    would bringing a dog along be helpful? or is bulk/tank not a real dog friendly run?

    San Francisco has real crappy areas? Lol. Just kidding...but for me, the Tenderloin, Mission, SOMA, Hunter's Point, Bayview...walk in the park to some of the areas I've done back east. Hell, Oakland is WAY worse than SF. Never was in an area of SF that gave me pause for cause. I'll go anywhere in SF. I won't do parts of Oakland and years ago said never again to Baltimore or Detroit. Just not worth it to me. NYC, most areas...I'm good. Out of all, Baltimore gets my worst rap. Just my opinion.

    Yup I left Baltimore 6 years ago. Family is still there tho. Driving a truck, you don't exactly go the 'nicest' places unless your in food service delivering to a country club :)

    Safety is in the mind of the beholder it all depends on where your parking your truck at the end of your shift.

    Reminds me of General Mills in Cedar Rapids, IA. Only us tanker yankers were allowed to stay overnight.
