Chicago

Getting ready to go into Chicago my for the first time. Wish me luck.

 

I got a call a few minutes ago from another driver that went in ahead of me. He told me there is a 12ft bridge on the route the customer provided. He gave me the route he took. I owe this guy.

 

Well, I made it and didn't hit anything. Go me. I was surprised to find a majority of the drivers were fairly courteous. I only had one problem with some popped-collar douche bag in an Escalade.

I was trying to make a really tight turn where somebody parked to close to the corner. I had to keep pulling forward and backing up to create more of an angle and "drag" my trailer around the corner. You know what I mean? Well, the guy pulled right up to my front bumper and every time I'd back up, he'd get closer until I had no room to pull forward anymore. So he's sitting there with this smug grin on his face so I set my breaks and gave him the "what now?" shrug. Apparently he was in more of hurry than me because he eventually flipped me the bird, backed up and turned around. I was a little disappointed; I wanted to try out the attitude adjustment feature on my winch bar.

Other than that, it was a good experience.

 

I think I'm good. Thanks though.
