    So I'm under a load that's going to Menards in Ballwin, Missouri. What are the chances that my reload will be Budweiser? Because I've never been to that brewery and by all accounts I've heard, that's a good thing.

    Anheuser Busch in Stl isnt that bad. Fairly easy to get in and out of, biggest worry is having to be re worked for being too heavy.

    It ain't that bad, man. Tell you what, I'd rather go there than Miller in Milwaukee. I don't miss that place at all.

    I
    I agree. St. Louis drop lot is big with lots of room to maneuver.
    Is the 55/64 bridge back open yet?

    I must have been the luckiest driver at Millis. I never had to have a load adjusted, at least not to my recollection.

    My fourth solo load had to be redone. It was from that recycling place in Louisville. I had picked up poly-coated scrap paper and according to the folks there, it was new to them and they were still learning how to load it.

    No idea, it's been a minute since I've been in Missouri. You bring up something worth mentioning. @Gremlin304 that place is an extremely easy pickup. However... getting in is a piece of cake. Getting out, not so much. If the ramps are still closed, you'll need a few instructions to get back on the highway. Holler if you get a load there. I'll pull up that area in Google maps and show you how I left. It's a little convoluted, but it is what it is. Gotta love construction. At least that place isn't the nightmare of the twin cities when the majority of their inner city ramps were shut down. Good times. Oh, the memories. Pass the shotgun, please.

    I should have rephrased that statement. Never had a beer load that needed messed with. There's a place in NY that was paper that I regularly struggled with. Gross weight was always fine. But the idiot loading the trailer never did it right. I had to babysit every one of their loads when they had me docked.

    Yes the bridge is open. Come out of Budweiser turn right on Broadway follow it straight to the Taco Bell on the corner. Take a left then stay in left lane and make an immediate(somewhat tight) right turn follow straight to 55. You'll be looking at Busch Stadium after you make that right. Easiest way out if there to get back to IL.
