Lmackattack Posted June 1, 2012 Author Share Posted June 1, 2012 Well that was a fun Trip... dead headed out to Long Island Tuesday. Hit the G.W bridge at midnight and started lousing all my teeth from there to the L.I.E. Holy hell are those roads bad. They must pave them with the help of a compacter roller? got close to my destanation at 1 am and got a hotel. Next Morning I arrice where I had to blind side into a alley way with about 6" on either side of the truck. that took about 15 min and wore off about 4 years of clutch life. Loaded the 53' van by hand with no loading dock. did have 5 guys to help tho. one guy dropped a metal plate on his foot and had to be hauled out in an ambulance with a broken foot or ankel? He was hurt bad... Left there at 3pm and Headed to Thadddeus place near Queens N.Y. to pick up some stuff for Rob and Yep....made note to self, never ask a New Yorker if you can get a 65' truck down their street. if there is just 66' space it will go! LOL... I made it in but barely made it out. One way street cars double parked in a tight N.Y. neighborhood. Had to pay some guys to help load the stuff as it was heavy for 2 guys, one of them with a bum foot but we got it done quick. took out some tree limbs making a hard right hope they did not fall on any cars????Noticed every bridge in N.Y marked 12'6" ? Yet I made it under them all after coming to a complete stop and sticking my head out the window as a crawl under them slowly? Then off to N.J. to get my 12 speed. hit the L.I.E west bound under the Brooklyn Bridge and over the verrazaano narrows bridge to the NJTP. met some clown youngster container hauler in a Junk CH mack running up a incline in 2nd gear. For some reaseon he dident want me to pass in the far left lane. he tried to block the left 2 lanes so me and the trucks behind me could not pass him? State law says no trucks in the far left but Im just a Law braking Trucker.....Myself and another driver politely showed him over to the far right. Made it to NJ where I got my 12 Transmission and was heading home by 6PM.

storkmack Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Glad to that Trent was able to help a few people out moving parts around. I heard today that Mayor Tiny Dancer (Rahm), would like to see the Super Bowl in Chicago. All that means to me is that Trent did not follow through with my request. Thanks a bunch. -Brad Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/25277-empty-trailer-chicago-to-long-island/#findComment-122095 Share on other sites More sharing options...

85westernstar Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Interesting my dad parked 2 yards over from the place you loaded at. Canal in the back, block company next to you. Spent a lot of time down there as a kid.
