    Yeah I totally agree on philly ther Pat. Jersey just plain sux if ya ask me, jug handled or not. I think it has something to do with it's close proximity to New York

    I'm just a newb with a few months experience but I have to go downtown Chicago every Monday morning (multiple drops) and it scares the hell out of me hearing there are worse places to drive than that war zone.:biggrin_2551:

    I hit Seattle during rush hour while trying to deliever a truck. Traffic was stop and go. That didn't bother me too much at all. Kansas City Missouri is the one that tops my list. If traffic is heavy good luch on hitting the correct interstate exchange. They do not post the signs far enough out to give you time to get to the correct lane, at least that is what I have experienced. Kansas City Missouri is the only City that I have a problem with that I have been to.

    My hat goes off to the McLane drivers that deliver in the city (Philadelphia). I've watched them back a truck into places I wouldn't attempt with my little Subaru. I'm convinced ya' gotta have nerves of steel to navigate a big truck in inner city traffic.

    Come on, the worst cities are Raleigh, Greensboro and Charlotte NC. I dread that area worse than Atlanta and New York at rush hour.

    my money is on Newark New Jersey and New Orleans. Its like trying to drive a semi in an apartment complex! Not only do you have to worry about the tight turn but you gotta worry about being robbed once you do stop, bad deal all the way round.
