My DH drove a truck for 46 yrs. and I 10. We owned 2 trucks. Making a del. in Wa. D.C. is a nitemare.
we have a stop in downtown boston that you can only get to with a straight truck, and he had to pull his mirror's in flat to the doors b4 he goes down the alley, cause that is the only way he fits... goes a full city block like that... and had never even scraped the truck on either building... he parks in the one spot that widens out to open his door & makes the delivery... used to be twice a week.... always amazed me.
