    Reference halls, if you have a morning appt and show up around midnight or later they will let you park inside the fences. Just check in like normal. No matter your appt time if you are there around 6-630 be prepared for a call or knock as they will want to unload you. Then just go park someplace till 10 is up.

    Im there 1-2x per week and havent had any issues at all.

    I have loitered there a few hours after unloading waiting for a new load, but I always felt like I was doing something I shouldnt and would avoid eye contact with the yard dogs if one rolled by which prolly just made me look more suspicious.

    I would suck as a criminal.

    Im here too but already hooked to my load. I have 2:45am curtain call and am failing miserably at trying to fall asleep.

    Yeah really if i'm here any longer,they'll be sending me mail to the truck.Put out a word to my dm today,about getting me out of here in the morning,but as we've seen in the past that doesn't mean squat.

    I have stopped sending freeforms or calling about loads. It's too frustrating and only results in ruining my mood for the day.

    They know where I am, they know I'm empty and there is a good chance they appreciate me not harassing them. So I won't break any mileage records, I can live with that as I won't have broken my spirit either.

    Is there nothing moving out of Richmond these days? Geez! Last couple weekends it was no hp freight. Now bh?

    I might be doing the halls shuffle a couple times a week in Jan-Feb. Seems the most logical considering the situation.
