The boss would have a candy jar of West Coast Turnarounds on his desk.
Hunts Point was a regular hangout for years. Rube's Truck Stop in Jersey City, too. We used to get Mob loads from Rube going back to the midwest. Paid better and in cash. We hauled Mob cheese out of WI to the dirty side. I delivered to one Social Club in Brooklyn...treated me good . Then the Capo asked for a " favor" ....needed three pallets moved upstate. I hesitated and he daid " sorry...its already on your truck. Paid me $300.... More than I made in a week back then.
If you watch the movie Bronx Tale it pretty much sums up my first two years running east. We were mobbed up and their hijacked and other dubious freight kept 25 truck running steady.
