    I got $200 detention for my 30 hour movie marathon there. He ought to get $300-400. I always went in there well stocked. :)

    I've been to many Cargill plants.That too is a hurry up and wait game.Especially with only 3 docks and 50 plus trks waiting.

    Budweiser can be the same way.So is Miller in Fort Worth.You'll always see a line a good mile long with trks sitting on the service road waiting to check in is'nt the long but waiting for bulkheads,ya that can take a long hr or better.Then you move elsewhere and wait another hr or longer before they even touch your trl to get loaded.

    I don't. They pay well.

    I hate Budweiser. They don't pay for ####, their loads are heavy, and they employ ego-maniac power trip thugs for security. And their beer sucks.
