Worst City To Drive A Truck In?

I never drove thru NY city but the company paid extra if we ever had to. I think it was $200.

Where do you begin as most cities are a pain in the azz. Here are some of the cities that I have driven in.

1- Philadelphia, Pa.- Large city, tight streets, rush hour. 2- New York, NY- Heavy traffic, crazy drivers, tolls! 3- Chicago, Il.- Traffic and low underpass clearances. 4- Atlanta, Ga.- Just trying to get around the city on I-285 is next to impossible. 5- Boston, Ma.- Like most NE cities very tight streets, low bridge clearances, traffic. 6- Nashville, Tn.- Highway nightmare with I-65, I-40 and I-24 cluster and always under construction. 7- Los Angeles, Ca.- What can be said about the never ending traffic congestion.

Sorry to be so lengthy but I'm sure there are so many more but I'll let someone else have at it.

Yes, you can take I-278, the Brooklyn-Queens Expressway, all the way to its eastern end. Don't worry about those signs saying all trucks must exit at Atlantic Avenue. However, to reach the Triborough Bridge you're supposed to take the Astoria Boulevard exit, since trucks with more than three axles aren't allowed on the Grand Central Parkway. Astoria Boulevard is the frontage road next to the Grand Central, and after a few blocks you'll reenter the highway to get on the bridge. The signs are clear, so you shouldn't have much trouble.

Many thanks! I made it to my second stop in record time (according to one of the other drivers I talked to)! I also drove on the Fort Hamilton Pkwy, today, and saw other trucks there. There are a couple of other Parkways that the other drivers also use. It seems that there is no substitute for experience. No GPS is going to take anyone on my exact route, today, and yet everything turned out fine.

Glad it worked out and yes, you learned that some roads called Parkway aren't actually parkways at all. I'd agree there's no substitute for experience, but for future reference you can consult NYC DOT's parkway truck restrictions page
