wow if only more receivers handled problems this way .

This is one cust that appreciates the drivers and I bet come driver appreciation day they have a free bbq for all the drivers.

 

she was probably tired of dealing with people like me, who come to the window every 20 min and ask why they are not being unloaded

 

If that was the case I think her patience would have wore thin and not been so nice.probably would have said I'll call you when they're done quit coming to the window they re not going to get unloaded any faster,lol.

 

Actually it is pretty common practice in Laredo and other int'l x-dock locations....in one respect just due to space constraints---there is no where to park more n a couple trucks...and also since it really isn't first come etc....due to the fact most of the x-docks have no idea when YOUR load is going to come across....and they cannot load/unload anything until it gets there....

 

ouch 19th in line that could make for a long wait- now when they get to you latter this evening if they have tacos and cold beer then they get promoted to good receiver

 

Had a load like that in Laredo where they didn't know when it was going to cross. It was nearly 7pm and they were going to shut down. The shipper offered to let me drop the trailer in a dock so I could bobtail to the truckstop and have an easier time parking.

 

Our favorite mustard company in Springfield did that for me ... didn't know when the product was going to be ready. Told me I could drop the trailer on the door and come back in the AM ...
