Definitely stay off Parkways.....NYC, Brooklyn, Queens, Long Island. If the State Police don't stop you first, the low bridges will knock the top off your truck. Highest in center gradually sloping down to the sides. Only made for cars and passenger vans. No pickup trucks either. No Commercial Traffic allowed....pickups and vans without rear windows are commercial vehicles in NY.

Several problems with the comments on this thread:

If them wheels arent rolling ya aint making $$$

If you're wheels are turning just to be turning, you're not making any money either!

Keep turning downs, and see how much cheaper you will work for when the mortgage come due. Never ever turn down a load.

Take anything and you won't have the mortgage money anyway!

And last of all...How come this poll question doesn't list "rates not high enough" as one of the reasons? It should be at the top of the list.

We turn down freight frequently due to the rates. Always seem to come up with something better if we hold out. If you don't think it's available, see what some of the big carriers profits increased this year. The rates are out there, you just need to demand a piece of them.

I only turn down a load when I am running out of hours or when I am sick. If the load is crapy I get sick real fast. Never did it to often but when I needed to.
