Loaded from home on monday. Rolled down through harlem and manhattan on city streets and made it out to the island. A lot of drivers won't go, guess they're scared. I love it! Attachments:

Used to run all five boros, and the island on a flat, for verizon contracts, did it for almost three years. I wouldn't mind it today, but I'd sure as hell be taking more toll money....

Got the ezpass after peak hours toll on the GW of $55 versus $75. Ran through the city to avoid other bridges. Came out for another $35. So I went in and out for $90

It just goes with the territory, from where Top & I are originally from, 90% of the companies, all do nothing but Jersey and north. Got to frikken move to get a different job!

O/O. I got my cdl through Schneider in august of 2005. got the truck brand new in Feb of 2007. paid it off march 2012. Left Schneider 3/30/12 for Mercer. pulled a mercer elase flat for like 3 months until I decided to go buy a stepdeck. I love it. There are fleet owners here with trucks, so you technically don't have to own one here. haha

Dayem. Even I had to do a double take. That's close enough. The only real difference is what outlaw pointed out. That trailer is a 7 car cottrell e-z load. I would kill for one of those. Its the caddy of car haulers. In comparison my wally-mo is a pinto

I see that. He doesn't need them though. The fenders keep (most) of the rain, and road debris, off the first car on the bottom. known as the belly deck. If you look at the one in the pic his belly deck has a wall infront of the car, to keep the road out lol. the downside to that is you lose 3 feet of precious cargo room. Without that backing plate he wouldve been able to back the white car on the bottom up more. and lowered the top deck more. looks like that juke's about 14' lol! and good lordy! straps. I hate straps. hit a bump, and that car goes from 14' to 14'6. not to mention the whole trucks "bobs" lol Then again...... I've gone down the road 14'2, with 7 feet of overhang. ;D hehe watch that turn driver! www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=431279083592855&l=5151677762489970231
