Shippers & Receivers - Good or Bad Load O' Freight That Just Can't Wait. Had a good or bad experience with a shipper or receiver? Discuss grocery warehouses, lumpers, and anything dealing with pickups or deliveries here. Does that shipper let you park and sleep? Does the receiver FORCE you to get a lumper? Trucker Directions

10 days...had to wait for the weather to dry out...the jobsite got rained out several times. There were other trucks that were waiting also, some possiably longer waiting periods

So what the heck do you do in that kind of situation? That's 10 days the wheels aren't turning, 10 days you can't make a dime, essentially a 10 day unpaid suspension because of problems at the receiver that are no fault of your own. Do you have any recourse?

So I gotta wonder, in a case like this, what the Hell is the holdup? Do these receivers not have space to put the stuff you brought them? Or do they not have staff to unload it? WTF?
