    That's not too bad, if you sight side back into the ones with multiple spots open.

    I know how you feel, but don't worry hurting your pride for taking too long. All's well that ends well. :)

    Looks like a bad setup. If they would have not added the curbs and grass islands it would be two sides of pull through spots. Pretty dumb.

    With my long wb classic and I still haven't driven my turn stops in further. That would have taken me 10 minutes easy, maybe 20!

    That reminds me I need to hit those stops with some more PB to try and loosen them up.

    No, there werent any more spots left on the left hand side. Some of the trucks hadnt backed up far enough which meant i was only about a foot from the truck across from me when backing. Made it difficult.

    Don't know. Maybe counting product who knows. Just the way they do it there.

    Likely they take you on a first come first unloaded basis, even if you are on time for an appointment. AND do a product count.
