Long Island City, New York
We are in Long Island City, New York. We have a delivery for 08:00 tomorrow. We were dead headed to the West Memphis, Arkansas terminal and got a load to NY. We had a 317 mile DH to the terminal and then an 1137 mile load. I called my dispatch and requested that he get me a load out of here and not let me hang all day in NY. We will see what happens with that. It was quit difficult to get here. After finally getting to my destination I was in the wrong direction and the wrong side of the street. The area was not and area that I wanted to try to circle the block so what did I do….. a U Turn on a New York City 2 lane street. It had a couple of wide side walks and I used both. I slide my tandems all the way up, got on the side walk and cut sharp and made the turn in one try while traffic stopped and waited. It was kind of fun but not something that I would want to do everyday. Tomorrow I have to make it out of here. I hope to get dead headed out of the city for a pickup and that I don’t have to try to get to another location in the city. Getting here was a nightmare.
