    I've loaded there before, was never there more than a few hours, even when my trailer was rejected for a loose panel.in the roof and I had it repaired there in Shreveport. The guys on the roll side seem to get the stuff cranked out rather quickly if there aren't any production problems.

    I've never unloaded the bales at the mill before though. Did at a satellite location and it was rather quick.

    I could be worse. You could be at Bio Papel in Prewitt, NM where the guards will run you off the instant you are loaded even if you are just checking your map.

    Shoot, they must be backed up from Christmas.

    At least there's a truckstop nearby, the Prewitt, NM place doesnt even have that.

    LOL. Yea 29 1/2 hrs to unload and 1 1/2 hrs to load.

    They only have three receiving docks and they were using one of them for their trucks.

    Any Ablertsons load in North Salt lake city is usually 10 hours. I NEVER went there unless I had an appointment time. Was stuck at a Kitty litter plant in Colony Wyoming. The potato plant in ontario, Oregon was usually a several hour wait to get a door and then a few hours to load as well. Jesus, I don't miss running reefer at all. But back then getting detention was almost unheard of.
