    SOUTH NJ I don't mind. Anything north of the Atlantic City Expressway you can have.

    Never figured out why everybody makes a big deal about Cabbage. It's a freakin hill and we're professional drivers. Are there no hills back east? I guess driving in the west full time makes hills a normal thing.

    Its not the hill itself its the nasty fog and ice that makes it alot harder going down that hill.

    I mostly agree with you, but when things go bad on cabbage, they go very bad.

    A team for the company I worked with laid the truck on its side and the guard rail came in through the windshield on the driver side. I'll spare the gory details, but RIP driver.

    Yes there is hills out east but they are nothing compared to out west. The guys that run out east primarily think mont eagle and fancy gap are huge mountain ranges. Now to us west coast boys that gives us a great big laugh

    I was very humbled when I drove out west. I'm glad I did it, but never again if I can help it.
