    Medical Beds? If so, get comfy... it will take them from 8-5 to unload those beds... ugh.

    Next time I get that load I will be supervising.

    @Finfn1372 tell me if your address is now correct... I am fairly sure it was wrong when I went down there... I had hoped they would update our address database for the next driver.

    Get in and bump that dock early... like before 7am... once 8am hits you are maneuvering around cars and people.

    I ageee with KD5... bump the dock and drop the trailer until you are empty. The nose sticks out into the driving lanes. I didn't last time but I should have.

    Again, make it easy on yourself and bump the dock before everyone comes to work.

    I missed the tamales... was it a truck vendor or walking distance from the drop?

    Really wishing i had a teleport button.... 3 stops. Bh brooklyn (here now waiting on door) bethpage long island at 8am and then edison nj at 10 am. Load was brought up from bh arkansas and didnt arrive till around 3pm on the yard. Was hoping it would have been there a few hours earlier so i could 8/2 split this. Day started just before 2100. Thinking imma be searching for a "safe haven" before this is all over with.

    Maybe all the italians will stay home for columbus day today!

    It was a guy with a cooler in his POV. Sketchy, but as I lived in Texas for 38 years, it was nothing to me. Happens all the time in Texas and other border states.
