    Very cool. You likely have cleared those wires already LOL. I don't recall delivering to that one - it doesn't look familiar to me. They probably get semis in on a regular basis. As awkward as some of those Texas school warehouses are, a few are alright stops. About the only worry I've had at some is complaints to the police about reefer noise if I park too close to someone's house LOL. Example: Northside ISD in San Antonio has a Walmart about a mile away, except it has no truck parking posted. The side street is basically a bus turn-around for a big apartment complex across the street from WM. The first night I parked on that street, I was sleeping light expecting a knock from the cops, or worse, one of the residents.

    Another bonus is I don't think I've met any dock hands at those TX schools that were jerks. Not one! Nice folks, glad to see you, and usually no wait whatsoever. Even the few that wouldn't step on the truck to unload (allegedly their insurance policy or some such nonsense) would supply an electric lift for me to pull the product off. Probably more dangerous than them doing it LOL.

    This picture is Temple ISD. The straight truck on the right is where their dock is. If you can bump the dock with your tractor jack-knifed you almost don't block traffic. Doesn't matter if you do, they just turn around and go another way LOL

    Man sure hate giving up my load. I had it for like two days. We developed a bound. I was suppose to make sure it gets delivered to its destination. But I couldn't keep my end of the bargain. I sure hope I can be trusted to deliver the next load. Giving up your load is like giving up your wife to your best friend. If you can't do the job. Somebody else sure will. I don't know how I'll live this one down. I just hope the load doesn't ask for alimony.
