Through Chicago's old stockyards with GP Transco: Alex the Trucking Guy's delivery run
A load for a company billed as one of America's highest paying carriers took Alex past the gate where Swift and Armour once packed the city's meat, and the comments followed every tight turn.

I Made a Delivery for One of America’s Highest Paying Trucking Companies
Four days old and doing most of the lifting, "I Made a Delivery for One of America's Highest Paying Trucking Companies" has passed 70,000 views. The title's claim belongs to Alex; the company in question, named in the tags and description, is GP Transco, and a viewer was quick to point out how new its trailers look.
The route is what got people talking. Alex's GPS led him into tight Chicago streets, and one commenter explained what he called a castle: the old gate of the Union Stock Yards, where Swift and Armour built the city's meatpacking empire. Others mostly wanted to say how stressful the narrow lanes and oncoming traffic looked, and to applaud the parking at the end. A smaller chorus teased him for shutting down over rain and for leaning on the hazard lights.
On Saturday he added "Before You Become A Truck Driver Watch This," a piece of advice for would-be drivers that opened at a quicker pace than most of his recent uploads. Behind both, "My First Week In My Brand New Truck!" from early September keeps ticking along.
The channel as a whole ran a little above its usual daily pace, while the subscriber count held at about 1.09 million. Among the machine and aviation channels near its size, it is the quietest corner this week; Aaron Rheins and Dorothy Lech drew the big crowds, and Captain Steeeve and Tony 98 ran well above their own usual pace.
