My truck was banned from the yard because I chose not to allow them to needlessly keep me waiting for them to come lift the box. And yes, we are the customer when we enter those rails and should be treated as such! And yes, my issue is with the rails, we are treated w zero respect and our time has no value to them, if that is something that you've been conditioned to accept as part of the job, enjoy the treatment cuz it's only gonna get worse
Time to stand up drivers!

I would first stand up for parking crisis, i read this numbers in the article bellow , national average 1 out of 10 trucks has a place to park for mandatory breaks along the highways.
"The Root of the Problem
A central cause for the severe shortage of adequate truck parking is the more than 3 million truckers on U.S. roads and highways. Currently, there is only parking for 300,000 trucks according to Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). Only 36,000 of those parking spots are at rest areas and the remainder are located at truck stops."
Truck Parking Shortage Reaches Critical Status - Geotab Blog
In USA about 350-400,000 commercial trucks were sold over past 12 months, new trucks sales are topping record numbers 40,000/month ; I went to see some new hwy trucks last week here in Ontario Canada , but ,like never before, there are no new Volvos or Freightlinears available to pick up right away from dealer, have to wait 5-6 moths for a new truck.

The OP just doesn't get it.
To the OP: You are NOT the customer. YOU are providing a service to your customer and they are paying YOU for that service. You screwed this up and they decided not to be your customer anymore. I'd have banned you too.
Good luck in your future endeavors. I have a feeling you're going to need a lot of it...VIDEODROME, x1Heavy and 06driver Thank this. -
I can't talk right now , my mouth is full.
