POV: The most nerve-wracking delivery in downtown Chicago

Yesterday, I had an unforgettable and heart-pounding experience while delivering a load in downtown Chicago. Let me tell you, finding the location amidst the maze-like streets was a challenge in itself. But little did I know that the real thrill was yet to come.

As I arrived at the right location, I realized the docks were cunningly hidden under a bridge or tucked away beneath a tunnel. Maneuvering my semi-truck through the narrow streets felt like trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. Chicago streets definitely weren't designed with trucks in mind. I had to make wide turns, which seemed impossible at times.

Feeling trapped and out of options, I made the decision to call the authorities for assistance. I dialed 911, hoping they could help assess the situation and guide me out of this tight spot. Traffic came to a halt as we strategized for about 15 minutes to safely reverse the truck. The tension was palpable, and my nerves were on edge.

Eventually, we located the elusive dock, but the challenges weren't over yet. Every corner was tight, and I required an escort to navigate under the bridge. It was a humbling realization that no matter how skilled or experienced you are as a trucker, there are times when you genuinely need a helping hand to reach your destination.

Yesterday was a whirlwind of emotions. I was sweating, my nerves were frayed, but above all, my priority was delivering the load safely and soundly. No accidents, no unfortunate encounters with the bridge.
