One crazy load....

Snapshot the screen or print out it out if you're able to...

 

If the product freezes and there is a claim you are one hundred percent liable no matter what the shipper verbally said. No way I would of signed that Bill as is.

 

What he said wipper. Once its on your wagon, its your problem; the dock guys couldn't care less.

You could go back there and breathe on it every once in a while...

 

For 42 miles I think he will be ok.

 

Tannersville is a drop 'n hook facility, where they do a cross dock operation. No telling how long it will sit out there in the yard.

 

I could be wrong but I was always taught if it's on the bills you better believe it needs to be correct. Or else we could just bust open trailers and apply new seals without any regard to what's on the bills.

If the bills say maintain at 50 degrees and the product freezes (or gets too hot) because it's in an uninsulated dry van Schneider IS going to throw YOU under the bus if a claim is filed or there are problems with the receiver due to the product not being the right temperature.

Kind of hard to believe you signed the bills without consulting the company first. Or at least getting clarification on the reefer load in a dry van deal.

What us the value of the load? Will your cargo insurance cover that or will the insurance company say "negligent driver " and come after you if #### goes South?

i'm assuming schneider has load boards that work like most others. you pull up loads for your specific type of trailer. not just loads in general for all trailer types. and, does schneider even HAVE refers? maybe he hauled a van load, from a refer plant.

i've hauled loads on a flatbed, from places that ship temp. specific loads. and normally use refers. it is what it is or the load would have been brokered refer trailers only.

on another not. i've hauled $900 loads going 90 miles. from landstar.
one saturday, i took 4 loads from landstar. from A to B. dh back to A. paid $11 per mile loaded.

 

Just my opinion, but I think enough red flags were raised here that it might have warranted a phone call to ops to say "So I'm on this load that is relaying to the yard in Gary, where the load will sit stationary until the next driver shows up to pick it up, and it says to maintain 50* yet I'm pulling this non-insulated orange dry van".

No way in **** I would have signed for that on the bills.

COVER YOUR ***.

 

Hell, if something happens and the #### hits the fan I'd just plead ignorance LOL
