Default Where to unload car from transport carrier
I will be closing June 11 on a new home in Dunedin Village. The transporter with my car is scheduled to arrive right around that time. Since I will be really new, I don't have any idea of where to suggest I meet the truck to unload the car. I was thinking maybe a big box parking lot. Any suggestions in that area? Thanks so much!

The large transport trucks can not get into the narrow villages streets. We unloaded our car at WalMart. There is one on 441 in Leesburg. Makes it easier for them too.

That is not true. We live in a loop. They unloaded our car at our house.

The 53' moving van had no problem on my cul-de-sac.

I've seen transporters unloading at Regional Rec centers several times.

The rear parking area of Brownwood Paddock Square worked well for all of the tractor trailers that brought the Clydsdales in for their show there - should work for an auto trailer - and would be closer to Dunedin than a walmart or other shopping center I would think.

Thanks everyone. I like the idea of Brownwood Paddock Square. That will be close to me. He told me that he doesn't drive into gated areas. I had not thought of it. Thanks again as I think that fixes my problem!
