Nice @Faz
Glad to see you stayed off of the NO COMMERCIAL TRAFFIC parkways of the NYC area.
Many a box trailor has been sliced open like a sardine can on the low overpasses of the parkways.

Nice shot of the New Tappen Zee Bridge!

That was so bizarre. No fear and extremely dangerous especially that the lift operator was...100% incompetent..I was hoping not to be a witness to a case of human roadkill..

Future Darwin award winner there...

Oh man I spent a few years in Manhattan and had to drive a bit for work in all of the boroughs and I could not imagine having to navigate a tractor/trailer around those roads!

Reminds me of when I first got my truck license 20+ years ago and rocked up to my first gig driving a big rig. I had to drive the truck around the block a few times when I first got into a full size rig before being on the busy Sydney streets in peak hour. ( remember sitting there for 5-10 minutes whilst they finished loading thinking 🤬 )

Enjoy the slice of your life in these threads.
