Delivering Underground In Kansas

I was still a rookie at the time and I was just getting comfortable with everything around me. As they say, "you know you are still alive when you learn something new" or something to that affect. Well anyway, I was under a load going to Kansas and as I said I was comfortable until I got to the receiver. That's when I remembered that I was still a rookie and still in the learning stages of this career. The door I had to deliver to was underground and extremely tight to maneuver. Once I was backed in I let out a sigh of relief and couldn't wait till my next new experience. Let me know if you have experienced this or anything similar that you would like to share with everyone.

At 21 years old and a whopping 3 months into my OTR career my company sent me on a 3-stop delivery....two in Bronx, one in Queens. Wanna guess how that went? Perfect! Oh yeah, no problem.

Yeah right!!!! It was a catastrophe!

I wrote a long story about it in my book Becoming A Truck Driver: The Raw Truth About Truck Driving. And by the way, that's a link to the 100% free online version of my book.

Here's where that NYC story starts: Page 38: Trip Into NYC.

What a mess! I've had a ton of people tell me they thought that story was pretty funny so it's worth a few minutes of time I think.

Brett is that when you had to stop in the middle of the highway with another driver because of a low bridge and hop the curb and cut across the grass? If it is your right it is pretty funny.
