Suspense on 3-Stop Delivery in NJ & PA

This past Friday, we had a wild time in New Jersey and Philadelphia. The places we went were extremely tight and our customers were not able to get our trailer unloaded within a reasonable amount of time. It was kind of stressful on us because we had plans to be in Findlay the following day, if the following load worked out properly. 
  And our first customer we delivered to, we spent the night right on the property. We got woken up during the night so we could move for one of the grocery store company drivers. When it was our earliest opportunity to check in, we had to wait for a variety of other vendors to unload their product. It wasn’t there, but that’s just the way it goes.
  Our second  customer Was in Garwood New Jersey, not too far from Jersey City, and the worst of New Jersey. Because the street and unloading area was fully congested, we had to circle around the neighborhood for a while before we could simply pause anywhere. Some of the corners I had to negotiate were extremely tight. It took a few hours for the unloading area to become empty enough for us to enter. When it was our time to get in, we had to have another delivery vehicles moved so that we could maneuver into the unloading dock. It was a wild chore, also because the facility was set up for much smaller trucks. 
  The grocery store in Philadelphia was extremely glad when we came with their much desired rate. They got us unloaded quickly, after an easy entrance into their unloading area.
