Being from Nyc is like gladiator school for trucking. You have no idea how easy the job can be outside of nyc. If you cant make it there… everywhere else is a piece of cheesecake (chicago,ATL, LA, etc) Keep going brother salute🫡
damn I laughed my ass off at around 30:20 when he waited so long to make that right turn and then he sees that there are 3 big ass school busses parked there lmao
Speaking as a New Yorker, there are two problems: 1) You have to deal with pedestrians and bicyclists who aren’t paying attention. 2) There are so many roads that you can’t use. You can’t use anything that says “parkway”. You can’t use the FDR Drive. You can’t use the Brooklyn Bridge or Queensboro Bridge. Tunnels are also off limits. You constantly have to check for height and weight limits. The most direct route to a destination often has a truck restriction. The best thing to do is get a truck GPS.
@@SolarWraith Keep in mind that this is a densely populated city with old infrastructure. The parkways were built in the 1930's. They weren't designed to handle semi trucks. The Brooklyn Bridge was built in 1883. You just have to plan your route ahead of time. And if you happen to get on a road or bridge that you can't clear, put on your hazards and ask for help.
Ya truck gps when I was otr was worthless but that was 12 years ago. But if you know your way around the city it’s like driving in any city but I would say Boston is worse because roads just stop and pick back up so random places on the other side of the city
Living in NYC, this video just gave me so much respect for truckers. From now on ima make sure to always give you guys the right away, I’ll move traffic for you if I can lol.
@@DeanteHarris man sometimes u gotta be a lil less patient tho because when the cabbies be stoppin in ur way like that u gotta give em horn. if they get defensive let em cs they'll still move
I was born in Bayside (Queens) in March 2004, and grew up in Nassau County on Long Island since 2007. Never been a truck driver, but I agree with everything you said! Truck driving can be a pain especially with all these crazy drivers in New York City and Long Island.
Be more efficient; plan your route better before leaving; have your turns n intersections already in hand; use a satellite view n street view to make the correct plan; dont follow truck gps n then press re route, thats asking for bigggg problems.
Come on drivers I love driving New York New York is where you tighten up skills. It will show you where you need to master. When you find yourself 1 mile down a one way single lane road . That Most people in a 4 wheeler couldn’t manage to pull off. Just for you to get to the bottom of this hill to see a dead end sign. And you’re doing all of this in a sleeper connected to. 53 ft reefer. It teaches you to never go off the words of just one person, & why you need to triple check your directions even if you have to call the company directly
Just driving a regular 4 wheeler through New York has my anxiety through the roof, can’t imagine what it’s like driving a semi thru there but I’ll probably find out soon enough. My road test is this month
You got a lot patience bruh better than me. I would’ve honked at that black tesla driving mad slow while other truck was waiting for you to go. Stay safe b
I think one of the biggest problem is North America trucks are way too long and the trailers are long as well. Maybe they need to bring back cabovers to the North American market. The rest of the world drive cabovers and conventional trucks
Lmao my 2 freightliners are in the background of the intro 😂 shoutout Brentwood. Plastirun owns that whole lot. They just rent out parking to truckers.
I started with Schneider too, great starting company with good training and experience for new drivers but after a few months I got let go and luckily got accepted by a small company and I gotta say I like the smaller company better you definitely right about a relationship.
Trick is not to follow GPS exactly as it will guide the quickest shortest way, always follow the staightest most direct route with less turns through main roads not side streets or roads. I’m from NY The Bronx. Started my career driving trucks in NY now I live & continue it in North Florida as a local Equipment Hauler. 20 years under my belt now. Much respect and blessings!
Lmao ! Bruh they had the nerve to send me through downtown Brooklyn 🤣😁 where certain streets was life or death situations and forget the gps .. you’ll have to make the right decisions if not say bye bye to your CDL
I used to deliver in NYC There’s this one place in Long Island City where you had to back in the middle of a three-way intersection, and you have to do it before the light turns red I’m now currently trying to leave this job. They don’t make me go into NYC anymore, but I still touch New Jersey and Jersey is no New York by any stretch, but it’s not a cakewalk either at least not Newark /Jersey City
city should honestly take away some on street parking spots and turn them into dedicated loading zones. amount of trucks i see double parking blocking whole streets & bus lanes for deliveries is insane.
This city is only concerned about taking away street parking for ALL. The entire manhattan from 96th down is virtually 99% not parkable until 7 PM when all regulations universally end. If it ain’t metered it’s not allowed, period. AND they tow you here for simply parking illegal you don’t even have to be in front of a driveway or hydrant. Just 10 minutes over on your meter ticket? Tow. It’s nasty.
as someone who grew up in NYC and lives in charleston south carolina id love to see u driving around Charleston. the roads down here are pretty tight, about as tight as back up north lmaoo.
Salute to you, sir! I’ve done food service throughout San Francisco; Chipotle, McDonalds, KFC etc…. Only at night lol. I couldn’t do NY, no way. During the day? Nope!
Throw that airline lock in the trash. All some one have to do is disconnect that Red line put a quick release with a glad hand the trailer is gone. Invest into Enforcer locks. Get yourself Enforcer King Pin Lock 1111 For Trailers and Enforcer 1217 Adjustable Trailer Swing Door Lock
19:52 Oh come on! You 100% coulda made that turn, you even had space to pull over to the right before turning thanks to thouse orange whateverthefucks.
Driving a tractor trailer or any truck in NYC is not for the inexperienced impatient driver ,Manhatten Inside the Bronx,Brooklyn,Queens, and no parkways ,you're limited too where can fit,LOLgreat video 👍
Great video! Yeah the roads in NYC are tighter now cause of all the bike lanes. I have my CDL Class A but no work experience. Any advice as to what companies I should try to apply to cause the companies in NYC all want 1 year of driving experience?
“Who you blowin’ at, I know you ain’t blowin’ at me gang” 😂😂😂 too funny, but welcome to NYC .. downtown Brooklyn is bad, shit don’t go to Manhattan, even worse.
Bro on I95 it says that the trucks can’t drive on left lane, but sometimes I see trucks there like during heavy traffic. Like tons of trucks there. Whys that
You sound like you're from the Midwest, and my homie was like ahen you out herrre try to advoid going to certain states yeah unfortunately NEW YORK was one of the states he said

I love drive trucks in New York because it prove to me that I can drive very good I don't worry about tolls because am a company driver New York driving is the best can't drive good then New York driving is not for you I live in New York by the way so I love it any way
You were driving through street blocks you're not allowed in (Lol). Those streets are too tight and aren't made for trucks of the size you're operating. Also, NYC have some of the best drivers. I know this because I see them daily on the parkway racing through traffic without crashing
I hate how people think because they want to make money, it means they can be shihtheads on the road. Ubers and taxis, theyll stop and block traffic. And take their time, not rush. Then im supposed to feel bad for them when they complain about pay. Nah.

You couldn’t pay me enough money to drive in New York. In my opinion the worse place for truckers in the USA period.
The car drivers not paying attention are the biggest problem!!
Even with a truck GPS it's still a problem getting around in NYC.
