    Bg its awesome that the company gets input from the actual trainers on how a program is set up or actually applies changes that you all recommend. I couldn't be a trainer but I have the up most respect for you all that are. And as you all have written on here you do it cause you care not just for the extra miles that you all constantly remind the planners your a training truck not a team trucks. Thanks BG and John Boy for putting quality drivers on the road.

    They are there late. If your looking at the receiving door, drop trl in any opem dock to the right. Open doors. Theres a ppwk dropbox in recoevong. If no dock availabe write drop location on ppwk.

    I'd like to know that, too. I usually put trailer in the door and take the top page and put the rest in the box on the trailer. When I scan the bills, I write on them that no one was there to receive.
     
    YardDart Thanks this.

    Just remember it's door 47 in the back. Go past the guard shacks and go the right of the big building and follow it around to your left. Great setup there Yard Dart.

    Drop trailer in an open door on receiving side you keep one copy of bill drop other in the drop at receiving office. The door is always unlocked so u can walk inside to put bills in drop box

    That's exactly what I did. With the exception I made an extra copy of the B/L and put it in the last rack of glass. So they have 2 now. Thanks for the info guys and girl as expected got a load from there to USX global in Dallas . I know where it is but Is there anywhere to park near there I don't care if its on the street. I kust don't want to fight Dallas Monday morning traffic. Thanks everyone for the info. Plus not want to start my clock till I'm empty

    It's in an industrial park, the bldg it's self is pretty small, but you might find an empty hole to back into. There are usually a few drop trailers there and last time I went there Abilene had an empty there.

    I have never tried to stay there. Its gated and guarded. Worst case go to US Express yard in Irving. Then OD over in themorning. Its fairly close.
