I’ve been trucking almost 30 years and Chicago still makes me nervous between low over passes and bullets!

[@beegood9395]

Welcome to unfriendly Chicago!

[@kens.3729]

To say Chicago is a Challenge is almost too Nice of a word. Ridiculous is a more Accurate word. 😬👍

[@412hwc]

agree

[@loadedtrucker447]

You were in my hood. I don't usually see youtubers trucking in my area. Pretty cool. The low bridges are in the city. I made a right turn on a street not for trucks and then saw the sign. I just kept going and got off it.

[@tonyanderson6493]

Another good one

[@ChiBluez]

Man!!!! I’m in Chicago! R u still here? Let me take you out on the town!!!!

[@skodass1]

Never ceases to amaze me at the waiting times you truckers have to endure... but as long as you get payed to wait (which i know you dont all get) then i think its fair.

[@TheMiller607797]

My company is out of elk Grove village,IL ... Right around where you were . I hate the traffic up there. I always go up during the night. And leave at night. Lol

[@markcouper3825]

i seen your vlog about the 1998 ford ranger . can you believe the biggest selling new vehicle in australia at the moment is the ford ranger

[@otrookie]

Oh I see it, great cars I seen a company that threw an 8 cyl in one thing is badass

Man you are the otr pro now

[@MrWolf2212]

You might need to update your gps or just get a new one. It's giving you wrong directions.

[@EddieTruckingAdventures]

Hi. Love the intro

[@jessieonofre3607]

What’s the app you’re using on your phone for the satellite ?

[@otrookie]

Google maps

[@josh_a58]

Just drive until you get stuck then figure it out. Such a steering wheel holder thing to say. Can’t say it’s a rookie move, you know you’re supposed to route plan.

[@charlesfrascona2073]

Been there in that shit show

Hey, I saw a few times that youre Videos are Short of Long. I prefer the longer ones 20-45 Minutes….Is it possible to make the Videos longer in Future of are you in Stress because of work?
Greetings from Germany

[@JohnHallgren]

Videos of 15-20 minutes get more views than longer ones as people don’t want to spend too much time on each one so it’s better for his channel to do more often and shorter ones.

[@christiandurkens8100]

@@JohnHallgren Thanks you for awnsering!

[@JohnHallgren]

@@christiandurkens8100 Just wanted to explain why it’s beneficial to video creators to not have longer ones. I often bypass viewing ones that exceed 30-35+ minutes and prefer viewing two shorter ones in that time.

[@tonyanderson6493]

@@JohnHallgren if its a good youtuber like Rasim then people want the longer bids

[@JohnHallgren]

@@tonyanderson6493 there’s a channel I subscribe to that has 400K subscribers and even there, the longer videos get many less views than the average 25-30 minute ones.

[@Huzza07]

what engine does this truck have?

[@otrookie]

12.7 Detroit

[@hansenhansen8349]

Maybe it's me but I can't watch your videos, with that camara on your head to much moving it makes me seasick. Be safe.

[@brentmanzella4186]

Any girls on the corner. They use to jump in your truck. $20 bucks .

[@loadedtrucker447]

He's saying he's in the Chicago area, not the city. The low bridges are there and maybe girls on the corner though I've not seen them in years.

[@otrookie]

I wouldn’t know, ain’t nobody jumping in my truck lol
