Creve Coeur, MO (KMOV) - Day two of the I-64 shutdown has many commuters including truck drivers looking for alternative routes.

News 4 talked with a few truck drivers and found out how they're fairing with the shutdown.

Truckers are complaining about dodging around the I-64 closure, the detours, side streets and Interstate 44.

Trucks struggle to stay between the lines on I-44, because the lanes tend to be too narrow. Another frustration is they are not allowed on side streets because it's hard to turn on them.

Many drivers tell News 4 that they are finding ways around the highway closure, but give motorists a bit of advice.

Truckers advise to either pass semi trucks or stay behind them in order to prevent accidents.
