That big Peterbuilt would be awful getting in and out of NY, Boston and Philly. I created gridlock in lower Manhattan in a three-axle 1-bunk Freightliner one afternoon in '78. Parking is so tight, everyone parks to the very end of the block, disallowing any big-rig to turn the corner to get back to the only bridge outta the Big Apple. The trailer simply won't cheat through the turn. My newby co-driver and I sat 3+ hours till 5PMish until workers started driving home, with our flashers on; cops kept asking if we could move...and we heard on the radio: "...and there is gridlock in lower Manhattan..."

When it comes to big rigs... size matters not luxury...

and all that gadgetry just means more downtime for repairs.
