    If I hadn't seen with my own eyes I sure would agree. Thought I had a pic of it (taken about 30 years ago) but I'll be ###### if I can find it.

    Those pics are Carthage... well lit, lotsa room to drive in. Pretty much ensures that's the place.

    Indepence is not well lit, very little room, and the turns are gawdawful. Some of the places you have to pull onto to get into the docks look more like tailings heaps than road surface!

    One of the strangest pickups I had was a 44k lbs load of bottled "Doggy Water". I asked the guy loading me what makes it "Doggy Water", he said the price. They get .50 more per bottle of the dog water then the people water. Only real difference was the label they put on it.

    i picked up a load of magazines from a warehouse in las vegas, nv. i delivered it the next day to a warehouse near downtown los angeles. while unloading it, i found out it was some magazine called bazaar. it's an emo fashion magazine. some of the emos at the warehouse began asking me if i wanted to party with them later that day. i declined.

    Weirdest place I delivered to was when I was pulling dump. We would have to deliver to O'hare Airport in Chicago. It was smack-dab in the middle of the airfield. We (there were about 5 of us) all had to take airport safety class (provided by the contractor) and pass a securtiy background investigation. Upon arrival to the gate, we had to be escorted to the job site, zig zagging this way and that on the taxiways and across runways. You don't really realize how big the airport is until you are actually on it; from the gate to the site was about 3 miles. They were putting in some huge underground drainage pipes and we were bringing in the fill. Oddly enough, it is relatively quiet out there and there grows wild onions, so it has a light smell of onions.

    Been to the caves north of KCMO. That was an odd experience but no different than backing in a big city. Tight and always seems to be an endless line of cars waiting to get around you.
