    You can only check in 1 hour before appointment at Wal-Mart. Some will allow 2 hours, but those are few and far between.

    Not always. I have been in and out of Wally World before my appointment time. Delivery last night at 1900, checked in at 1800 and was out at 1855.

    I can count on one hand how many times that has happened. While it does happen, it is few and far between and usually involves a partial load.

    Any time you get the opportunity for a 34 in Las Vegas, you better take it. I usually have to detour off of I-40 if I need to get by the house. There are very few runs up and down I-15, and deliveries to North Las Vegas always seem to go to non-residents for some reason, lol.

    I typically show up 2 hours early at most distro centers. Only ran into a couple that allowed only 1.

    Lumped fee depends on the load. DC to DC is usually no fee.

    Decided to go to a hotel and finish out my 34.

    Chose Comfort Suites in Yukon.

    I asked the desk clerk if they had wi-fi. She said yes, and I joked, "Good, a bed is optional as long as there is wi-fi."

    Got to my room and opened the door. It was dark, so I flicked on the light and saw a couch and chair. I thought, "Seriously... no bed?!"

    Then I looked farther in and saw the bedroom, separated by a hall with the bathroom and shelf containing a microwave & fridge.
