    Only Batavia and Valporaiso, and only van, some shipped from home base and a little done as backhaul,, beet sugar from up by Fargo to Batavia.

    I unloaded and pinwheeled the pallets if needed, it wasn't that bad. We shop there, too.

    The one in Tully, NY is very accomidating. They'll let you park after unloading to take a nap. Very handy if you got there at the end of a driving shift and need to finish out a break.

    They're a German based store chain hence their no frills, no nonsense approach.

    I'd say try 'em. I think I showed up about 2-3 hrs before they opened once and it wasn't a problem. The staging area is just past the guard shack. Worst case, there's plenty of curb outside the gate if they kick you out.

    Also, there's a truck friendly Walmart in Natrona Heights if you're coming via PA-28 and have time to kill. Coming from the north like I did, use exit 16 not 17. I hear there's a wicked grade or two LOL.
