as an oilfield hand, I have had days like that, got bad directions one night into a well spud down by elmore city oklahoma and went 3 miles down the wrong dirt path, no chance of backing out so I took down a fence and backed into farmer brown's pasture to get out of there, and yes I put the fence back up when I was done
Just what the heck is a "shag fee"?

Some one who finally made me aware of why there are lumper fee's. they are a total racket. My husband is doing refer right now and the fees for unloading are crazy. I used to work at a factory (made pancake syurp, honey, peanut better) I drove fork truck and loaded and unloaded many trucks. dont understand lumper fees. and we wonder why food is so expensive.

The whole grocery industry is this way because the normal public has no idea. Its just like the clothing industry. Both of these industries are a big racket that was started decades ago and now would be almost impossible to correct. My biggest concern (or complaint) is that the majority of the lumpers are illegals or welfare cases and make the money under the table. If the lumper companies hired regular workers I would be a little happier about paying the fees. But I would still be upset that it takes them extremely long to unload a truck.
I run a lot of Wal Mart loads that are all drops. I've never once been asked to pay a shag fee. But then again I'm going into their "dry" distribution centers and I pull the loads for Schneider. -
What makes it interesting is that many of these credit companies are huge mulit-national corporations that even the almighty Wal-Mart may use for financing certain endeavors. This is precisely why the Dist. Centers will NOT allow you to pay the 'shag' fee with this form of credit. These credit companies, working for you, would have NO qualm in flipping even Wal-Mart the bird in payment of a suspected fraudulent charge.
Wal-mart(or whomever is charging the shag fee) doesn't want to deal with this so they will NOT accept this form of payment.
