Luckily no truck driver wants to go to NYC…
The time before the last time I went through New York City I didn’t have the cash to pay the toll to not be in New York so the toll booth attendant gave myself and another driver directions on how to get to a free bridge by taking city streets. Fun times were had.
And no, as TFA claims, 53’ trailers aren’t designed to be only used on highways. A lot of the places we end up weren’t designed with them in mind (because they’re old or whatever) but if you take your time and use a little caution it is quite possible to get it done without taking out a bunch of baby strollers.
If normal folks knew half the sketchy stuff I’ve gotten up to in a big truck over the years they’d be a little horrified and a lot impressed because you have to be pretty good at this to last — usually it’s around the one year mark people get overconfident and make some stupid mistake that costs them their job. There’s a reason a lot of companies won’t talk to you without a couple years experience.
Always nice to be appreciated by random bloggers though, gives my life meaning.
- smilespray 4y agoIs there a term for this phenomenon of becoming overconfident a certain period into learning a new thing, and being able to observe this as a spike in accidents and incidents? I feel it's a pretty universal thing.
