I can't say much for the east. To me it's Utah. The biggest idiots. Texas and Arizona ties for second. Anything dumb to do. Utah does it.
Dave_in_AZ Thanks this. -
Minnesota especially minneapolis
VIDEODROME and bzinger Thank this. -
I can't say, I figured out at 22 look at a trucker Atlas, avoid red dots and squiggly lines. Really narrowed down my area lol.
By city I'm say
Dallas bar none hate it
Chicago is on its heels
Any where in IL or In is just a set up waiting to happen.
Atlanta always causes heartburn lolDave_in_AZ and bzinger Thank this. -
LindaPV, bzinger and Dave_in_AZ Thank this.

Seems like i here on the news every week about some company moving their headquarters to the DFW area. The housing market here is on fire. They can't build 'em fast enough. When people bid 20% ABOVE the asking price and still don't get it, that is bad for us owners who have been here forever. Tax rates are going up, but if you are not in the market to sell, you are on the losing side.
They no more get a widening project finished and then start talking about the next project to tear up what wasjust finished. Texas would be better served by building I-69 from Laredo to Shreveport and going west around Houston, than widening I-35.bigkev1115 and LindaPV Thank this. -
Seattle. It's not it's own state, but it wins for me.
I'll take Bay area or LA traffic any day over seattle. Seattle simply has the most absurdly oblivious individuals on the roads that I just can't deal with it. -
Depends on the time of day,.. lots and lots of areas with bad drivers.
La, SanDiego ranks right up there. Chicago , NYC, Hartford Ct, Boston Ma,.. oh yes,.. cant leave out my home state,.. I75 going through Ocala,.. or Orlando during a Disney special,.. cant leave Miami and the local natives out of the picture.
Texas,.. yeah,.. Anywhere between Houston and Dallas is always fun, cant leave El Paso out. Texarkana area,.. or Baton Rogue, La is a nice treat,.. if the smell doesnt get you the traffic will.
Cant forget Denver,.. love the smell of I25 in the morning.

The worst part of my week is the last 30 miles. I run down to Bryan Texas on Monday morning from Dallas and pick up my load. That afternoon I drive back through DFW on 35w. Under construction but no real issues. Head on up to Fargo, deliver and make a u turn for home. Thursday around noon'ish I hit the the split in Denton and 35E from there to the loop 12 is split is the worst most antiquated POS highway in the US. It's under construction and should have been updated back in the 90's. People are just idiots through there. In the three lane stretch from Lake Lewisville to 635 they won't let trucks use the left lane. Driving in the right lane isn't an option for obvious reasons. Sometimes I take 35w down to 114 but that has its own issues. I couldn't run a daycab around DFW, no way no how. But it's home.
