    I believe you have a parts trailer that is supposed to be dropped if it says that on the bills. Check on the QC and if it says DRL and not LUL, that's what you have. There may or may not be an mty one there for you to pick up. It's an act of congress to get live unloaded if that's the case. You would contact your FM, who in turn would contact Harvey.
     
    MidWest_MacDaddy and Redtwin Thank this.

    Thanks you were a massive help. Qc does say drl didn't even notice that as all the other hp loads were live unload. Does look like parts too not the usual stuff.

    I spoke to a manager when i did my reconnaissance run by the store this morning and he mentioned unloading it into an xtra trailer they have on site for storage. There were none of ours there but there could well be by the time i am due for delivery.

    I will call dm in morning unfortunately she doesn't get in before i hope to be at delivery

    12 noon. Nowhere to park I felt comfortable with. It wasn't a new construction and the small access roads behind the store had too much traffic with too many cars squeezing by in the 30 mins i was parked there.

    If i had gotten there late at night and was unloading first thing in the morning i would have stayed put , but 24 hours would have been too ominous.

    There were some construction sites nearby that looked ok but that was Sunday. I am sure i would have been in the way early this morning and have to move anyway.

    If i ever have to deliver this type of load in this area again the plan will be to stay well outside of Orlando and time my journey with delivery.

    On the plus side I won't have to go through Orlando this morning.

    It wasn't new construction?
