    Never been there, but from Google maps street view, there are signs showing that deliveries are in the parking area under the building. Looks high enough and there are no low clearance signs. You access the parking area from the north side near the intersection with W Taylor.

    Might be worth throwing on the flashers and blocking traffic for a few minutes while you run down the ramp and check it out. I have been to a few places that didn't look possible but there was just enough room under there.

    Slide the tandems up and think small. :D

    Yeah, I bet CO is looking good now even with pulling an all nighter. Hell, almost anywhere looks better than Chicago. I hate that place.

    On my way to Denver with my new trainee. Deliver tomorrow morning. Need to call in and question the parameters as to the hiring standards that are used to fill these seats, I want to thinks there's more to it than just fogging a mirror.

    Heartbeats in the seat, unfortunately you see the carnage out here anymore on the interstates, and following your GPS onto a ocean front board walk, all these companies care about is filling the seat. At least you can train him the right way.
