New york city!

I guess I'm finally getting to the point where I'm a crotchety old trucker. This no forced dispatch and being able to refuse loads to NYC is rediculous to me. "Back in my day" you went where you were dispatched. NYC is no different than any other city. It has this stigma because it is big, overpopulated, and old. If you look at it, it is the easiest city to find your way around. Just be patient, take your time, use common sense, and plan ahead and you'll be fine.

Too many so called truck drivers could never make it 10-20 years ago like those if us that had no say in where we went. Load to NYC, you went to NYC. I hated it, but I did it. And it made me a stronger driver. Because to drive in the city you have to be able to handle a truck, not just drive it.

Like I said, I guess I'm getting old and crotchety...

 

Ya its a scairy though. I dont like it but have been their many many times .I usually get HOME or a west coast out. Ive gotten more help from locals their than my last trip im Miami. All big citys su#$. But its what I do. Really its not all that bad

Click on the link from my previous post...it will take you right to it!

 

So.... YOU'RE the guy on the back of the DART trucks, eh?

 

Barcode, that's just not right....



Funny as h***, though.

 

I'd like to have a handful of vinyl clings made up... and stick 'em on unsuspecting DART driver's vans. That'd be a hoot!

 

First of all I am amazed how long these NYC thread go on and on and on--and all over TTR--I mean REALLY--
Now and I know I shouldn't I really do but I can't help myself--Biscuit while I do agree with you=--PLEASE--I mean really--35y/o driving for 13 years--old and crotchety--WTF--you wanna see old and crotchety--when some young'n like you comes up to us real old crotchety F***S and says well BACK IN THE DAY!
Sorry man--couldn't help it!~

 

Oh and by the way if anyone need any clarification--just go back to my original post few pages ago about NYC--or any of the other threads about NYC or Hunts Point--or most of the other places that everyone BS about--cause like I've said too many times 99%about what you hear about the big bad city is BS--and usually being spewed by someone who has never been--A city is a city is a city--part of the job--just roll with it!
