oh my God I thought I was going the wrong way for a second oh my God okay so we just follow this right on South popper and then another right and then that's the uh where I got to back in should be interest Head West on West 29th Street towards South pop [Applause] Avenue okay oh oh I didn't scrape that Tim in 300 ft turn right onto South po Avenue I need all turn right on South Avenue one way right all right all right all right all right minivan I need you to go I need everyone out the way oh turn signal stay on all I'm going take this take this wide as wide as possible all right hold hold hold right turn on sou Archer Avenue straight I can't okay okay okay let's mess this truck up some more with the speed bumps what is that all right forklifts that'd be ideal if I back in like that and like they just have a forklift come out oh my God I didn't see that speed bum either oh well turn right onto South Archer Avenue then turn right onto South Center Avenue this is a look at that artwork oh that is beautiful all D where you going you there you didn't have to make a right turn but I mean you just had to get out of the way I don't know I don't know we're going to use this space [Applause] here go Kenny we don't have time to go slow these people will take your space that you need to make the turn take to South Center Avenue then your destination will be on the right all right Kenny k your destination is on the right oh this is such bad parking this so bad parking it's fine we're here and that was a that was like a 15minute detour man I'm going to go check in and see where they want me they're probably going to tell me to go in there best case I stay here they get their forklift and they just zoom in and out but I really don't think that's going to happen all right I'm back this is a very rare situation they told me just to stay on the street like park over there and then they're going to have their fork lift come out just go in and out of their warehouse taking off the pallet how how are they going to get the pallets off of a 53 ft trailer this is a deep I don't know man I could back it in oh it doesn't make sense to back it in because it's hello how are you just a big old truck there's a van oh okay you want to go behind ah now wait for that van and the Jeep to go and then we got to straighten out okay I didn't see I didn't [Music] see turn turn Kenny turn make this look nice nice as possible at least oh that's not nice that's not [Applause] nice all right that's pretty straight all right we got to go open the doors and then they're just going to do their thing I should lock the doors I should lock the doors I should it's Chicago so go lock the doors just in case just in case CU you never know where's my key oh there's a key now is it a metal seal oh I think it is I Lear my Cutters I need the Cutters B Cutters close oh my God it's cold oh my God oh my God it's it's January something right now when I'm filming this it is freaking cold in Chicago it's got to be like 5° or something man it is so cold is so cold so very very cold anyone there anyone there no oh please open I think we're going to take out that bush that's okay I just I just going to nudge her way through we just going to do that she's very dirty as you can see I need to take it to headquarters so get a truck wash we have a we have a automatic truck wash at our headquarters it's pretty good it's very good we got to keep Kenny looking good right now it's not it's not oh God okay I locked it right there's the park there's a park look at the park I want to go see the park man dude this is cool dude look at that and then it's got like the the stairs there you could just chill this is probably a stage maybe at one point it was you see that right there I don't know this is like where's that a lake oh that's probably a pond that's probably a pond but this is like so my this is my speed right here just chill absolute chill music Beautiful views that's my speed all there's a Ford and there's an [Music] alus Kenny Kenny all right we're going to see how long they take to onload I wouldn't be surprised if I'm here for 2 hours to me on it's it's like 11: probably get out of here at 1: cuz they have to go in and out of their warehouse and I'm sure the guy that's on the forklift isn't going to be happy because he's got to come out here in this cold so it's going to take a while I don't blame him though we'll see in a bit all I got to get the shoes on all right update there's a lot of ice right there on the driveway and guy in the forklift can't get in through the uh it's just dangerous for him you know especially when he's carrying like 43,000 lb of stuff here man those Pilots are heavy and it's not safe so I'm going to try and back it in into their um driveway I guess is that's what it's called we are going to mess some stuff up we're going to take out curves probably going to take out that bush too but we'll get it in there I'll do some remodeling free of charge it's all the power of the it's all a part of the service ah all we got to start turning a little bit shallow turn I want the trailer tires to kiss that um what am I on oh I'm on the curve all oh we are destroying that curve cuz you wouldn't hurt [Applause] me I left left left you to you you oh that guy's helping all he just wants to make sure his car doesn't get [Applause] hit I don't hurt you the trailer oh that trailer's going to hit the fence yeah you see that the angle the angle I'm coming in it's not that's not right that's not right oh we are messing up oh God go ahead go ahead go ahead oh [Applause] God oh God I need to go shallow I I need to go shallow that's what I'm doing wrong I need this trailer to be closer to the building rather than closer to the fence I he hear a car speakers on my right but would hold you back know that's what would do I don't want to hold you [Applause] back where are you going I will w how far am I from the fence I think I got it I think I got it I think I got [Applause] it oh thank God to you expero truck driver oh w w w w I deserve a bonus good I don't know you want me to pull up good all right let's take a look at this just so you get a sense of how good that was cuz that was freaking amazing that deserves to be on every highlight wheel highlight reel in America oh my God there's so much ice okay yeah I see what the guy was saying this is this is sketchy I'm just going to go in the driveway for a little bit I'm just going to go over here just going to take this shortcut here and we're going to do this all right look at the street you see the street this camera has a literally super max wide angle lens uh right now that space is like maybe 5 6 ft and then over there maybe 4T it's not the tightest dock in the world but it's it's pretty damn it's pretty damn oh God there's so much ice all right let me go back in the truck where it's warm all right now all done 12:47 right now I need to go that way but I'm definitely going to destroy that guy's car if I make that turn all right we need to use the inches to get out of here oh God oh God that doesn't look good does not look good that is not oh my God [Music] either go Kenny oh my God oh my God inches inches from hitting go Kenny come on oh come on how do you turn on the uh this time four-wheel drive Kenny Kenny Kenny please Kenny please Kenny go yes yes yes yes turn at theop oh I got stuck in the ice oh my God okay now I need to go headquarters it's about an hour away pick up up a droing hook trailer and then go all K what are you doing you can't really go anywhere dude oh turn left at the stop sign let's see how the heck I get out of here it's telling me the inter stage is right to my left so uh we are going to button hook this I'm going to take up the middle I want to cut cut right cut right to turn left it's now my chance now's my chance not make chance oh where you going dude I don't want to wait for the sem my truck to make his complete turn you'll end up you'll end up getting hit by oh God oh God that's so green get me out of here right on Canal Port I hope this isn't a two lane oh it's not a two lane anymore I do not fit in these Lanes I do not uh I'm thinking this is going to be you look at the GPS it's a 90° right turn so I'm thinking this is going to be a another turn where I have to button hook I have to turn left before turning right then take the second you going dude the heck you see that guy I think this is Hood I'm getting like Hood Vibes yeah this is I don't know oh don't no at the light no

assert okay if you don't like assert your dominance with the truck and like you better you better take the lane when you can get it if you don't do that you hesitate the cars will block you turn right
