So do you want them to keep haggling or do you want tarps? I knew I hauled step-deck for a reason

The next shipper was a container yard. I called the broker and my dispatcher and between us it was decided to trash the product. I pulled up to the dumpster there at HD, cut them loose from the pallet, tossed it all in the dumpster, and off I went. Would have been nice if it was something I had a use for. Ah well.

None of the loads coming out of that shipper are tarped. The manager at that particular store was just being a right #####. You can't really tarp the stuff anyway. That one was a big jigsaw puzzle with 6 stops on it.

Loaded ice cream at a cold storage in Massachusetts, bound for places in Maine. Set the reefer for -20, and off I go. First place is a little joint west of Kennebunk - have to fork a pallet jack into the trailer to get it off. So after helping out, the receiver comes back and says he has half a pallet he is refusing. It's discontinued product he didn't order. Ok...

So finish my other two stops, and claims tells me to take it back, which I do. I get a door, and after a bit one of the freezer-heads comes out, tells me they can't take the product back. Why's that, I ask? It's melted. Say what??? Reefer was on -20 all day. So I wait a few minutes, go in and tell them I need access to their dock because claims wants pictures to document the condition of the goods. So I start taking pics, and pretty soon freezer-head comes out with a signed bill accepting the return.

The ice cream was good n' frozen still... they just didn't want to get stuck with a discontinued product that no one wanted.

Hum the quistion is box trl driver's smarter then flatbed drivers, i did this once , flatbed was parked next me , took his tarps, stowed away neetly behind my tractor, went in behind the store area too bultin board, i posted i had slighty used tarps for sale , after the cb went quite as he was asking around , he went in too eat, he past the ad, called me up and sold him his own tarps back, but the moral of this story is he was my best freind and we always jokes around like this on each other and now every time i see him i ask him how tarp are s doing, are they flying away,as i start too laugh he says nope , i got big chain and padlock and locks on all the doors now, o the fun we used too have with the wateress too, Everett.
