I was sitting there racking my brains attempting to figure out how to simply put 2 pads in one very long space.  Instead of say, one 65 or 70 foot long pull through, simply go say 110 feet and have two of them.  But I couldn't think how you could get 2 pull throughs on the same site. What if the one in the rear wants to leave before the one in the front?

See, I saw someone post something about this but I couldn't think how you could possibly  make that work.  Well, what just hit me is that you don't have 2 pull throughs.  You have one pull through that goes all the way up and then you have a back in site set up behind it.  

The problem with that scenario, at least in my mind?  What if the pull through leaves and the back in wants to stay for several days or even longer?  Some of these people stay in parks for weeks at a time before moving on.  I guess that pull through site could be temporarily turned into 2 back in sites once the pull through leaves.  Instead of pulling through, the space where the pull through left, the new occupant backs into it.  

I'm not really sure that's such a great idea, but maybe it helps utilize the land more efficiently.  

I dunno about that setup.  Not there yet, but definitely thinking about such things.  It would be impossible to have 2 pull throughs in the same lane unless you knew for sure the front one is leaving before the one behind it. That's just a bad idea in my mind.  If the rear pull through decided to leave earlier than they said, then what? Well aren't exactly stuck, but they are going to have to try to back that rig usually with a trailer out of there. Many of these people are not skilled enough to do any of that, hence the reason they want pull throughs. Or, they have the skill but they don't want to have to unhitch their trailer, hence the other reason to want a pull through spot.

2 days later, lol.  Down to Brownsville, plenty of empty trailers - they are trying once again to do away with detention pay - and back up today.  Met James, Taylor and the boys at a restaurant in Longview, had some din din, came home and about to go to bed.  I was going to just sleep in the truck, but I was encouraged to come home lol.  See the doggies.

However, I"m off to Oklahoma and I'm going to try and make it a one day trip tomorrow. It's going to be Sunday, usually in and out of the loading plant quicker than normal and the roads and traffic are always much lighter.  

It's "usually" the best day to drive anywhere, not just Oklahoma. But I"m going on mini vacation coming up Friday so they can't send me too far off right now.  

As for the property?  I drove by there again today - in the hopes that maybe they could have gotten an early start - no sign of that.  I suppose that is a hope in vain, but I had to try. It was only a couple miles out of the way going home.  

I'd get into other things, but it's bedtime and try to get some good sleep for along day tomorrow.
