I was praying for him to take down the telephone pole.
I liked that, but was wondering if he could have
(1) entered from opposite direction (green vs. red arrows, but probably not as I look at it angle is worse/street narrower)?
OR (2) nosed into that business accross the street, THEN backed in?
OR, (3) as the "expert video commentators" were saying, he needed more sophisticated mirrors/better skills, instead of the old school "fixed" mirrors?
OR, (4) maybe that was just one of those s*** delivery jobs you truckers just have to sometimes navigate in a congested urban area like NYC?

Obviously this is delivery best handled by a day cab.
presume that means a smaller (shorter) truck?

And made it all the way to Helena MT.
Transmission go boom.
At least I was able to make it to the top of the mountain and into a big enough pull out to get it off the road. It still would drive so I limped back down the hill into Helena, but the noises coming out of the trans told me it was not happy to do so...
Pulled the plug and a good portion of the auxiliary section rattled into the drain pan.
Buy a truck and be an owner operator they said. It will be fun, they said!!!
