Cut a sunroof into the ceiling so that in the summertime you an add an extension to that massive shifter and have one that sticks clear up out the roof. Maybe put an American flag or something on it to whip in the wind.

I grew up in Upstate NY...did some trucking there before I came to MN and I was always told...NY height signs are a foot under actual, because they factor in Snow/Ice/Road Repaving...etc....Always throws out of state truckers off unless you've either been under it before safely, or you've heard through the grapevine. It's always been kinda silly if you ask me. Just post actual and take the guessing game out.

[@VchaosTheoryV]

This is epic to know. Thanks for the tip

I was laughed at when I told this in an orientation. By the orientation guy who by the way - once a truck driver.

[@yvonnelunsford1238]

Dang!! That is awesome info!

[@artrome]

I live in New Jersey and drove in New York many times. I was told when I first started driving trucks was that when in New York the yellow signs you are clear. If the signs are white do not go under you will not clear it.

[@kaloyannikolchev5482]

Then you go to Chicago and follow the same rule will make your truck a convertible because they forgot to change their signs after 15 repavements

[@eyesonthey]

I think you might need a longer shifter, it's not scraping the ceiling.

[@fearless6839]

Great videos for folks to see what truckers go through to get what people need and want in these economies. Thank you.

I drove my 95 379 in Brooklyn queens Manhattan for 20 years let's just say I don't miss it. However I learned to back my truck into spots people thought were impossible.

[@dopamine261]

Did you hit anything?

[@prosperity4444]

@@dopamine261 in my 20 years of driving i never hit anything the only accident I ever had was someone who crashed into me. The only time I ever broke something was on a blindside back my trailer door chain broke and I couldn't see it do it swung closed and got crushed but that was the only significant damage I ever did and that was when I was a newbie. Trust me everyone gets there bumps and bruises and if they say they haven't they are lying mistakes and accidents happen to the best of us.

[@jddiesel7409]

I couldn't quite tell if there was space when you had the hood up, but make sure your air cleaner cross over pipes are not rubbing the top rear edge of the valve cover and that they aren't getting cut by the sheet metal going out to the air cleaners. It was fairly common on those to rub through and start sucking dirt.

[@stevefish4153]

I remember going to Hunt Point and the Brooklyn Terminal Market twice a week out of Maine in the late 70's, surely don't miss it!

[@kellykonoske91]

Wait, you've never unloaded with a pallet jack and fork lift to the ground?! How long have you been trucking?! Todd the retired trucker.

[@sonnygotit]

The yellow signs allow you about an extra foot of clearance as opposed to the white signs, which are the exact height that is posted

[@jaredstencil2652]

In New York when they set the bridge height signs they are 12” higher than what the signs say to allow for ice build up in winters. It’s weird but that’s what they did.

[@tomcab19683]

Cool video. I go to the Bronx all the time. The signs for the bridges are a foot lower than what they say in New York. They Measure from the center of the hub up. So if a bridge says 12 six it’s really 13 six. If you look in the rand McNally it explains it in the back part of the book with all the DOT regulations

[@carlproia3582]

If a bridge height is posted with a yellow sign it is a foot taller than posted height. If its posted with a white sign it's the posted height.

[@larrymixer144]

Been off the road for a long time but used to run Chicago nearly every week after teaming to west coast every week. The yard was in S.E. Iowa always finished one man to Milwaukee, Chicago and points east. I remember being forced to give a man a ride about half way to Trenton from Elizabeth because he thought I was lost and insisted on helping me get to the interstate. I had been warned that there was a scam being done to drivers by helping them get out to the interstate but was directing them down dead end roads and then blocking them in the truck while they stole the load off the trailer. Always something new going on. Oh, I forgot to mention he was on the running board of the tractor all that way.lol

My understanding the yellow clearance signs are about 2' short and the white ones are a foot short....for sure pucker factor first time you see an 11' 6" sign on a "truck route" ....the hammer app does a pretty good job of keeping you from getting messed up in there but DO NOT get under the tram cause it'll say you can turn left or right but the support poles make it impossible so you wind up following the whole thing till you get dumped out by the synagogues

I drove many trucks and never had a gear shift other than what came from the factory, what am I missing? I can't see any advantage. Also, with an air ride seat in an air ride cab is the stretched frame worthwhile? You would be over length ln some States and Provences which cause you to park the trailer at the scales,
