    Busy yes. Money is ok. Depends on runs. Doing 53 is all about long haul. I usually am the 300 mile guy. But i did some 140 150 mile ones. But im good overall.

    DEF trucks DO NOT like to idle, that's what the APU is for, not exclusively for overnight stays....

    Amen!
    If you must idle, it needs to be 1,000+ rpm

    NS 47th entrance is off of 47th.

    If your talking about the ####hole container attacking place, I believe it's a really really small entrance off of 47th Across from Morgan st. It's been 25 years since I've been there though.
