    That's incredible .

    I grew up in that area but could not imagine driving a truck around there . Kudos to you guys/gals

    Have ever video recorded backing into tight spots like that ?

    Well, I don’t really run a van much at all so dock backing isnt my forte. Also i dont tend to take pics very often.
    Thanks for the compliment, but I would say that if I can do it, it can’t be that hard to do lol
     
    D.Tibbitt and Truckermania Thank this.

    Some of those alley docks on the streets across the Blvd from the airport can be a real pill. I worked for a company in Jersey for a couple years that ran air freight out of Newark and Kennedy and I mostly hated getting sent over there. The actual cargo terminals at JFK are not too fun to deal with either. Prepare to have your time wasted lol.
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.

    man that last sentence says it all-
    Lufthansa to me means double the rate. Ive wasted a whole shift there to have them tell me they couldn't find the biggest one of 5 pieces i was taking. It was 2x the size of a suburban!
    Ever body working there is under the impression that they matter more than anyone else in the world.
    “Well i loaded 2 of the 3 pieces; the other one is 5’ away, im going to take my hour lunch now”

    i miss nothing about the airport.

    These are the actual pics of where I was at. That’s the International I drive in the door ... it really wasn’t to bad the day I was there...

    Lufthansa was actually one of the better ones if I recall. It got worse than that. I'd get stuck at some of those places so late that the cross bronx would be wide open all the way back to the bridge!
