I remember my first McCormick run on the bus way as a driver. The first few times you do it, you think there's no way you'll ever be able to do it safely. You just have to dive in and do it and then after the first few hours you get the hang of it and start to feel invincible. If you can do a mccormick shuttle for 12 hours then you can drive anywhere! The first run is always stressful. I had to pick up at Westin and Drake hotels and man that was tough at times. The long lunch breaks were definitely a nice treat.

"Never under-estimate Chicago traffic" - A fascinating insight into a working day in Chicago. This was a pleasure to watch this working day and geography lesson. At least "someone" thought about getting mass-transit (motor coaches) across the city during the last phase of construction (I still prefer the Blue Line in from O'Hare, but that's partly because of the inspiring view of the cityscape as you head eastbound to the city). As a semi-regular visitor to Chicago from the UK, you have alerted me to another piece of city infrastructure which helps to keep Chicago moving. Excellent to see a cheerful pre-check at 2:09 before the working day! I finally realised where you were at 9:09 - lovely city tour. Thank you.

Hey Robertnewlon. Thank you for your kind words. We have a few retired truckers that came to drive for us. They don't regret it a bit. The only challenge most of the ex truckers that drive for us express is that they are not used to not being alone and having privacy during long trips. Their cargo becomes a lot more needy and judgmental lol. But if you can handle that you will enjoy driving a coach. Its not as bad a driving a school bus or transit. You know Ive thought about making a food channel. But I would not be able to sustain all the editing... As of right now between my motorcoach videos and my job and my family, Im stretched pretty thin lol. But maybe one day.

I drove a bus for 38 years. I understand everything you say and show in this video. I miss some of the aspects of the job, but not being sent out to drive somewhere I haven’t driven before with little to no (or vague) instruction as to where I am going. Too many times I was sent blindly into places that aren’t bus friendly and then it was up to me to find my way out of there without getting stuck or hitting something. Never in Chicago, but up and down the western states including places like Portland, Seattle, Los Angeles, Orange County and plenty of other sketchy places. When I turned 60 I quit driving a bus and decided to do something else before it killed me. Hats off to you brother. It was a great video reminiscing of the challenges that went on daily.

Nice to have a route planner. I sometimes get my assignment 5-minutes before heading out to somewhere I've never been which gives me 30-seconds or less to plan and execute route. I prefer to have my dispatches the night before so I can look it up and research routes but many times I have just mere seconds and have to make route changes and program GPS while traveling in very heavy traffic so that I arrive in time. That is why I call myself a miracle worker. Very very stressful even after driving commercial vehicles for 39-years, it doesn't get any easier. I absolutely hate flying blind but sometimes that is what we have to do because it is expected of us. Thank goodness for all the technology we now have access to because years ago this was all done on a pay phone on the side of the road. You can have Chicago James, I've got Nashville which traffic wise is no easier.

While you were providing a free shuttle from the Hilton to the McCormick Center bus depot, anyone could have walked out to the front of the Hilton on S. Michigan and hopped on the #3 Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) bus. In less than 10 minutes the #3 CTA drops one off in front of McCormick Center. Of course one would have had to purchase a Ventra Card to use the CTA bus. The bus runs by the Hilton about every 7 to 10 minutes. Not a Chicago native. Whenever I visit Chicago and my stay involves visiting McCormick, I stay at hotels near S. Michigan and take the #3 to the convention center.

Large conventions can easily overwhelm local public transit, causing a ripple effect through the city and creating chaos for locals just trying to go about their normal day. Most venues for large conferences require the host have its own adequate transit service. Not to mention many of the attendees at these conferences are usually not locals and certainly not familiar with the public transit routes in the area.

I take the Metra Electric District to the city. The Metra Electric District and South Shore Line between McCormick Place Station and Van Buren Station. I have seen the buses on the Bus way along the road.
