    were do i start. drive food service delivery.48 foot some times only 38 foot.
    nyc-pain in the ### been in bronx,brooklyn manhatten and surrounding areas all suck but doable .stopped at lincoln tunnel once just made it left air out of bags and went slow.very lucky
    DC- like yall said crowded and nobody helps you have to fight for position just like racing.lololol
    Phila-actually the easiest were i was anyway streets wide enough most places.
    been years since been in Dallas ,houston,Chicago or atlanta so cannot comment. my 2 cents.

    Reading your other posts, I think you should not park in that area.

    connecticut===the left lane is the slow lane on i95

    all of california, for the reasons listed

    east of boise idaho i84, those ruts in the road are truly hazardous

    70MPH, Lane ending, blinker on for over a mile, 2 four wheelers on the phone holdin' me over.. I edge my way in, pushed em over (safely).. had another driver go crazy, telling me what a rookie i was for makin' that move.

    I had a 40,000LB Coil loaded suicide, if he thought i was slammin' on my brakes for these ######## when i came to the end of my lane he was smokin' something.
