Well, ok. It sure didnt look like much in my mirror.
I actually scraped the bridge where Saw Mill Pkwy goes over Ashburton Rd near the end of the rd. It was tall enough but the road was at a 45 degree grade..
And you wouldnt have gone under THAT one with a car hauler. that road ends at a T, one way has a 10'10 bridge and the other way has a shipper, and a bus yard.

I'm sure glad I don't have to worry about bridges in NYC and suburbs. It sure helps being born there and learning the roads/bridges from my time working for my families produce company in Hunts Point. Now don't take this the wrong way, I truly feel for anyone that has to get on the job training in this zoo!

I learned a whole new way to drive on my trips up there. That's my first time i ever got off the highway in well....the sixth borough.
i still havent gotten off the highway other than taken the major deegan expressway to the gw bridge in NYC yet. I cant imagine it being too much worse than yonkers. Where I was was just about 2 miles from the bronx.
been to Kearny, Newark, Jersey City before though. And ughhh, the Newark airport, which is basically a city unto itself...i was team driving back then, my codriver was at the wheel and got lost at that place. LOL. -
I will agree with you on it being tight over in Yonkers. I usually try to get in there before 5am so I can make the turn onto the side road where I go off of Saw Mill Rd.

Yonkers is such a 'special' place, full of corruption, mob, infrastructure neglect and poor layout. I'm amazed there were any buisnesses left to ship too.
(hmmm satilite dishes eh? People can't pay rent or get a job in that town, but they can go though a truck load of satilite dishes. Think about it)
Yes I've lived/worked there.
I can't imagine the hills in a loaded 18. Oh and the bus drivers are a bunch of spoiled MTA union brats. Let em sit.
