Welcome to Wilmer. Good folks there. I’ve been to Wilmer many times. You both have excellent attitudes.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks! 🤩😃

[@hellofriendsoftheworld]

Excelente video and content, thank you guys. Just if it possible try to choose other kind of background music because is too distracted and the music vibes and like a mystery movie, and doesn't much at all with your beautiful content. THANK YOU GUYS FOR YOUR CHANNEL

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks for feedback!

[@geraldjones8032]

Enjoyed the tour. A very nice Crete facility. Nice that these facilities include showers and a lounge. Thanks for posting. You and Kevin do nice job on these videos. Catch you next time.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thank you!!! 🤩

[@narvik9035]

Wilmer, TX would be the location where my orientation would be.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Nice!!! They’re about to undergo some renovations. But hopefully all smooth for you! If our videos have been helpful to you we’d be very grateful if you would give them our referral code, SLOKEV. It’s a great way to support the channel. Best of luck at orientation! Hope to meet you some day!!!

[@curtis7599]

I only go there if I have to stay in that landfill region of northern Texas. It is good for terminals to be in bad areas though because of not having to stay at dangerous truck stops such as Dallas. My place is in Denton which is why I cannot be local. Everyone in that region are Nascar drivers on the road. I only like to go to northern Texas when I go "home". I wish I "lived" in Nebraska.

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Ahhhhh…now we understand why you don’t want to drive local. Yes…traffic in Dallas and Houston is not enjoyable. 😳 No income tax in Texas…that’s a benefit.

It is also getting worse from Denton to Oklahoma.

Seems so. Never checked how far it is from the terminal. Who ruined it for everyone?

[@edsullivan344]

hey be advice if you tour mechanicsburg terminal its very nice terminal but one thing gets be upset there they never stock enuf towels for shower so if you pan to shower there bring your own towel almost 99% of the time they are out of towels i dont know why they cant stock enf towels all the other terminals with showers no problem stock towels but for some reason every time i pan to shower there never any towels other than that very nice terminal

[@TheJoyofTrucking]

Thanks for that heads up. We’ll pack our towels. We found lack of towels to be an issue in Marietta. ☹️
