    Just wondering .. I had a load with jb hunt that I picked up on time and made it to delivery on time but they gave me the wrong address 3 times which left me circling New York . The receiver was using a different address to recieve the shipment which was in a residential neighborhood where it was illegal to drive a semi through. This is my dilemma. I called and emailed jbhunt on the issues and they were not responding. So I went home and held the load which screwed me from other loads . Now I have told them I’m willing to take the load back to the shipper and we can just call it quits because I have lost over $600 in tolls and fuel already ... they are demanding I take the load back to New York and they are not willing to pay me for another trip back to a imaginary address that isn’t even valid or legal for me to be taking a semi... kinda lost on what to do next

    Doubtful that you’re the first truck to that address. What does the customer say? I’m sure there is a way to get to the address, may even have to drive past a few houses. I’m sure they are used to it. I deliver 16’ wide by 100’ long loads to the back of a neighborhood all the time. They built the factory and then the houses came later as town expanded.

    If I had a dollar for every time I delivered some where in a no trucks zone I could buy pizza and beer for the whole forum....

    where is home? I would of been trying every number possible demanding to get ahold of someone before I went too far out of the way, did you call the customer?

    Don't know about NYC. But locally, you can be off the truck route, if you have a delivery on the non truck route, or the only way to your destination is that street.
