Traffic Flow - Drive onto the practice field, flow of traffic is counter clockwise. See the ARROWS. Load from the FAR END of the stacks.
NEXT, I will have a binder of delivery sheets. When you arrive to deliver mulch, you'll drive up on to the practice field and SEE ME AT THE TENT. I will cut the delivery sheet(s) in half vertically and give half to you to take with you. You'll return it when you've made the delivery - Delivery Sheet Picture
