    at the drop yard in Memphis. 0900 live unload in the morning 5 miles away.

    could have gotten to the customer but couldn't get a phone number anywhere from anyone for the place to ask if I could park there. initial load assignment said no appt. pulled it up on the map and looked like a few places I could squeeze in there and hide till morning but only info I could find on the place was a press release from where it opened in june. said they would employ 175 and there aren't even 100 parking spaces around the building. my gut was gnawing at me that showing up there tonight with only 15 minutes left probably was going to be a bad idea so I decided against it.

    hate starting the clock for 5 miles in the morning but given the possibility of getting there with no time left and not being able to park, the loves or the J after 1800 or a secure fenced lot at the drop yard it was a pretty easy choice lol

    My father in law was making an Elecrolux delivery in Carteret, NJ. Not looking forward to fighting over parking at the Bloomsbury TA, he decided to call the customer to see if they allowed overnight parking.

    The guy asked him to "define" overnight parking. When Art made it clear he was delivering a load to them in the morning, gave them their PO number for verification and would be staying with the truck, they said no problem.

    When he told me that story, I said it was probably due to the local drivers who always want to park for free for hometime. They didn't want a truck in the way whose driver went home.
