Are you a terminal rat ? 
Sorry, couldn't help it. No offense implied
Terminal:
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.

Out of route, (delivering on Long Island) I like the sights, and didn't know about "zee bridge"
My PSD instructor told me he takes all his students over "a certain bridge" their first couple days with their permit. when he said the GW, i told him to forget it. i dont drive over it with my car, and certainly wont with a semi. "But my last studemt did it."
his last studemt was 23 and from CA I was 41 and from NJ, i know that bridge. screw that. i told him id park the truck on it and walk home. then he got us a load out of CT ....uh...yeah right. i didnt follow the GPS and went over the Tappen Zee. he told me i was supposed to follow the GPS. i reminded him the GPS is a tool and doing what is safe is always best.

I love how the underpasses in the Bronx have 12'8 clearance in the on ramp lane. Coming back to NJ from L.I. I was getting onto 495, and only after 1/2 way through the 90 degree ramp, is there a sign showing a 12'8 clearance. Luckily it wasn't rush hour, and I was able to easily get into the middle lane.

Gotta give it up to Banks. Did a basic search & found that cheating the toll booth is a huge thing. Drivers are getting arrested, racking up $6K in unpaid tolls. I know things are hard but I don’t think risking jail time is worth the effort!

No. I agree with Banks in his assessment. Port authority doesn’t care about HUT stickers on the GWB...it’s more likely they randomly check plate numbers in the system just to make sure they match vehicle.
I wouldn’t worry too much about it.
