    They didn't clown me lol they actually said good job. Said 53 footers always have a problem getting in and they recommend 48ft to the shippers. Guess they didn't get the memo smh

    Ya, he gives a good dressing down for sure.

    Not sure if he was a former military drill Sargent or State Trooper, but he could teach a class on "butt chewing 101" ... without the book.

    Good Man with a Hard Job...
    To keep us all Safe & Legal...

    He has my Respect.

    Assuming you got it in there without making another dent in the guardrail... GOOD JOB!!!

    Yes, those hard backs both piss us off and then rather proud after we bump the dock without hitting anything...

    Sometimes we are better than we think...

    Or in my case, just Damnn Lucky... :D

    Gate to open? You must've gone in the wrong way then. All of givens bldgs are accessed off Woodlake. Was it a 1720 Military Hwy address? If so, take Woodlake and turn right after bldg G-2, then go all the way to the gate that is closed and turn right. Usually they tell you to back into door 25, unless someone is already there. Took me a moment to figure that out too. They also have a scale there. Just be careful getting on it. A little tight. Go all the way to the end and spin around and hug the right side by the yellow posts and steps and you'll be good. It now is $10 since they have certified it. But they charge it to Abilene so no $$ out of pocket for it.
