Delivering Red Lobster Statesville,NC.

Hello folks!
Well, its not the best nite to be unloading, rain and snow, cold wind.The job has to be done after the store closes so we got started at 11pm. It is a slow process one piece at a time. They use a bobcat on the big pcs. But they cant put the bobcat in the trailer, no dock. There are traffic islands, plants, trees,and light poles to work around. The CASCADIA made it a lot easier.
Until next time be safe.
Dick
