Beside that driving in Philly is brutal, the people are brutal too. My friend used to do food service. One Monday, after The Giants beat The Eagles, he delivered to Philly. He had his Giants hat on. The reciever refused his delivery because of it, and he had to wake his boss up at 4:00 in the morning!
The owner called at 8:00 asking "where's my stuff!" (probably used the Philly phour letter word) My friend's boss told him "if your ph©®~ing receiver refuses the stuff, I'm not sending it out again today! You'll get your ph@©®ing stuff tomorrow, only this time don't ph#~°ing refuse it, dipstuff!" (I think he used Jersey four letters)
Can you experienced guys rank the 5 worst cities to drive through?

Lol.
I don't know those streets. I don't want to know them honestly. Time to do what most major metropolitan areas have done. Move the #### warehouses out of there. No need for this crap. -
Newark, Elizabeth NJ,
New York City, Baltimore u better know where your going or u can end up on a not so friendly restricted truck route. I tell new drivers that mapbook will save you headache's if you know how to trip plan correctlyRustyChops41 Thanks this. -
Not sure where you get Portland. Never driven a Class 8 there, but you can get literally anywhere in Portland within 20 minutes, any time of day. It takes exactly 20 minutes from your house to the end of your street, or 20 minutes from your house in North East, to Tigard. Literally no matter where you are going, it's 20 minutes.

NYC has improved.
Thus.
Houston, Chicago, Washington DC (And I was raised near there... I use either 15 or 301 to bypass most of my life where possible) and ... atlanta and Camden NJ.
Baltimore aint bad. Just be careful if you are hazmat and doubles. It's best you stay out of downtown all together. I guess the violence and road rage has to have increased for baltimore to be as bad as some of you put it. -
Portland... had a furniture delivery in downtown to a place Eduardo spent 20 mins before me trying to get his straight truck in the "dock". Skirting the parked cars on the opposite side of the street trying to get the trailer jacked around and a knucklehead on a bicycle decides to squeeze between me and the parked cars (down my right side), panics and starts beating on the side until I stop. I'm a pretty cool headed and non-confrontational person, but it took all I had to not come unglued on the guy.RedRover Thanks this.

New York City

Ok I'm sorry Atlanta dosen't make the list? Common lol, you can't really even drive through DC now

All cities are bad. Nashville is a little better since the 840 bypass is open ; at least the southern half is open. Still have to use Briley Parkway for the northern half, since the 840 northern half will probably never be completed. Yes, Atlanta is terrible and always a nightmare.757Trucker Thanks this.

Just drove through Chicago. Not bad at all, although it was 2 a.m. 0715 as I write this and no doubt it's a much different story. Don't care, I'm long gone.
