Tampa Convention Center

Hi folks
Delivering trade shows sometimes isnt to easy,finding the marshalling yard is the hardest part because nobody seems to know where it is.If you call the convevtion center,they dont know so you have to report to the center. They tell you ,you have to go to the yard sure I will can , you give directions.After you get to the yard turn in your paper work it gets a little easier. After you get unloaded you go back to the marshalling yard and get your paper work. It makes for a long day,but that is part of it Till next time be safe.
Dick
