    In 1996 I was there twice at the same time, my first and my last. I see that they haven't changed.

    I spent 12 hours there one night but it worked out good because I didn’t know where else I would have found parking in the middle of the night.

    I’ve been to most all of the places listed sans Amazon. They didn’t have much of a footprint when I was pulling van or reefer. Needless to say, that’s one aspect of OTR, I didn’t miss when I started pulling a pneumatic tanker locally.

    Here’s a head scratcher for Me. I take a truckload, or as few as 2 or 3 pallets (dry van) to the Walmart side in New Braunfels, TX and I’d be there 4 hours either way. But, I always took a truckload to the Sams Club side at the same place and I’d usually be leaving 30-45 minutes after I got there.

    UNFI in Denver was a 8+ hour deal the few times I went there. The Kroger distro in Fountain CO always hooked me up with having to wait 5-11 hours right before my hometime IN FOUNTAIN, @bryan21384 and the other Climate Express guys can vouch for that.
     
    Bud A., MACK E-6 and bryan21384 Thank this.

    I can vouch for both of those that's for sure. Though I did get lucky in Fountain once, and I got out in 4 hrs..UNFI took so long, I ordered a pizza to the truck lol
