It will drop down the list when you hit Seattle, Houston, Dallas, Chicago etc.

It already has. I was pressed for time, so I hated it really bad at the time. Chicago is my #1 spot, but yeah Houston and Dallas are insane. Especially all that construction in Dallas.
I am sure Michigan ranks up there as well, no cities really just in general the whole state for having some of the worst road around.
... and yes I live here and deal with it A LOT.
You should make your way up to the better Portland up here in Maine. Less people, less traffic and better scenery. Portland Oregon has nothing on us
Did I mention it's home to the lobster roll

I can picture that now... Kids and adults with sticks rolling lobster down the road. I would think the pros would have graduated to hockey sticks now.
My vote for bad would go to indiana, yea i hate Dallas and Chicago but the roads in indiana are really rough, and i swear they don't know what an overpass is, seams like every little town has at least 2 lights, and they are always red.

Hey now. Indiana is absolutely perfect. I should know, I'm from there.
If you go to Canada, maybe this will make your list. That's just the freeway bypassing Toronto, good luck on its roads, though most traffic ends up at DCs near the 401.
Starred near L.A. drive I-5 all the way up to Washington. Beautiful scenery, very thankful for an automatic through those mountains. Lol. And oh yeah, Portland jumped to my second most hated city list. Bumper to bumper traffic at 2pm, c'mon man...
If you did not have to deliver in downtown Portland OR, should always take I-205 around. Less headaches usually than trying to go straight through. A few more miles, but well worth it not having to put up with the downtown traffic.
I was born/raised up in that area. Still have lots of family all through that area.

DAC:
Drive-A-Check Report
A truck drivers DAC report will contain detailed information about their job history of the last 10 years as a CDL driver (as required by the DOT).
It may also contain your criminal history, drug test results, DOT infractions and accident history. The program is strictly voluntary from a company standpoint, but most of the medium-to-large carriers will participate.
Most trucking companies use DAC reports as part of their hiring and background check process. It is extremely important that drivers verify that the information contained in it is correct, and have it fixed if it's not.
