    Yes... on the right as you turn into the Yard... before you get to the new gate... but if they are empty, probably not a big deal to be “outside” and security parameter.

    Caught an interesting show today... the tail end of a Tractor Trailer running up onto the guardrail in the median of the interstate. Bet that ruined his day... and probably his career.

    Yeah, couldn't park on side of the road. I don't mind throwing iron though if not too too terrible. Only thing that sucks is drivers that decide not to throw iron when the law is in effect and get stuck then ruin it for everyone coming up with iron on.

    I often wonder why grocery warehouses take forever to unload stuff that should only take 45 min to an hour at most.....worse part is trying to find parking late at night after they decide to finally be done. Next load picks up in Compton, Ca but Im prob not going to find parking that direction.Id go to Colton if not for my 14 being out by these knuckleheads. Prob going to have to go back up 95 north of vegas to park in the desert. Sorry for ranting....

    I had that same experience with a grocery warehouse a while back and the guy that supervised said “We break down the pallets of groceries inside the trailer; count and restock then pull them out of the trailer “.
    All I could say was REALLY!
    It sounded more like being lazy... why can’t you do that inside the warehouse? 4 hours of detention but I rather be moving.

    Thats what I keep thinking too, pull all the stuff off then break it down or whatever gotta do and let the drivers go. Clock milking to me not unloading it all first.

    Does anybody know if they're doing the bonus this year.

    And when do we get it.

    Yes. It runs from 1/1/19 through 11/30/19.
    It pays the first pay period of December. Just like last year. Make sure if you’re thinking of quitting, you do it after 11/30. If not you’re SOL. Also, no accidents or incidents.
