I'm delivering carpet rolls to SER Exposition Source here in Worcester, MA. When I checked in, the nice lady in the front office who reminded me of George Jung's mother in the movie "Blow" told me to go ahead and dock, the guy who unloads would be in shortly. When he came out to the truck to get the bills and packing list. I mentioned that I could have probably spent the night in their yard as its a small industrial park with a big lot. He said, "Shoot, you could have called Chuck (the contact) and I would have come unloaded you last night, I just live down the street!"
Too bad most places can't be cool like that.
Why can't they all be like this?

Biggest Habit I ever had when I was way early I'd ALWAYS call Receiver and ask if Ok to come in early or see if they had a cancellation they can put me in. (Walmart 90%time took me in day and days early on FAK.) Nothing to Dialing a cell. Worse can happen they say no. Still makes you professional one trying.
