Easy or hard? Big cities.

What cities do you consider easy or hard to navigate through?

Personally, I find St Louis to be a breeze. Kansas City can get me twisted up if I’m not really careful.

If I have to drive through Dallas on an east/west route, I take the I-20 instead of the I-30, even if it adds 15 miles. The I-30 goes through downtown Dallas, and has some difficult transitions, even just to stay on I-30. The I-20 goes through the southern reaches of Dallas, and is not nearly as bad. We also have a terminal off the 20, in case I need something.

My least favored three are Dallas, Boston, and Buffalo, NY.

I don't do NYC any longer, so it's not on my list.

YRC in more trouble

I have a feeling the government will bail them out again since it involves unions.

Instant pot

Mine doesn’t have the pressure cooker function, but many do. If you want that function, be sure to read the label. I have never boiled eggs, but have cooked pasta in boiling water of the steam function.

Instant pot

I have a multi cooker, which is like an instant pot, just a different brand. I use it to cook rice and stews. I have also cooked pasta in it. I use the sauté function to brown meat for the stew, and have also used it for sloppy joe. It’s a nice appliance to have on a truck.

The larger the city, the smaller the truck stops are and vice versa

Sport stadiums bring in tens of millions a year, truck stops bring in dirty trucks and drivers that trash every lot they are in.

Just look at pretty much every truck stop and it is no wonder people don't want them in their neighborhood.

I do agree there needs to be more truck parking, but truck drivers are their own worse enemy when it comes to that. They trash a lot of places that used to allow it then act outraged when they aren't allowed back.

I parked at a McDonalds last night that was gracious enough to allow overnight parking. Sure enough, some dirty driver had thrown out his food bag onto the parking lot when there was a trash can 50 feet away. I picked it up and threw it away.

It doesn’t have to be real truck stops. Just pave or gravel some vacant land and allow truck parking. They could build them cheaper on the outskirts of towns. Many of us prefer to park on the outskirts.
