Pickups you wouldn't take...

Dude you could have gotten serious money for scrapping them!

 

Sarcasm lol

 

This wasn't refused, but it was humorous. I picked up at a place and the guy said. Im waiting on the guy to send me the bowls. I'm like huh? He said. You know the bowls, the bill of lading.

First time I ever heard it called that. Then he got them printed out and there wasn't anything filled out. Piece count. Skid count. Description. Class. Nothing. And with me being new to LTL, I had to call in and figure out how to get the class and what not. Of course from the guy I got the response, "well usually the other guy who picks it up just signs it and goes."

 

One time I was picking up a load of sauces for one of our chain customers and the shipping man thought he miscounted, but he didn't and then they made a big hubub about it and people from this sauce manufacturers office had to come down from there office and go in the freezer and recount all the sauces on the pallet. Turns out everything was fine, but you know they didn't want to short us.

 

Not really most scrap yards won't accept them

 

Here they do but hey I'm on the backwoods lol

 

A lot of the usps loads suck. I do not recommend them. I picked up from rr donnely in dansville ky. It had three stops in Atlanta. On the bills two of the three stops had incorrect street addresses and zip codes. I wound up sitting at my second stop for five hours waiting for 3 pallets to get pulled off. Also the second stop was a real tight squeeze to get in and out of.

 

I've refused a lot of small shipments that were either dirty, (car engines and/or transmissions for junk yards for an example, some not even having the oil drained completely out,) or were not packaged properly to avoid damage to either this freight, or other freight.
