    As soon as I learn a new short cut through that town, they throw up a road construction sign followed by Road Closed. Thinking they do it on purpose and there is a guy hiding around the corner who takes the sign down immediately after I turn away.

    Chicago Short cuts?????????????


    One time in Chicago........


    I was sitting at a customer....delivering........got a new load over the Qualcom.......customer sounded familiar although I'd never picked up there before.

    Ever had one of those things happen to you?????

    Finally get empty and get the bills signed....pull out and close the doors.....

    Look across the railroad tracks.......there's the "New" customer I'm supposed to load at.......right across the tracks......I wasn't going crazy after all.


    One problem though........It was 7 miles to the closest underpass for the tracks that was tall enough for the truck........14 miles total to go 150 yards as the crow flys..........


    I HATE CHICAGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    LOL talk the crow into flying through Mrs. O'Learys cow shed... it is #### interminabley stupid, that after soo many catastrophes, they never managed to come up with a workable development standard for that town.

    Takes the old NYC bowrie politics to a whole new level. You can still get a truck through Manhattan without half the concerns of even suburban Chicago.

    I think I was in the area as well.

    I had to deliver on the other side of an unmarked underpass. Only things I saw going through were flat head flat beds with low loads. Would not think of going through with a condo and full stacks. Had to drive a long way to get to a proper crossing.

    When backing in off the big street, traffic kept going behind me even onto the sidewalk while I backed into the dock.

    Hell yeah, I love that game... Crush-a-dumba$S

    The object of the game, is to put it in high range and pin as many stupid four-wheelers as you can against the loading dock.

    Gaaahhhh.

    Anyone ever been to that stupid cookie place north of Boston? Never failed, last drop on a 5 drop run from CA around Boston. Light industrial that shares a parking lot/truck well with adjacent storefront/executive office space. Painted parking spots 65' directly in front of the dock.

    Joy... I never have to go there again.
