    I do! The only downfall was, if you are out of hours, they force you off property anyway .

    I delivered to one place in a city out west somewhere - I don't remember who or where - that had a truck parking lot outside their main gate for drivers to use for their 10. It could handle about 30 trucks as I recall, as long as everyone parked close enough to each other, like they should. There was nothing else there, no food trucks, no port-a-potty, just free parking when you needed it. I wish all DC's would do that.

    I believe it is US Foods that has a staging area outside their gate and you can park there as well, overnight.

    Working out this far. I have my loads stacked. Off to Alabama, then I run over to MS to get a Holland mi load that I drop Thursday. Sitting at 1400 plus in two days. I think it will work out fine on this side.
