    Again only @scottied67 truly appreciates a good blind in.
    This door 12.
    You have to blind into door 12, or hop the curb, and go into the mud bog, which I just can't see being good for the steering components.
    It's a snap during the day, albeit I'm starting my 68th hour.

    Aw. You should try a McKesson facility, they keep you inside a dog cage at any door you manage to breach. Chain link fencing.

    best of all you aint touch nothing in those facilities. Im back to grab sleeper time while they count and load the little bottles filled with wonderful magical things that help people.

    I saw your pictures, I see where that mud will become a problem beyond that pavement. The bollards are a mite too restrictive.. but that's life.

    There's some place in Texas that has insulation or something near Beaumont. You have to hang your keys on a hook and sit on this little piece of wood that juts out from the wall while being loaded. And your in this little painted square that's like 2 x 2. If you don't stay there, keys on hook, they won't load you, no matter how long it takes.

    Lot's of places have the cages now. You never set foot in this place I have in the pictures. There is a radio in a room with a nice bathroom and shower, and you call inside on the radio.
