    No lift gate - roller conveyor. Store staff receives as driver tailgates.

    I ran local for 3 months last summer, NYC and north Jersey twice a day five days a week home every night and every weekend, running the city with 53's wasn't too bad but the 14 and 16 hour days, every day sucked. I couldn't wait to get back OTR.

    [/QUOTE]yessir Going to NYC with a 53 i do ny delivery it's though and im tired with these idiots four wheelers and sometimes i wish i could get out and slap them its not violence and sometimes i put my turn signal on to make a lane change no body can see it i had to blow my horn making noise in the city to get their attention, one of them pass me last night caught me off real close so i blow my horn then he brakes i was gonna ran over him for been stupid and i was less 10 fts behind him he took the next exit i got off the exit too because he pissed me off he ran and i was like sob[/QUOTE]


    DUDE - SERIOUSLY,,, YOU sound TOO TIRED AND FED UP with what you are doing! I strongly recommend you find "another" job away from there & take a BIG break before you "slip" & hit someone!!

    "I AM FROM NYC" and I WILL NOT go there!! (YES boys - I have been IN there several times BUT I avoid it every chance I get!) Besides - out here in America there are TOO MANY towns 'now' that have *untrained, psycho drivers* running around with a death wish to deal with without having to go where they live like 'sardines' & hate their world!!

    Peace, Shalom!
