      Used to go into most of the Chicago rails. Willow Springs was about the best, BN Cicero and House 9 were ok once you learned your way around, UP under I-55 could get tight... Going back behind Comisky Park could get dangerous at times. Been to CSX and NS and some of the others. Always freight in Chicago.

    Not all truckers love their job like you. I’m a yard switcher at FedEx Ground in Indiana and not many drivers that come through seem like they enjoy their job as much as you. So seeing this makes me happy, safe travels!

    Yes I am loving the positivity. So many guys are negative and I know the truck driving business is rough. I will be attending CDL school soon. I am so glad I came across your video. It really gave me a more positive outlook on being a truck driver. Keep up the good work.

    I used to drive to the Long Beach and Oakland shipping ports and let me say it is wild and crazy it takes long to get in and it takes long to get out. I've seen trucks crash in there, I've seen fights, seen container handlers drop containers. Anything you can think of shit even truckers unhooking their loaded chassis without putting the legs down on purpose no one cares in there. Good luck when they go on lunch an extra hr of wasted time for you, also had a couple protests so people would block off entrances making it harder for us. Never going back to doing that shit here in cali

I went to truck driving school five years ago and just graduated and earned a Carrier-Studies Certificate in Driver's Education Instructor from Northern Virginia Community College last year.

    I used to pull containers a few months back did it for almost a year. I'll never forget the day I went into the UP railyard in Marion , AR to drop off a chassis and when I came out a Universal truck rolled over at the gate blocking entrance and exit. Had to sit there for almost 2 hours till wreckers could roll it back over and let us out. Must of been going way to damn fast turning in there to roll it that bad. Be safe.
