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?

Recket in springfield, Mo I had exactly that 18.5hrs for an unload.

Can't remember what the company name was but it was in TX and it was close to 18 hours

I am sure some flatbed drivers have some similar stories.

long time
I got to one of our customers in kentucky at 9.00 am and when I looked at the qualcomm again I noticed I had a 2200 appointment. I was really shocked because I had never had this happen before or since with Maverick I just found a corner in the lot out of the way and took a long nap.I got my 10 hour break out of the way and loaded late that night.and then ran with the load when I got it loaded....wonderman

I think 7 hrs is the worst that I've had. Thats about the limit to my patience too. I have a low tolerance for BS and with being O/O I can leave if I want.

18.5 hours (yep, that's EIGHTEEN and a half) for a live load. Got there at 5:30am and didn't leave til midnight. Appointment time was for 6am.

Totally unforgivable!

What's your worst?

Only 18 hours??
I waited for 41 hours in a potato field in Arizona because the conveyor broke down twice, and they had to order the parts.

Talking
Stevens ? ya mean the big shiney trucks with the wings ? Thats the one. AKA hurry up en wait. One advantage at Liberal, you'll get plenty time to go shopping at Wally World. But really, you've gotta start someplace and Stevens training should get you a job anywhere. You never know where they will send you. Great way to learn geography. You'll visit everyplace but the house. Well every 6 weeks or so you might get home. I think they call it paying your dues. Great if you're single or like to travel.

In all its not a bad place Tho this board makes them out to be evil. Its a job and a place to learn the ropes while getting decent miles.

Isn't life great !
