Yup. 400 pounds into the danger zone. Even the illustrious T1N Sprinter qualifies for the hammer of Albany, by a mere 50 lbs
It's a beautiful place to visit, but unfortunately New York is, in a lot of respects, a fascist state
Yep ... from Elizabethtown to Bowling Green was fun .... 55 mph construction zone ... trucks running 65 mph ... hard rain ... barely see white lines .. it was keep up with the Big Dogs and follow their tail lights or get off the road .... I ran with the Big Dogs .....
NYC has their own laws
105 units/50 van-sprinters within 50 miles of Akron, when did Akron become the new Detroiter?
That's the overflow from the Detroiter.

Well after following the big dogs for 378 miles in that mess, I called it a no go until it lightens up. Rest stop by the Tennessee River. One hour10 minutes later I was on my way. Big truck jack over all lanes in Tennessee at the 104. Had to get off and go around, another off in the ditch. I stopped following the big dogs when one of them thought the right emergency lane was a driving lane. Signs of a tornado on I 22, trees down on both sides. Bright and sunny now.
What????? Only 5 hours after we dropped off already loaded and headed to West Virginia!!!!
currently sitting in Manchester, Ct. delivered 130am and now im sitting sippin coffee, waiting for that first call. and fast? to respond to your akron comment, i been living in akron most my life and yes it most definitely seems to be a great freight area. i never have issue getting out, its getting back TO AKRON/HOME that is the issue, lol. seems when i leave i always move freight south, sw, east etc. with nothing sending me back upward with the occasional Illinois run is bout as close as i get, lol then most times DH home.
you no like the stooopid drivers, expensive gas or what?! lol!!! i dont come here often, first time here in 3 months.
That's the way we do it here, it all goes out and very little comes back. I normally don't venture to far out, so I'm home most nights,
short run kinda guy? i thought bout tryin to only take short runs but was unsure how my dispatch would feel concerning it, just to see how i would do in comparison to mix n matching big/small etc. i make VERY good money on short runs but seems their few far and in between.
Thats one thing i never before or now ... is worry about Van competion ( numbers) ... if i got freight out of that area before than i rolled the Dice ... not worth the headaches when your dispatch is Suppose to be finding you a load ....
PS .... waiting for the GM union break to finish so i can get loaded .... in Tn....
