Jun 5, 2015

BigRigTravels.com proprietor “BigRigSteve” Michaels has made a name for himself around the world by sharing his runs through the United States for years via a live webcam fed to the website. He also shares significant clips and trips to his Youtube.com page.

This video, posted originally about a year ago on Youtube, captures a run through Chicago at rush hour, at high speed (the video, not the truck).
