I once had to make a right turn in NYC, in my Classic, pulling 48' skateboard with a 10-1 spread. I'd already moved 2 lanes of traffic but there was a brand new Mercedes something or other double parked so that I still couldn't make the turn. A cop came up on horseback and told me to move along. I showed him the situation and his exact words were "run over it, you're blocking my intersection and it's illegally parked". I said "ok sir". I hated to do it but, I sent a beautiful car to the scrapyard that morning.

[@michaeld3919]

Mike Brown that’s so beautiful! The police out here are actually not against truckers and understand what we have to deal with everyday. I once took up the entire intersection of Madison Ave and 59th street (super busy intersection) because of the stupid double light system still in place in the center. I looked at the traffic officer and showed her the light, she looked at me, and we both shrugged hahaha. I didn’t do it on purpose. I have yet to have to clear a turn in that manner, but I know I will at some point. I’ve taken a turn from the oncoming traffic lane a few times because I have to and people slow down, honk, and get on with their day. Moral of the story: we have to be the boss when driving in NYC, and the police will actually help you out if you explain it to them rationally. Stay safe brother!

Many cities in the Northeast have an outdated infrastructure. Those streets were originally intended for 48’ trailers that were also narrower. The first time I took a 53’ through there I was carrying a hot load to a medical supply company, the location was so unbelievably tight that the nose of my tractor was sitting out in the street while they unloaded me. They had a few straight trucks docked on either side of me, I was the only large semi. Never going back, not worth the insurance risks or HOS burnt fighting traffic.

Property value is expensive and most of the land is already zoned. Outside the city in NYC is Westchester county, literally one of the most expensive places in the US for property, or Long Island which isn't much cheaper.

Hey man... Your video brought back so many memories... When you started out in the Hunts Point area of the Bronx and passed up the produce market on the right, I could only think about the times working with my Pop and older Brother on their trucks moving produce throughout the Bronx and upper Manhattan during many summers in the late 1970's to early '80's. I learned how to drive a truck then, and I can tell you that the city was probably crazier in those days if you could imagine. It was the times of the "Son of Sam" murders and when crack cocaine hit the streets. As you mentioned, no rules applied when driving. Double and triple parked cars were common. It was a frustrating nightmare trying to just do our job each and every day! After loading the trucks all morning, we left the market in Hunts Point and took basically the same route each day to start our deliveries. Jumped on the Bruckner then took the Cross Bronx Expressway towards the George Washington Bridge with inevitable daily traffic which what you experienced too. For my Pop, our usual first stop was the last exit right before you hit the GW Bridge at 181st Street. Then you had to deal with crazy traffic on the streets again and the typical NY attitude for the rest of the day with deliveries of the perishable produce. Many times the Thermo King refrigeration was broken. Pop's truck at the time was a GMC Brigadier with a Detroit turbo diesel straight job with ten wheels. I can remember one time in frustration, we were stuck on a one way street with a car parked in the middle so no way a truck could get by. After firing off the air horn for a few minutes and no response, he dropped the clutch and just "moved" the car out of the way. It felt like a small victory!! By the way, when that guy approached you for some money, back in the day his "buddy" would be at the back of your truck to see if he could open it up and grab what he could! Both my Pop and Brother carried fire arms (probably illegally) for protection. All I can say is that I learned more on that truck than at NYU!! I am now an eye doc for over 30 years, but appreciate what you truckers have to do! I am truly thankful for all your hard work and keeping America stocked especially during this COVID-19 crisis! Drive safely and thanks for the video!

I thought that area looked super familiar when that guy came up to the truck. I grew up right on the other side of that expressway. I don't think I even could handle driving a car there. I got my license at 25 yrs old in Florida. I went through 2 driving schools, too. 😂

[@shestudios]

Wow!!! Thank you for this video. I am a native New Yorker and could not imagine driving a truck anywhere through the 5-boroughs. Crazy dude, but amazing content.

[@BSE1320]

NYC, Newark Boston, Detroit, Chicago, LA, Philly, Baltimore... Drove in all of those places in a big truck. And every one of those cities was miserable to drive through.

[@tpryor6474]

Yes Chicago almost made me piss myself a few weeks ago smh I thought I’d lose my license up there

[@SteezyKenny]

Ayyy you passed right by my town when you got off the bridge into Jersey :D But yeah man it's hectic driving out here, I'm in and out of the city because my girlfriend lives there and navigating these highways are a struggle even in a regular passenger vehicle sometimes. Respect for you heavy loaders and drivers out there navigating through NYC boroughs, it ain't easy

[@TheSteelman66]

They Should Pay 5 Times The Rates To Go There.

[@jonathanlambert7464]

They should....and add to it that it COST 5 times the rate just to be there

[@TheSteelman66]

I Hear YA Brother, Its not a nice friendly place

[@eugenereinard7957]

I know you are driving, and doing a very good job of it in the situation you're in, but I'm a nervous wreck just watching. I bet you can't wait to get out of there, Good Luck

[@michaelrainerii3547]

Good job driver. Appreciate the video

[@ahmadm3084]

This is easy compared to driving in the Middle East as a truck driver lol... but great job driver!! Keep up the videos my friend

[@robbiemccown9359]

Great job man. Dont listen to anyone but your gut. Always gonna have customers and super truckers who say different. Keep it safe.

[@tomsteffs6511]

Great video, love the point of view footage showing the dash, the nose of the truck ,traffic ahead and your actions ( steering wheel movements/ your head movements to check your mirrors ) . NYC road infrastructure is truly comparable to a third world country.

[@ronaldcrane4665]

Thanks this was fun to watch I felt your anxiety LOL

[@gsup5]

Done that with a 53' flat bed a few times. DROVE ME INSANE!!!!!!

[@alecmcd552]

I've taken mirrors off, no regrets.

[@imthatguypal_]

If they're parked illegally and in an asshole manner, by all means yes, thank you! But if you do it just cause you're a truckdriver and you have a tank as a vehicle, then here 🖕🏼

[@eugenereinard7957]

Great Job, that took a lot of patience and skill,

[@tr3loc176]

Those 3 miles before the bridge are the worse no matter what time of day it seems, I've seen 3 different people begging for money in that same spot I feel they each do an 8 hour shift. As always good job. Edit: It feels they do work on the bridge all year long but never fill up the craters I guess the bridge only make enough for minimal repairs🤨

[@paulfianatravels]

Hate heavy traffic like that. I'd rather stay in the desert 🏜

[@travellivision7259]

You’d think with such a busy terminal like the hunts point,,, they would offer up some truck routing / signs. I’ve made that same corner onto the ramp, 10 years ago …. Won’t be back either .

[@feslerae]

Hey man! You survived! Proud of you!
