- SubTropolis is 5 miilion-sq ft, 1100-acre of limestone man-made caverns that was mined 50 some years ago and is now utilized as a commercial warehousing underground storage area in Kansas City, MO.
SubTropolis lay 160' beneath well known tourist attactions Worlds of Fun & Oceans of Fun, and has a network of approximately 7 miles of roadway and several miles of railway running through its' maze of intersecting tunnels & limestone pillars.
I never knew this place existed, but it claims to be the world's largest underground storage facility.
Parking for big trucks leaves a bit to be desired however, in my humble opinion. ;)
I went to Cave 8800 and pillar 110 this morning, just 100 feet away from where you shot this. The video doesn't do justice to how tight and difficult it is to take 70 ft. of tractor & trailer into this place and wiggle it into a dock without hitting anything. There's a reason we're called professional drivers! Good job and thanks for sharing this video. I just sent it to my wife and said, "THIS is what I actually do for a living!" :-)
I know this was filmed year's ago. Gee's you did well. I have been watching your videos and really enjoying them. Thankyou 👋
I had delivered a load here many years ago. I was very glad to see a man guide me into the dock. It was very interesting.
I was more nervous leaving. But glad to be out of there.
Man! That's got to be a freaking nightmare for them Swift drivers..... 😆
They should have you drop the trailer outside and use a yard tractor to take it inside.
One of the best trucker videos for sure!
w0w Thanx Nora, but it probably is not deserving of that kind of praise!!! This job takes me places I would never go under normal circumstances, and that's kind of the fun part I suppose!! You never know what challenge lay ahead .. until you are faced with it,
geeez that's roomy, I liked the one for blue diamond where you had to start the trailer into the hole, dolly down, unhood, back around the salt piller hook back up and push it into the dook
Your front bumper is in far greater shape that I thought haha I thought I heard a light scrape on one of those turns. Thank goodness for plastic bumpers haha.
Here's to you not having to go there again! *takes a drink*
I made deliveries here in the late 90s. It’s harder than this hand (driver) makes it look. He’s really good. I remember the frustration and a lot of cursing. No incidents, I still am amazed. Security seemed tighter unless that was edited out. Great video thanks for the butt clenching memories! Blind side, also ...no spotters..
Heard about this place just now and it sounded pretty cool. My go-to You Tube search yielded your video and here I am. Thanks for sharing!
I am so amazed by what truckers do. Loved this video and found it oddly relaxing. I wasn't the one driving the truck, though :-) Incredible skill you have!
In Carthage, you can pull up between the pillars and hit the docks straight. Your door is in a weird spot.
I work there daily, it does take some getting used to
I went in their in 2004 looking for a certain place for employment. I just drove in with no security at the entrance what so ever. I was in there for over 2 hours and actually got out of my car. Walked into at least 5 buildings without no one at the desk are anything. I even went to the restroom in one of them. Unbelievable , that I was allowed such access.
One memorable delivery for sure.
Great job!
Good job will put you on full time
I'm still trying to figure out how you got that truck in there! Your one good driver!
LOL ... Me too! Still trying to figure it out! It could have been a lot worse though .. just imagine if there had been trucks at door 1 & 2 .... that door 3 would have been ALOT harder to hit!
Thanks David for your generous compliment!
@@SurviveTheTime When I went in their a long time ago. I slid my trailer tandems all the way forward. It helped some. But, I was still feeling that Holy Bat Guano. What have I gotten myself into?
1st time I went in there I thought it had to be a government site. great experience
I think ur onto somethin' there jimmy! I was thinkin' the same thing!
@@SurviveTheTime Welcome to the Deep State!
Thats a bad boy right there. Dammit
I think Springfield, MO,USA
I wonder how many wrecks happen in there with all the blind intersections
Hutchison KS has one 600 feet down. Detroit has one. Springfield, MO has one. Prob. more.
Wonder what they are hauling down there..
👍
What are the supplies that the truck drivers are delivering in the tunnels? It's never mentioned.
Any dry goods or food. Some areas have freezers, I delivered 1 small pallet of ice cream. Big semi for small load.
Hell with all that room 53' isn't big enough.
Would have been easier to blind side in that spot lots more room !!
you do realize that your on one of the top floors of many below...
To be honest ...... I had NO idea there is more than one level .... the thought never occurred to me! I got lost soley on THIS level!!!
The good news is..... After this adventure, downtown Chicago is now less intimidating! *whew*
There is only one level, my brother works there.
Hey thanx for the clarification on the number of levels. I personally never found more than the "one" pictured in the video, but those caverns are so spooky I figured anything was possible!
been there done that...
Where is this?
It's in Missouri.
No hell and you do not want to go there
You visit the owner of the place you are not going to make a delivery of goods as I thought from the start

Revelation 6:15-17,
This is why the homeless population has risen in this country.
Because of this video? Please clarify
