    I was upstate one time and the bridge was marked 12'4". Then underneath it was marked 13'6" actual.

    Why not mark it correctly indeed!

    Here you go.

    Google Maps

    You can back out of this street view into a overall map view.

    I hope your address is correct for delivery, it would be easier to cross check with a customer's facility business name to verify that street as delivery.

    Your day cab will be a advantage, but that 48 footer will not fit on that 100th street with them cars in the way parked.

    I suggest you look around and cross check your customer's business name and directions with someone there who knows you are coming.

    You should call the receiver and specifically ask them the best route in from the highway. Then check that route against your atlas. Then write it down and have it ready and make the trip in. You should have no issues in a 48ft and a day cab as this is what the city was designed for its the sleepers and the 53ft trucks the city wasn’t designed for

    It's ok with a sleeper and 53, just need to be more careful with that extra 5 feet of trailer and it's not that much more than a 48 footer.

    One of the last runs we gone into that city involved Hunts Point and on the route we use there is a set of Elevated tracks for trains overhead. In the street are two sets of green iron poles. This is the offset exercise at 30 mph. If you did not know they exist and what you have to do to go through them there might be a problem.

    Ive gone into NYC so much with a big truck, pretty much all my life and consider myself pretty lucky to have gotten away with it. Even in the bad old days when people got onto my catwalk back there and tried to disconnect the red air line to the trailer. A heavy J turn will scrape em off. They usually howl bad words back at me as I drive away. That let me know I did not kill em. Just bounced em a little bit back then.
