    Those crews are all on vacation. Looks like you are stuck with one crew of lumpers, therefore, one door.

    Or when you wait for a door. Wait..an hour or two...then get a door. You back in, set the brakes, chock the wheels, hop in the cab to jump on TTR when the yard dog pulls up a minute later to ask you to back into a different dock.

    Yeah, that lil place is always like that. Don't really know why. Lots better parking at the Queen City 1 or 2 exits west. Also out past the split at the Spaceway. On my way to Baltimore so kicked back till 0230 at the Petro in Glade Springs. One more round then call it a week. Y'all have a good one!

    Had to wait one extra hr at the dock this morning... but nice DSP will make sure I am paid detention for that... :yes2557: Did a drop & hook at co. warehouse in PA that involved dropping a trailer, pulling another from its spot, dropping it in the parking lot filled up with cars, then hooking to the first trailer and putting it where the second one was, unhooking and hooking to the second trailer... :biggrin_2552: That made me sweat a little... Got truck and trailer washed at Blue Beacon in CT, took a nice long shower and now parked for the night at this huge yard, in front of another truck from my co... waiting for the delivery event tomorrow morning... This is CT...

    After event is over tomorrow and all media pictures are taken, will rush to my next shipper in VA... hopefully they will have a place for me to park there overnight.
