NYC is probably #1 on my list and everyone has hit the other major cities. ChickieMonster, if you take the 130 toll road in Georgetown, you'll avoid all the Austin area traffic. It ends about 20 miles east of San Antonio on 10.

I would LOVE to be able to take the toll road around Austin but unfortunately company policy says we can't unless under an extremely tight load.

My top 5

1. New York City

2. Washington DC

3. Atlanta/Dallas

4. Los Angeles

5. Chicago

Nothing can beat those list! Haha But I'm so used with Newyork and DC traffic. I don't mind going there. I HATE ATLANTA not because of the traffic but the never ending construction in 70!!! 🙄

They don't call Dallas the big "D" for nothing. I HATE that place.

My company doesn't pay tolls in Texas either. I've been told that particular toll can run you $65-75. Sometimes might be worth it...about the only times I've found I35 not bumper to bumper is a couple hours in early afternoon or after about 8:30-9:00 at night.

Wow that suckzzz! My company does pay all the tolls even if I deadhead I still use toll. Made it easy for us!

Deadhead:

To drive with an empty trailer. After delivering your load you will deadhead to a shipper to pick up your next load.
