    I've only had one load rejected the whole time I've been doing it. Got rejected cuz of the previous product we hauled. Just had to find someone else to buy it an take it. I haven't done it yet but outside of fall an winter there are supposed to be loads of apples to get out of Washington State on a hopper. They go to Michigan, Kansas, an other places. They don't want them to freeze. I'm not sure what gets done with them at delivery but I bet they would get the trailer fairly messy.

    Yes you can park there where it's shown. When you get there, back into an open spot then check in upon arrival. They open at 10 and you'll probably get put in a dock early. You can also park in that other lot across from the one marked. I've parked on the side going towards the entrance/exit and slept. Others have parked right before the entrance gate off to the left and then circled back around to get out. You'll see all the trucks there how they're parked

    I'm laid over in Brookville, PA til tomorrow. I had ran back and forth between Palmyra and Edwardsville to end the week. Dropped in Palmyra yesterday. Tomorrow I gotta reload in Meadville, PA to drop off at 2 different Menards DCs. It's been awhile since I've done that particular load but the deadhead is nice though!

    Thank you. I rolled in and saw trucks along the road like you said they would be. So that's where I am. What do you mean they open at 10? My appt time says 230am

    McLane’s start receiving check in at 10 pm. If you check in at 10:05 they’re likely to give you a door, and it’s a 50/50 shot if they start on you early. It could happen, especially if it’s a straight pull. That’s just been my experience with them.

    You can check in at 10 pm. That's when receiving opens. The appt times don't mean all that much there.

    Good to know. When you said 10 I thought you meant AM lol. I was worried my appt was wrong and that I wasted an opportunity to complete a 34.

    That's a good run for sure. Little change of scenery compared to our normal 76/70 through PA. I always liked delivering to Menard's DC's. Always pretty quick in my experiences with them
