Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Pissed a Walmart off today, it made me happy...I'm a terrible person lol. They thought I was gonna wait for the dock. Na na na, you got a ground level garage door and I got a lift gate...let's do this. They then said I had to wait for a door, I told them to call coke and reorder everything because I'm taking it back...it's amazing how they took it then lol. They don't even have to do anything with it so I don't know why they care? The merchandiser come in the am and puts it all on the shelves.

 

I love being able to do that.

 

I hated dealing with WMT when I was with PepsiCo.

Driver would call... "Walmart says that I have to pull their empty from the dock to back my trailer in".
Me: "Nope, f*** that, tell them we'll see them on their next scheduled delivery day"
Driver: "Manager says he's calling corporate"
Me: "Ok, tell them to let corporate know they are demanding we move their equipment with ours and if something happens that they'd want to hold us responsible for it."

This Walmart went over a month without a delivery because they wanted to be difficult. Upside was it accelerated product rotation lol. It wasn't until a WMT dm went in and saw a blown Pepsi set and empty register coolers and began to write emails demanding we pull the coolers off the registers that he got the truth of what was going on. Never had an issue after that.

 

man my old food service place did top/bottom pallets. so the top of the pallet might be stop 3 and the bottom stop 4. With no divider of course, you're just supposed to know (like why can't you just put in a piece of plastic so we know which stop is which.

the best is of course when they do it wrong and put stop 4 ON TOP OF stop 3.

That gets old really fast.

 

I could see moving everything twice pissing me off lol.
That was an average day in a package car at ups. 300 stops.... figure it out lol.

 

They don’t check it in?

 

They use ASN, it's a stupid easy check in process. Literally half the time to receive a multi pallet order.

 

Not that I'm aware of because I've seen merchandiser pushing still wrapped pallets thru the store. On a side note...you have a Les Paul jr? Because if you do I hope it has a p90 for all the goodness they bring.

 

It’s all good until there’s an audit and you have to scan it all. That sucks
