First time pulling reefer

Welcome to owner operator trucking. It's ok to kick yourself and wonder what possessed you to go that route and leave the carefree world of company employee driving

 

I've been there. One of my first reefer loads. Neat place.

 

Indeed, they seem to have those caves all over the place... and some are certainly tighter than others, especially the ones where you're actually inside the cave backing around support poles.

 

I did local work for ACT and did a lot of driving in the Kansas City area Caves. The ones in Cartage are very roomy compared to the Kansas City stuff.

 

just did the caves in kansa city mo no problems i even turn around in there and got to my dock and back in like normally instead of right side backing

 

Yes Kraft in Springfield has caves, they have a drop yard right above the "Springfield underground." I've done Carthage, it's roomy at least the part I was in, I can see how it would mess with your head though.
The mirror is hiding the pillar in front of my truck, just had to turn a foot or two to the right to go around it.

 

Sounds like SubTropolis near Kansas City.
