Adesa manville NJ disaster

Went to adesa manville today to pick up six cars going back up to one of my dealers in upstate NY.
I left at 5:30 this morning and got there a half hour before security opened.
It took them 3 hour because of limited staff just to get me my gate passes and the fun was just beginning.
In all it took them eight and half hours to get my cars pulled.
Why didn’t you just pull them yourself and get going you might ask?
Because your not allowed to right now!
There were at least 18 stingers there and another 4 or 5 highmounts all waiting for there cars and some had been there since the night before.
There was literally 1 guy pulling cars and one woman driving him back and forth to get the next one for all those car haulers in the transport lot.
I have never seen such #### show in my life.
They had 5 or 6 people in the main office but exactly 1 guy pulling cars.
I understand limited staff and social distancing but 1 guy to literally pull well over one hundred cars by himself ?
I wonder what corporate genius came up with this plan ?

 

You said it.
Managed to get home back upstate but couldn’t deliver because my 14 hour clock ran out.
I sure will be glad to get back on my POV long haul runs to Florida on Monday.
This short Haul dealer work is killing me with all these rules and understaffing.

 

Aw crap !
my radio is usually always on but sometimes I shut it off at night and forgot to turn it back on again the next day.
Definitely would have enjoyed the company.
Well I’ll be headed down again on Monday maybe we will cross paths again?

also while I’m thinking of it do you know where flaswamprat went ?
Haven’t seen him post here since February?

 

I hear you.
this has gone on way to long.
I am becoming increasingly afraid that a lot of businesses my not be able to weather this storm.
Right now my POV transports seem to be hanging in there but a lot of rescheduling is going on.
But who knows what that will look like in the fall with people watching their retirement accounts evaporate before their very eyes?

 

Yes I kind of stand out with the wrap on the truck lol
Stay safe and stay healthy.
