    We don't do this kind of load very often. We took this small nine pallets load to Central Grocers in Joliet,IL. We had a 2am delivery. Got in there about 10:30 pm and there was parking. Walked up to the shack to check in. She says come back at 1:30 am. So I set the alarm and go back at the right time. The guard give me a door and I go back in. Only one other truck was backing in too. Get docked go in the guy say wait 10 min after you get a green light and get your paperwork. That's just how it was. I says thank you and pull out of the gate and go back to sleep.
    How could this be? I'd go back there any time. It is a brand new place and that could be why.

    Give it a little time. Some drivers will go in there, screw something up, and make the warehouse mad. Then they will develop a bad outlook at drivers trying to deliver there. I imagine it will get worse, and often we have ourselves to blame.

    I was in there for the first time a couple weeks ago with 10 skids or so. I had a 1pm apt and was out by 2:30.
