    It looks like a apt building, what are you bringing? Are they setting up a crane on a side street?

    I'm still not sure at wich point I will enter White Plains Rd, and I guess they have the hight warnings at intersections on crossing streets, but not while running along. The best would probably be to go on the outside lane all the way, given that it will not be blocked from the point I enter till my destination. I just measured the load, it's 13'6" high dead even .

    It's a roofing insulation for renovation project at building #9. Not really sure where they want me, I will be calling them tomorrow.

    When you call them, ask them for a route in. If they are used to the city, they should have a opinion that you can bring here for 2nd thoughts

    In all likelihood it will be someone that is a foreman on site or salesman who answers the phone, unfortunately not usually someone that knows trucks.

    @Jacoooooooo where are you loading out of? Lotta times there's more than one trailer of that stuff going to the same jobsite.

    Go slow. Be prepared to be on site a lot earlier than your appt time so you have plenty of wiggle room if you have to circle a block looking for a alternative way to cross an intersection.

    Thanks. The trailer is already loaded. I didn't think about that too much while getting loaded. It was a busy place, also I didn't see anyone with northeast plates or taking the same stuff, so I didn't bother to ask. Yeah, it all sounds like it's going to be fun Tuesday for me.
