The yard is large and workmanlike-gravel drives, heavy equipment moving around, and open dumping areas rather than a tidy parking lot. Pull into the booth lane first for directions; commercial trucks often have a separate traffic flow from pick-up trucks and trailers. Busy times can back up the line, so unloading may take longer than it looks from the road.
