Running with JCT, Part Deux

I get to the second stop at Henningson Cold Storage in Twin Falls, ID, only to find out that I was not given the correct info to check in. They require BOL or PO # and will not check you in with a confirmation number.

 

Made it to the Sapulpa yard for a little bit of shop work. Let's see how long this takes.

 

Also, found out that you have to buy the pallets here for $9 each. Good thing JCT pays for that. They won't even assign you a door until the pallets are paid for.

 

Well that's messed up

 

Unbelievabe how corrupt this business is. Charge the carrier for pallets to ship YOUR product? How bout you call the person receiving your product and charge them for em? They are the ones who are going to end up with them anyway.

 

Finally got bills from the morons at Tyson. They had them for a while. Scaled three times and over by 20lbs on drives. Gonna burn fuel down to just over half tank and keep it there.

 

I agree with you there, but that is between the shipper, receiver, and the carrier. Nothing the driver can do but complain about the nickel and diming.

 

Maybe it feels safe around you and wants to be its only friend in the world. Sounds as if you have one of them nice fun trailers to pull.

 

Hence JarJar's post.

 

When you unload, demand the pallets back, then sell them at one of the pallet resellers that tend to hang around industrial parks & truck stops.
