I had one like that last monday. Only had 8 deliveries plus interline freight, and still couldn't get it done due to over length freight being loaded out of order, which on a monday is totally inexcusable.
First was a 25' long skid weighing 2300 lbs that I pulled to the back after unloading the interline freight. That got refused because someone decided at the last minute they wanted it to go somewhere else.
That required going straight to stop #4 to unload the 18' long crates of elevator parts left right on the back, and then back to the interline carrier a second time to rework what was left of the load and take their outbound. After that is what on to what was supposed to be stop #2, righT next door to where the refusal happened.
By the time I got done messing with all that, it was too late to deliver the 3 gaylords on the priority account going to a place about 45 minutes south.
Oh well. If they insist on hauling garbage, this is what happens.

Rants from the context of LTL/foodservice drivers. Not random O/O's with union axes to grind. Wanna vent about your time at Yellow? Great, but leave the union out of it. Half of us are union, half of us are not, and almost all of us will agree that smoking in a non-smoking truck is a jerk move and that's putting it nicely.
Carry on, I'll get the popcorn since I'm on vacation this week.
