    My dad said one time he was in Chicago and had to back up down an alleyway with cars on both sides and had to jackknife into the loading dock. He said it was snowing outside. By the time he had the trailer to the dock, he had both windows down and the AC blowing😂

    The everyday struggle of driving a long nose. They are incredibly gorgeous and there's nothing else like them going down the highway. But unless you drive one, you definitely don't know the everyday issue's of the area needed to make the turns. It's definitely a true art form of being able to turn 1 without hitting the corners. Driver of a 2016 Peterbilt 389 long nose.

    Pretty cool seeing that stainless on a company ride. I pulled into downtown windy and backed down between two skyscrapers too unload some rice off my 48 ft reefer. I dodged freaking fire escapes hanging down man! It was a 200 yard "zig and sag" afair. Plus only about a 15 foot wide alley! LoL. Outstanding.

    How ya doing Mr. Schmidt, man i'll tell you at the beginning of the video i was pumping my imaginary brakes the moment you went under that train bridge. I'm grateful that you explain things and give your perspective on how you'd handle the problems or situations that you come across but your correct on how you explain things. My two cents is knowing your equipment and it's limitations and about the mask.....if i had 5 dollars for every time I forgot to bring my mask with me, i'd be on a paid vacation in hawaii right about now. God bless stay safe and stay loaded. 🇺🇸

    I once had a guy pop out his truck at midnight to tell me my clearance while parking at a truck stop in Fairburn GA. I was following his instructions to keep going when I hear the sound of metal collide. Good thing I was going real slow, I winded up hitting the chrome cover of a drivers side smoke stack. Driver I hit was about to call the police when I persuaded him with $200.00 dollars to let it go. Lesson learned, DON'T TRUST ANYONE WHEN BACKING UP AT A TRUCK STOP, ALWAYS GET OFF AND LOOK!!!

    The first year of driving through Chicago and the other communities was hectic. THOSE bridges were very scary. I've seen too many trailers opened up like soup cans. I had a map showing low bridges. But, you STILL pucker, inching your way under a rusty set of steel girders. Ha ha ha 😂!

    I did 2yrs as a city driver in a daycab 53ft trailer. Spent my day backing up more then going forward at times? It was get out have a look and wonder how I am I going to get that trailer in there. I had fun! Everybody told me I was number one every day hahaha. Changed jobs and they wanted me to do OTR NO I'll do city. NO insurance does not let us hire guys like you to do city with out OTR. So drove a box truck and still had fun.
