    Sorry to sound somewhat jaded, but after 38 years of this madness, my opinion about most shippers and receivers is exactly the same way as they come across to me, it's a two way street. The ones that are pleasant and nice I have nothing but utmost respect for, but as we all know, they are far and few apart. Just my .02 cents.

    It's very telling that the friendly pleasant ones are also the ones that don't have stupidly long load/unload times.

    Ahh......my wife came down with a 24 hour bug Thursday night, got over it and was good to go last night. I on the other hand, have come down with the same bug and feel like I need to go to the hospital and spend a week in ICU. meanwhile, I'm on the couch with a cold compress on my head wondering just what the hell I did to deserve this.

    I have been fighting "something" for over a week. Was going to see family doctor but try to find one during holidays. Went to the ER this morning and the place was so full that I couldn't even find a chair to sit in. I left, ain't no way, If I was still drinking I know what I would do. LOL

    Never been there but from Google maps I would turn into the shopping center at the macaroni grill off daniels road. That would be a better setup for the dock than using main entrance with the roundabout.

    I would get to daniels road from the turnpike direct from i75 or via 408 off i4 if you are taking 95 down.

    Hey everyone, we have a new guest, welcome Chralb to our little world. I'm sure he'll fit right in with the rest of us.
