| 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? |

I put in two stints hauling cars. The first one I wasn't smart enough yet to stay out of residential areas. The second time I did it, I told the owner of the co and the dispatch right up front before I signed on the dotted line...... "I do not do residential pick ups or deliveries". Period, end of discussion. Any questions? I told them not to even bother to dispatch me on one because I wasn't going to do it. There are a couple reasons why I was that adamant. One of them has to do with Pittsburgh PA in the middle of the night in the middle of a snow storm. Just thinking about that one years ago still gets my heart rate up.

| I delver some loads of blood meal with hopper bottom . It's nothing but dehydrated blood from rendering plants . It's really dusty and gets all over the truck when loading . I ran into rain once right after loading and blood was running off the truck everywhere . I was on my way to VT once and a NY female DOT inspector decided she'd do a Level 1 - until she saw the bills and asked me what blood meal was . I told her I was carrying 25 tons of dehydrated blood and she sent me on my way . There are NO hopper loads out of the NE and I deadheaded all the way back to PA for a load of stone .

| It was 20 years ago for me, but do you still have to drag your wagon over all the curbs in Savannah? I'm talkin' about a 4' cut while only pulling a 48'.

| Delivered a skid of cardboard Cremetory boxes to a local Funeral home. as i was unloading, the woman waiting to sign the delivery reciept asks me" i hope all that wood isnt for us, can you take it with you?" there was a stack of ply wood strips 2'X7'. so i took them with me and dumped them in a dumpster behind the mall where my next stops were. 2 hours later my dispatcher calls and asked if there was wood missing froma prior delivery. had to crawl in the dumpster and get the wood and reload it and bring it back to the Funeral home. The wood was used to lay inside the boxes and the bodies lay on top of the wood. Welcome to the world of LTL. |

| Load of beef byproducts (YUK!) out of the Cargill plant in Plainview TX, bound for some damn place in AR... along with boxed beef for TX. The #### on the nose in the tubs peed blood everytime I stopped - at least a pint if not more. First time I saw it, I was walking back to the truck from a truckstop, and wondered, "Why is my drive tire bleeding!" Ain't no mystery no more... I know WHAT "Mystery Meat" is, and I ain't touchin' it! |

| While we're on the subject of the weirdest loads, I used to deliver mail to post offices. I would collect mail from the post offices on the way back that had to be sent out to the bigger cities as well. One day I was picking up the mail and there was a red and white thermos cooler sitting on top of a bunch of mail (at least I thought it was a cooler) I figured it was part of someones lunch so I grab it and low and behold there are these big stickers on it saying Caution HUMAN EYES Extremely Fragile. I didn't have to deliver them to the hospital though, I was told they went down by bus at night if you can believe that. The container I picked up was empty and was just being returned.
