    Given the lack of parking across ND (and the fact I would be passing near the den of the Great Satan -a.k.a. Wylie Corp.), I am inclined to go off route and detour thru SD, MN and down thru IA to 80 and across that way. Only adds about 60 miles to a 2042 mile run.

    I delivered and picked up out of Zeeland a bunch of times when I drove for Tyson. Always an easy place for us, but I never had to get live loaded/unloaded! Was one of the best perks for driving in the private fleet - preloaded freight at the plants lol

    @supersnackbar you might wanna call the customer and see if you can come load early tomorrow. I don’t know what time your appointment is if it’s in the afternoon or not because currently I’m the only truck on the property

    Did your load end up being a -10 load like you expected.

    I'll have to keep that in mind! I've used the one across the interstate from Walmart in Grandview, and the one in ellensburg. We don't have accounts at either, but they've been convenient lol
     
    Friend Thanks this.

    They would've let me drop, but we didn't have any empties, and I needed one. Didn't want to play "hunt an empty" and was planning on a live unload anyway. Though if we're doing this many runs there, may be worth building a trailer pool.
     
    Knucklehead, Friend and trucker-chase Thank this.

    I just spoke with them in the shipping office and told them about you coming at 1:30 tomorrow afternoon and they looked up on the board in the office at your appointment time and they said if you show up anytime after 7 o’clock in the morning they’ll load you
