Got chewed out yesterday at a customer.

There's been so many times i'd pick up or deliver in a great mood and left there with the worst attitude that stayed with me all day and sometimes on thru the next day.One guard I remember did get fired for how he spoke to the drivers a guy on the dock told me.I remember him quite well.He treated and talked to the drivers like they were in boot camp.Some customers just plain hate drivers.[QUOTE="semi" retired;4042536]Hi patty, so true. When I'd run into a crabby foreman or dock personnel, I was always very courteous, because I knew they wanted me to get upset. I was always SO GLAD I could leave the place, and not deal with those schmos all day, and I think they knew that and were envious.[/QUOTE]

 

Had to laugh at your last sentence,lol.You know some customers you've been to is like pulling teeth having to go back to that customer.

 

Welcome to Cali, where everybody drives like an ####### and acts like one too.well most of them anyway.that being said you're in Cali should toldem to go screw himself and went into your sleeper until you were unloaded.

 

That's too bad, I used to take eggs and cheese into SuperValu in Green Bay. I'd go there everyday(or every other day), so they knew me, and knew I got paid by the hour, but those guys would get off on making the drivers who were in a hurry, madder and madder. I always felt so bad for those drivers.

 

The mind reader hat was broken.

 

Some cust are just plain rude and there's nothing no one can do to change that.Its like they hate their job so the easiest person to take their anger out on is drivers.For the most part customers ive delivered to is about as nice as can be.Two in particular.I was scheduled to pick up a load of meat 10 am didn't get out of there till noon because they had trouble with their scale.That guy was so nice and apologetic.I took that to a packing house in Omaha and they were just as nice.I miss those 2 customers.[QUOTE="semi" retired;4042578]That's too bad, I used to take eggs and cheese into SuperValu in Green Bay.

Hope u fixed it so it doesn't break again or maybe that hat is wore out and need to buy a new one..

 

You call that getting chewed out? Good grief is your name Abe?

And I don't blame the guy you went to Canada and you were supposed to go to California come on driver.

 

Shippers and receivers seem to think that there is a universal set of rules that everyone uses so there is no reason we shouldn't know exactly how their process works.

I do my damndest to not let them get under my skin. It's simply not worth it.

 

So help the gal out and you will be amazed how quick you can get in and out of there! lol
