    I got a big ol tip for ya. Don't ever make a wrong turn outta the flying hook at Breezewood thinking you are going 30 West to avoid the toll road. My oh my I ended up on 30 East an had to take 915 over to 99. Boy what a rattle snake treat that was.

    Man.....at least you caught your mistake quick, because I thought 30 between Breezewood and Chambersburg was restricted lol.....I know you had some steep hills and tight turns....probably sweating bullets.

    I was there one time doing paperwork whilst I got unloaded. I saw something moving in the parking lot, and I thought it was a cat or a possum or something and it was a rat. It was incredible.

    That's hilarious. Not suprising either because I did see about 100 rat traps around this place.

    What is a normal time frame to get in and out of this place? I came here a midnight because dispatch said they desperately needed these onions and might unload me. That didn't work out, so I checked in again at 5am. They sent me to 3 different docks before figuring out I needed to be at one across the road. Checked in over there at 5:30am. Now I've been in the staging area for 3hrs waiting for them to free up a dock.

    Man I would be afraid to even venture a guess it’s been years since I’ve been to Produce Row and I only dealt with Lincoln Trail Produce. I’ll put it like this, last time I was there the gate fee was like $10 or $20 I don’t remember which, someone told me the other day now it’s like $40.

    Ah ok. They just told me they might be able to get me in around 11. Receiving said they do need these onions bad but they need the other trucks cargo more right now. One of the trucks just showed up and went in immediately.

    They do have a $40 cash only gate fee here. However we are supposed to tell them to bill it to the customer and use the po on the bill to do it. I was informed after I already paid...

    Also I unloaded onions one time at Schnucks when they had their old warehouse, and my next load was Prairie Farms in Granite City IL and when I got there and got to the dock they said “absolutely no way”. The onion smell was so strong they said it would leach into the dairy product. Climate probably has their poop in a group more than that tho but maybe just be mindful of what you’re loading next.

    Thanks for the tip. I'm headed to hershey, so I'm 100% getting it washed. They denied this trailer for being too dirty last time I was there. I don't feel safe going there if the trailer doesn't pass the white glove test lol 20240731_203002.jpg
