    We know some of yous are absolutely amazed at our ability to back these things up...what yous don't know is all the times we had to back out of somewhere WE SHOULDN'T BE that gave us these fine skills.

    I’m a truck driver. If it’s called a parkway, it’s not for trucks. And it almost certainly has a ‘No trucks’ sign at the on ramp.

      @@TheIkeman74 dumbest reply ever. Low bridges are the number 1 thing to worry about. Use a proper truck GPS, and review your route before you go. That’s just being smart and professional.

      Had to call the cops to back me up once, he wanted to ticket me. I showed him that the only sign restricting trucks was AFTER you couldn't turn around. He held traffic and I was on my way.

      The truck gps are dumpster fires. Wish google would make one. They probably have enough street images and AI to do it right. Also Pennsylvania needs to call into whomever, because none of their updated truck route bs is on the gps.

    He wasn't forced to drive backwards. He didn't pay attention to the signs, and was smart enough to not hit any low bridges. Backing up a trailer isn't difficult especially when you gave the WHOLE road cleared for you. He was lucky.

    Maybe New Yorkers should realize low clearances don’t keep minorities from coming to your neighborhood. They don’t have to use a bus that just happens to be slightly too tall for the overpasses on your parkway. Just make all these limited access highways truck accessible already.
