    Are you waiting on a trailer? If so, then I'm assuming that's the hold up according to some other posts here...

    You are waiting on a trailer. That is the answer that you keep hearing because it is what is happening.

    They own several blocks there. Not just the small building the address pulled up. Zoom the camera out store and you will see what I mean. Worst case scenario, security can go unlock the inspection lot gate and let you in to drop trailer.

    What I would do is first go to the drivers lounge lot, and if no room, ask a driver to give you directions to the other lots. Security is in to floor of the lounge building.

    To find the drivers lounge lot, follow my previous directions to the main lot, continue past the gate to the red light, it's a one way. Turn left so you are headed west,the very next block the gate is on the left to the drivers lounge. Pull up to the gate and security will open it. The gate is on a slight angle so not nearly as tight a turn as it first appears, you won't need to swing wide blocking up three lanes.
    I promise you, one of the Lots will have room for you to drop your trailer. But if you are worried about it you can always stop at the petro south of Louisville. The have a blue beacon there if you want to get a fresh wash for inspection. First impressions and all.

    I'd buy a trailer or rent one before I waited two months.

    We applied (ok, hubby did) in November, got approved and trailer ordered. Called early this week, and the guy that was handling hubby's file no longer works there. However, the nice lady who he talked to said, oh, YES, your trailer is sitting here. Make a date. So we did. Due to various obligations at home (it isn't as easy as it sounds to find somewhere to board a horse on short notice), we'll be in Mercertown for the January 18 orientation. Here's to a new year and new opportunities. (Yes, I have read the entire 1288 page Mercer thread.)
