I've had a thought.. My dad's depot in Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane are opened ALL the time.. The depot's in Adelaide, Darwin, Perth and Townsville aren't but they give you a key (or remote) to get into the yard. So when we get our yard back will it be opened all the time for loading/unloading or what? Thats were it depends, If its a company's own yard then more times then not it is always open, whereas with woolies and other warehouses, they generally have time slots and open hours because really, would you want to get up at 2 am to go and unload the truck at work when it gets there lol? Probably not, but i would think AF's yard would be 24/7 |

yeh, most large companies would have the yard open all hours (woolworth's distribution and warehousing facilities are not like mobs sucj as, bunker, kalari, tnt, toll, etc).
At kalari, during bussiness hours the gates are open and after hours drivers have cards to swipe for the gates.

Thats how we did it in the boarding house, all our doors were opened by cards.
You would be able to unload at anytime at the AF yard because you would being doing it yourself.

 There are connections at the back of the trailer, which you connect the suzies from the front of the dolly. Then you connect the suzies to the front of the other trailer from the pogo stick on the dolly  |
