    I went from linehaul to city for a break... Worst year of my life. Go through your bills when you get your run. Most will be regular stops that shouldn't be an issue getting in and out of. If you see a persons name, it's a residential. Call them before going to make sure you can get to them. Trust the other drivers advise, ignore the dispatcher. Be more cautious if you have a long box... Dispatchers love sending them where they don't fit.

    best advise of all... If your not comfortable doing the delivery, don't do it! Don't know how many times I was given deliveries that never should have been on a trailer. Pups and long boxes trying to get shoehorned into 5 ton spots.
