This used to be a great place to drop and hook. Easy simple process check in with the guard, drive to shipping, and your load was either ready or maybe it wasn't, but we could just drop the trailer and bobtail out no problems at all before.
Then there's now, where they have a yard dog on a power trip thinking he is the owner of the drop lot and has his own set of procedures he believes are simple but they just delay the drivers. Now you have to guess what to do depending if he is there or not cause not all yard dogs are the same. So if the tyrant is there, you check in with the guard, drive near the drop lot, and sit and wait for him to come to you. Once he arrives, you better have the trailer # you are picking up, or he will start to get angry after all that you still have to go to shipping. If your load isn't ready, then he tells you to leave with the trailer. He doesn't care if there might be another load that needs to be loaded in the trailer you're bringing in and says it'll get done when you come back for your load. He claims this process is easier for the driver.
This yard dog  needs to be gone so we as drivers can do our jobs quickly and easily instead of having to deal with a yard dog on an ego trip. Do better Hershy
