Yeah, but now how do we avoid Chicago?

I always run 2 lanes, I get a kick out of truck drivers who are afraid to run 2 lanes or go off the major interstates, sometimes you can save alot of time by taking a 2 lane road a few miles.

Tip get some cheap rope or twine just in case u have to drop a preloaded trl save you from havin to put on then take off your bungees..........

You can't... it's where all the freight is.
To be honest tho, i don't go "into " Chicago much myself. i pick most my loads south of there or Indiana. I've ran Chicago long enough to judge where most the places are that ship from in the city and I can't fit my truck into most of them.CAXPT Thanks this. -
Yeah, I know that's where a lot of freight is and I kind of got used to (avoiding) it but sometimes, you just can't.
I haven't been to all the places I'm sure, so I'll have to keep my guard up.
Incidentally, that Chicago Low Clearance thread about 79th Street you posted,? I did that once with a bobtail going to the Railroad yard, thought I was slick, till I got near the railyard and saw the sign for the bridge just before it...thank god I was bobtail...turning around would have been a pain.

Thanks, but I don't haul preloaded trailers. I don't have a headache rack. I lease my trailer and probably have half a ton of tarps, chains, binders, straps, and dunnage stored on my trailer. No way I'm moving all thaqt just to pick up a preloaded trailer.CAXPT Thanks this.

Preloaded trailers are a joke half the time anyway..CAXPT Thanks this.
