    Dallas sucks due to traffic. Traffic is an inconvenience, not a real problem. Low bridges or other hazards in the Northeast are a problem.

    NYC is not as bad as Philly, Baltimore, Boston or Chicago. I would also put Pittsburg on the list, it has low bridges some narrow streets and also some extreme hills that can be a problem with a fully loaded truck.

    I spent a few weeks in Monrovia, Liberia.... I take what little I do have with a lot more respect, now. These people were extremely grateful that we would give them our EMPTY water bottles, and if there was any left in it, they were even more grateful.
    One of their higher-paid people was doing concrete work in moccasins.... Ended up giving him my steel toe boots because they were slightly uncomfortable to me.

    Almost my exact list! I really don't mind Chicago or NYC, pretty familiar with both. Substitute NYC for Baton Rouge, and that stupid bridge, maybe.
     
    ethos and Raezzor Thank this.

    Orlando would make my list but really the entire state seems hellbent on taking nationwide honors.

    Nashville didn't seem so bad. Psycho 4 wheelers but you get those most places.

    Yea as far as being truck "Unfriendly" Miami would be the hands down #1. They have that 1 little pay to park truckstop on 27, which is a rathole.

    That's true but most of these OTR companies don't have an I-Pass in their truck and I imagine many drivers don't want to spend $20+ on tolls only to wait a month to be reimbursed.

    7 days to pay for the windy cashboxes. As a company driver I kept track of my route and approx time in the area and used the ipass lanes then turned in the info with my bills. I didnt have to carry extra cash and my name wasnt on the registration or the side of the truck.
