Truck info for NYC.

My quoted response was directed at Hellraiser78. He refered to NYC as the armpitt of humanity. My reply was simply that there are worse places to live then NYC. That is why armpitt was in quotes.

Yup worse places to live--but not many that are as bad as NYC and as expensive LOL!

 

I just want all to know that the BQE (278 ) in NY City has an area where it says trucks over 13'6 exit here I want everyone to know you don't have to I run 13'6 there everyday you can go right to the Verrazano Bridge without e Ed getting off as if you do get off going west bound you will get lost if your not familiar with the area

 

That's true BUT the NYPD DOT division has been known to stake out that wide spot before the last sign and chase you down, ticket book in hand. I used to run under there with a 12' high tractor pulling oversize (long not high) BUT I had a permit - twice I've been stopped for going thru there until they saw the permit.

I'm sure you could fight the ticket in court based on National Interstate rules, but they (DOT) know most won't bother and just pay it.

FYI

 

I will be more careful, I appreciate that info , Thanks

You know most cities are ok if you know them, I used to live in Chi town and I have really no problem because I know what's coming around the corner but NYC no freakin way. You know someone could actually start a business by letting truck drivers ride along in a truck mapping routes and getting the feel of the pace and traffic. O/O might be worth thinking about if you live there, charge for say an 8 hour day x amount of dollars and show them the routes. Hmmm........

 

I'd rather deliver by foot than deal with those low bridges in N.Y

 

lol gotta love them low overpasses in NYC! The trick is that in NYC they measure from the hub up. Kind of silly really but that's the way it is. I grew up in the city area and once you learn your way around its not too bad. I would imagine that Chi town is just as bad but once you learn it, its not bad.

 

It's the learning that is the hard part

 

I agree. It did take me some time to learn my way around. County Atlas' were a big help for me. That was my GPS at that time!
