TK....you at a retailer or a warehouse?
I overnight at my customers all the time (retailer). Most my appointments are 0600. Like you said, sometimes the customer comes in early or just wants to unload early, but Id just as soon sleep till the appointment. To prevent the overzealous stores from waking me Ill park the truck in the area...but, away from the customer. Basically hiding from them so they cannot see the truck.
I was at a Nabisco warehouse we run into a lot. I was in a coma when they woke me up at 02:30. I couldn't back up worth a crap either. 8) 8)

I'm at the Petro in Carlisle,PA. Looks like I'll be sitting here until Tuesday. Apparently nobody could get a hold of the Customer Friday,Saturday or today to schedule an appointment. The load was scheduled for delivery on Monday but an appointment hadn't been made yet. I've been trying to call them too and finally today a security guard answered the phone and said they were closed until Tuesday morning. I don't think I'll be getting home on time this particular time ! 8) 8)

Stuck in Houston, TX. I guess theres 250 trucks here all shutdown waiting for loads over the weekend... I'm screwed.

The worst part is that Yesterday on 59 in TX, I ran into a ton of these damn lovebugs... My truck is covered in these nasty bugs...
