    Waited around all day yesterday for a 19:00 live unload near King of Prussia. Get unloaded, told freight is “soft” in the area and get with dispatch in the morning. Parked at Macungie and freight is still soft.

    You can park at the airport but it’s expensive. Looks like trucks pay 3x the normal rate. That sucks because they have plenty of room on the outskirts of the lots. I had a hidey hole you could use but the company just moved and the a hole next to them took over.
