Elk Grove Village IL
 
Only been in the Chicago area twice and that was with a car.

I might be going to Elk Grove Village in the truck. By the looks of the map it might be on the outskirts of the big city.

How is it around there in a truck?

Don't have a address yet but if I go it will be to a plant that makes painted coil steel for pole barn siding and roofing. On skids eye to the sky.

Any Info would help

Thanks Mike

Elk Grove Village is basically one huge industrial park on the west side of O'hare. Easy for big trucks. Don't be scared.

Very easy to get around, just do what the poster told you..

Chicago is very easy to get around, only areas you have to be concerned about are areas around downtown itself, everything westbound of 290/94 is perfectly OK.

Elk Grove Village is on the good side of town. A very nice western suburb on the western edge of Chicago. It is mostly an industrial area.

Lots of traffic and stop lights !

Rt 83 is a pain in the A$$

The cops in EGV are well versed in all things revenue so be careful, there are also roads that are the old 73280 gross weight limit that aren't always posted

no problem just go do your'e job most likely you,ll be on RT 83.
Don't forget if you go on york road south bound you can't go pass devon av.

I live right by there. My agent has a place there too. Real easy to get around, but the closest truckstop is the I55 Truckstop about 25 miles away.
