Yep! Surprisingly, it took me only two pull ups too. Well, to be fair, I did reset because my first setup would have run me into the train dock, so I got closer to the building to give myself room to swing the tractor. But it really gave me a great lift succeeding in a difficult back. This was in Pallisades Park, NJ. After this I ran over to PA to pick up the stuff for NYC. Without this success, I'm not sure how I would have done in NYC. I'm glad this week is over, I'll be honest! 😂

Thats awesome Rob! Great job, it doesnt matter how many times you'd need to reset your setup or GOAL. The only thing you hit was the dock like you're supposed to. THAT is all that matters. Well done!

I have only done NYC once. I went to Brooklyn. I really didn’t mind it. The traffic getting out sucked, but.... overall wasn’t a bad experience.

I lived in Brooklyn for 2 years and drove in it with my 4 wheeler many times for 12 years. I hated the traffic, bad pavement and rude drivers. They say the smallest measurable period of time is the time it takes in NYC from the change of a red light to green and the time the driver behind you starts to honk the horn. That said, if I ever get to drive in NYC, I will take great delight in slowing down the crazies. Not that I would do anything spiteful, but I would take my time, be extra conservative, GOAL every 30 seconds and just to avoid trouble, I would tape down the middle finger on each hand.

I must admit though, New Yorkers will get the out of the way of a big rig. Just weave a little while you’re driving and leave your 4 ways on. Just keep a lost and confused look on your face. You will have a 10 feet of space around you constantly. Which is a lot in NYC, lol.

Dispatcher, Fleet Manager, Driver Manager

The primary person a driver communicates with at his/her company. A dispatcher can play many roles, depending on the company's structure. Dispatchers may assign freight, file requests for home time, relay messages between the driver and management, inform customer service of any delays, change appointment times, and report information to the load planners.
