    Yesterday I pick up at this place in Florida... docks were inside building...

    [​IMG]

    Customer (4 gentlemen) were at the dock and loaded my trailer by hand.... They broke the seals of the pallets and put boxes on top of boxes to be able to fit everything inside... but it took them 3 hrs... Not counting the time it took to go from first warehouse just to find out that it wasn't there... and then almost one hr waiting at second location to get from the truck line to the dock... :biggrin_2552: Well.... there will be detention pay.... :yes2557:

    Parked at a rest area in FL yesterday... and now at a truck stop in TX on I-20...

    Got permission from customer to park at delivery dock tomorrow evening... The same customer who loaded my trailer will be there to unload it on Wed morning...

    Yeah I like Deer Hunter myself. The archery game is pretty fun and entertaining also. Parked at the J in Rock Springs. Watched a CRE take a May trucking hood off, and he wasn't even backing in! Some people! Then the lil dweeb tried to ease on out like he didn't know what happened. Well back to your regularly scheduled programming!

    Parked in front of the dock at the store where I'll be unloaded tomorrow morning... somewhere in TX... Darn convenience store at this corner doesn't have public restroom... :biggrin_25510: A lot of vehicles coming and going... and a liquor store across the street...

    If you were driving west on I-12 at about 2000 between Slidell, LA and about mm 60 I apologize for blinding you lol. I'm driving down the road and BOTH my headlights burnt out about 5 minutes apart. Had to throw the high beams on to gel me to the TA Slidell so I could by me some bulbs. Yes. I'm THAT guy.

    Only had about a little over hour on my clock when I got here but I also knew there would be nowhere to park. Sure enough even the reserved spots were gone. As I made the loop to the shop a vampire decided to start his shift and I grabbed his spot.
