I've gotten exactly one good load out of Buffalo. But the good news is it was around 3 weeks ago and it was very good. Maybe "Big B By The Sea" is making a comeback.
<it's good to have a dream>
And I will add a 3rd request to remove Buffalo, which is where I am now, and have never had a load out of here, as soon as my 10 hours is up I will DH back home to Ohio.
I just had my highest rate per mile load on Saturday from Buffalo. Leave it be. :thumbup:
In 14 years never had a load out of Harrisburg Pa nor Pittsburg
Put it on the Canadian expediters site instead.

This past weekend I had a Sunday 8PM pickup out of Pittsburgh, to Chicago. That's the only one I've ever had out of there.

Many good loads out of Pittsburgh,one as far as Las Vegas. It was a bank door. You have many companies in Pittsburgh. Bayer,PPG,Westinghouse,etc.

Pittsburgh had plenty of loads... just hate going there. Wrong turn will have you screwing the pooch. Same with Phili.

I'm not sure I believe her.

A semi. A wrong turn. A residential area. People with smartphone cameras. It wasn't pretty.
That's because you have either a strong manufacturing base or distribution base in those above mentioned cities.

I have to say in my short expediting career that I've been to several of these cities listed and in my sprinter haven't really had any problems with em. But I will say that although I've had several loads out of Columbus Ohio I hate driving there. Just doesn't suite me for some reason. The run in on now is out of Columbus and it's a decent load I just hated picking it up

Southern half of Mississippi has never been good for me. Dropped about 8-10 times down there and only one shorty out.

I agree no one likes to go to Pittsburgh,not in any size truck, many one ways,many narrow streets and no truck stops close by. If that is home you don't have much choice though.
