Memphis on the warehouse side of street.

 

That is a deep hole, thanks for the warning.
My problem there seems to be the few times I've been there I end up having to wait for someone to move their truck from in front of the door I'm supposed to use. This morning there were 2 trucks in the way, and I couldn't back in even with the help of the 2 spotters that came out to help. I felt as usefull as trailer tails in a crossword then, and they even sent someone from the office out to get the 2 guys to move their trucks so I could get out of the way of the line that was forming behind the mess.

 

Yeah I hate when guys pull their trucks in front of the docks. You would think the 50 trucks sitting in the street would be a clue on where to park.

 

And if that didn't work the signs in the parking lot should. I saw a guy drive through the car parking lot today too in a semi. I'm not sure how he did it, and wasn't surprised when I had to wait for him to move too.

 

Yuck. I haven't been to Midwest in over a month and I don't miss it. I'm on a JD run right now that ends in Whitehouse Station, NJ so I'll probably be on the White Claw train next. Ew.

 

I have never ever see so many trucks in Albany. It must be the Trenton of the south.

 

I was only there once, and saw a gator footprint in the lot. I was really thorough looking under the trailer I picked up.

 

I heard there was one that lurks in the little pond there. Saw a photo taken at night of it's silhouette out where the broken trailers are parked in the far back forty there. I am extra careful if I am walking outside at night.

 

If you think that’s crazy from my understanding at Orlando International Airport the retention ponds that surround the tarmac and terminal areas are literally kept stocked with alligators as a natural security deterrent. You don’t see many fences around that area for a good reason-just about anyone who tries to transverse those ponds are going to regret it. Reportedly,in one of those ponds there’s a 13 footer appropriately named “Samsonite”!!
“Thems gators in them thar ponds!!”

 

This far away from getting to Trenton.
