barn door. I feel it's the only way to make money! More freight = more money!

 

Yeah - I'm all about work the least amount of hours in a day and break the most profit. Some days I can work 6 hours and pull close to $1500 a day. I've almost perfected making money for doing nothing

 

#### straight!
east coast is a lot tighter than the west. And there is a crap lead of freight coming out of the north east
