nyc opinion anyone???

I would hope that they would not send a green driver in there.

 

main thing: dont be in a hurryyou arnt getting anywhere fast

good directions are a huge help

go in with a good attiude , dont go in being mad, cause yourll blow a gasket by the time you get in the city

and 48fts in the city

 

Well I consider all cites about the same..
What you will notice in NY besides the traffic...

1.Very tight streets... Make a wrong turn or miss a turn it may be over an hour before you get back to that spot...

2. Bridges
The height posted on bridges are very messed up.. example you will see a sign that says 12.8 but you can fit a 13.6 under it.. I have been told by some local drivers that the 12.8 is when a subway train is going over it..
That sucks becuase at times you can't tell if there is one going over it or not...
Others are posted wrong just becuase NY is to cheap to replace them..

Bridge tolls are just ridiculous.... I hope you have EZpass..

3. Tolls well I just touched on that but it can get expensive...


4. CB crazies
Well you get this about everywhere you go but in NY you have several morons sitting at home pushing a few 1000 watts.. They are so dang annoying at times... You been there you know what I mean..
One name everybody knows is Space Cowboy..



Is it as bad? Ah not really in my opinion.. I personally have no issues go9ing anywhere in the US or Canada... Mexico? no thank you I like my life and don't want to risk it if you know what am saying...

Everybody says people in NY are jerks.. I have never had a issue at a shipper or receive in NY.. Sure they all have attitudes just about but I think that is just thier culture... Just act like they are your friend and you will get in and out....

 

New York isn't quite a crime ridden as it used to be.

The city isn't bad... well not if you go in with a 20 foot trailer like thay ran when all those allies and docks were built!!!

 

NYC isn't that bad if you are used to it.

It can be quite intimidating for the first timer though.

Take your time, make sure you have directions, make sure you follow them.

You'll notice the bridge height signs are in 2 colors (if you pay attention)
White signs are "safe" indicators for periods of snow. 12'6" white sign equals 13'6" clearance on clean streets.

If the sign is yellow (generally 13'6" or more) it's safe year round...MAYBE !

You have to be careful of arched bridges, watch for them. They may be 15 foot down the center, and 12 foot on the curb lane.

I wouldn't spend the night in ANY burrough. I've actually been asked to leave by the police in some areas, then return in day time.

While there is a length restriction (48 ft), it is rarely enforced. Usually it happens when you have an accident.

Tolls are HIGH...really high. You'll need EZPass or lots of cash. You can cut some expenses by going in the bottom, and coming out the top.
