Prime Drop Yard

Knight Transport

 

Knight transport or knight transportation

 

One not far away in Ontario too...

 

I've been to three.

One West and South of the TAs. Between I-10 and CA-60. Dirt lot. Cows next door.

2nd one off Cherry couple blocks north of I-10. Same exit for three sisters truck stop. Nicer lot. However they aren't afraid to double park trailers. So you have to move one trailer to get to the one you need behind it.

3rd is the Knight lot. Nice and paved. We have specific slot numbers that we can only park in. 2 way street there but median only allows one direction in and out.

 

According to my FM, reefer loads have to be dropped at the Knight lot because they have security monitoring. However... when I have been to the dairy lot with the cows, I have seen Prime trailers with reefers running. Yes, the Knight lot is paved, etc. but also can be very tight.

 

All three have onsite security 24 hours.

Up north there is a yard north of Stockton between I5 an 99. About 5 miles south east of the Flying j on I5. Lodi, CA. And no, not the bakery customer where we drp n hook loads. Paved for loaded. Dirt for empties. Trailer repair shop, they offer washouts.

 

I did all three in one day! Weekend dispatch could not find our loaded trailer. Knight lot was first and another driver was waiting on empty, so we dropped in the driveway and he hooked. Mistake. Knight will not let you bobtail out. Had to get hooked to loaded trailer and haul that around looking for ours
