    Also, line yourself up and go as far forward as you can (even down the little hump on the left side) before backing up by the dumpster by the wall (if it’s still there. Been 3 years since I’ve been there). It’s not too terribly bad. You just have to set up right or it will be a pain. And going out? Equally as fun.

    I think I came in from the back alley of the building beside it.

    What makes it pretty tuff is you don't have any room out front,so if you don't hit it right,you need to pull out and start over.
     
    JohnBoy and jarhead0311 Thank this.

    Was hoping for a roll up door but got one of the new trailers with swing doors.....I70 looked like a war zone this morning with cars and trucks in the ditches and median everywhere.

    These new reefers are super quiet. Some other driver that had this trailer before me must have hit a yellow pole or barrier being there is a big scrape mark and dents on right side with yellow paint.

    Go from 25 degrees in MO to 85 degrees in NM here. Don't know how accurate temp sensor is though but it is warm here. Keep switching from pants and boots to shorts and shoes every other day I swear, lol! Wish winter would stay mild like this all winter....
