Wanting to be a trucker

AT knows his stuff about Watkins-Shephard.



But he's still a screwball......

 

Lol

Lol

What do I say? I'm paying my frickin dues at swift, I'm leaving soon, got two offers on the table.

 

Tight streets, low underpasses, higher level of idiots per capita....

NYC is a very old city, and not built to accommodate today's big trucks and 53' trailers. And plenty of the areas truckers usually go to in NYC (like the Hunts Point markets) have a very bad, well deserved reputation for being dangerous to truckers, although from what I understand it's been cleaned up considerably.

I hate going to NYC these days because getting in and out of the city can eat up an entire 14 hour shift if you get stuck in traffic.

 

#5,#6,#7 are reasons why I'm leaving and also I'm getting 2000 miles weekly

Hasta la vista I will be an ex swifty

 

I don't much like any city anymore. Been doing this too long, and seen them all. I much prefer picking up and delivering in smaller communities. But I generally haul a flatbed, so I don't have the same issues as a van or reefer driver has to deal with.

Bear in mind, I started out pulling a van, and still do on occassion. Which is why I prefer my flatbeds....

 

Atlanta, Chicago, NYC, Detroit...they all suck. But the worst I've been in has got to be Pittsburgh!
