This is a very easy question to answer. The last city you just left after a pickup/delivery.

Boston, Philly
homeskillet and Dumdriver Thank this. -
Philly. Never an easy trip into any part of philly. North east philly is about the easiset, but it still has its challenges. South Philly, center city, north Philly, manayunk, roxborough, and conshohocken is some of the most challenging driving you’ll ever experience

Brooklyn, Queens, North Bergen New Jersey. Don’t know how anything but a box truck gets into some places. One store I went to in Brooklyn had no dock at all just an alley, I helped unload an entire load down a wheeled ramp. Another place in jersey city my entire truck was blocking the street so I had to have it at 90 degrees to just slip a car through.

I used to go places where there are only box trucks. I would gently apply power to mash fences and push a few poles out of the ground and lean on the fence some more until there is room to jack into the dock sight side.
Never heard a word from the people gathered making bets on if I could fit or not.
Ive usually delivered or picked up in those places once. Considering the damage done, I am not usually back.Woodys and Woodchuck88 Thank this. -
As I look back on my time driving I think my worst places to pickup/deliver were most anywhere in the LA basin, Most anywhere along I 30 in Dallas, Northern NJ upward, Chicago and anywhere in South Florida. Anywhere else seemed OK in General.
x1Heavy Thanks this.
