Waiting on Cranes to arrive and Forklifts stuck in mud has been the norm lately , but at least with that someone is on them to get things done and fast
Sitting at the Dock All Day...

Yeah...But you can MINIMIZE your percentage down to virtually nothing..HOW??
For Instance.......
Pulling a Flatbed I DO NOT.....
1. Move any Port Loads UNLESS they are 'Legal' and can be loaded with a simple forklift ( Small crates,Sheet steel or a small coil)
2.Minimal Job -site deliveries..(Only IF they are 'waiting' for me sitting on a lift truck
3.No farms..No Hay... No 'Used' Construction equipment........the Stuff is rarely ready to Load when you get there
My main focus and freight I haul are Smaller manufacturing/fabricating shops with little to NO waiting..Also no trucks to wait in line to load -
I do the same things you listed and have for years , my post was just to point out that you do end up sitting at times REGARDLESS of what you pull and BIG $ loads have hassles as well lately weather related of which customer is billed waiting time.

Kinda reminds me of Shearwood foods in maple heights Ohio or Miejer DC in Tipp city ohio....Shearwood foods....I was there 6 and a half hours for 4 skids to be unloaded. Miejer..... I was there 9 hours for 2 skids.... United States cold storage is no quickie either
Mike2633 Thanks this. -

best part is taking CA cheese back to WI
and transforming it into WI cheese
and it doesnt happen often anymore
but 2 food service warehouses 2 miles apart in Stockton Ca was 10.5 hours.............sighLast edited: May 15, 2014

^^^^Brian--for whatever reason---there is a MAJOR difference between the Mi Meijer DCs and Oh--maybe contract or outside influence--I do not know.....BUT we have 3 customers who ship to them--and we will not deliver to Tipp City--but take the Mi all the time---in and out.....
Mike2633 and RustyChops41 Thank this.
