    Drop and hook load, supposed to be ready at 0430, magically turned into a live load! Got here at 0700, is now 1330 and they say at least another 4 hours! A company this big and they don't have their together any better than this...SMDH!:biggrin_25513:

    No brother, they admitted they were just "backed up". However, all the forklift drivers come outside to smoke every 10 minutes and keep pulling in empties to load while 9 trucks sit here and wait.

    Is this a paper plant? If so, this is the norm. Nothing new

    Actually they're giving me detention pay for it. Just pissed me off because I really hate coming to gp to start with and it was supposed to be ready at 0430. Oh well, bright side is I can park here! :)

    Try going to Bio Papel in Prewitt, NM. It will be an all nighter and they're courteous enough to throw you off the property as soon as you are loaded.

    Best paper mill in the country to go to is Greif Bros Corp in Riverville, Va. Ga/Pacific in Big Island is an all day affair. In Riverville, I have taken a load of scrap paper in, weighed in, went down the hill, unloaded, swept my trailer out, went to shipping and was told what dock my outbound load was in, got loaded and was out the gate within 2 hours.
