Truck drivers on the popular social media site Reddit.com were asked which cities they dread driving through – and one Canadian city notorious for insurance fraud made the list.
Here are there top five responses that have been put together by Kevin Snobel for trucknews.com:
Gary, Ind.
If you type 'Gary, IN' into Google image search, the related searches at the top of the page include ghetto, slum, gangs, and haunted houses. That pretty much sums it up. -rat-a-tat-kat
I once stopped in Gary, Ind., at a Denny’s at around 4 a.m. Here’s a tip: Don’t do that. -mattgrande
Camden, N.J.
I’ll have a picnic on 8 Mile in Detroit before I get out of the car in Camden. -stosh2014
Blythe, Calif.
When I’m hauling racehorses I will NOT go through Blythe Calif. Once got rejected with nine Canadian racehorse broodmares in 105 degree heat because their International Health Certifications were signed in red ink instead of black. (Red was a Canadian requirement at the time. USDA preferred blue or black for USDA origin certs) He changed his tune when I demanded he call the state veterinarian. Boy was that vet mad! -Orthonut
Fontana, Calif.
First three exits off the interstate say NO TRUCKS get off at next exit and you end up in the left lane. The sign for the truck route is on the right side of the road hidden behind all the traffic. One block up the cop sits and writes no truck tickets all day long. Then you drive 300 miles to be there for the court date (and notice all the trucks in the parking lot), and that day is to set a date for court, not the actual trial. And then you find that the time to ask for a trial was the two hours before court started during the ask for a trail phase. If I had the last truckload of food and Fontana was starving, I would park the truck on the overpass and burn it to the ground. -rhekn
Brampton, Ont.
Brampton: literally the worst drivers in Canada. There is so much insurance fraud that Bramptonians pay the highest auto insurance premiums in North America. -fritzmongroid
