    Ya, sitting at a grocery pickup from last night...

    got here early...

    the two numbers I have aren’t what they need. Call in to night dispatch who sends off an email... I wait... it’s now my pickup time I call again... no response from email... they try to call but no answer...

    I wait a couple more hours...
    nothing...
    F it, I’m going to bed...

    this morning I touch base with my awesome DM (no sarcasm, I like him) he’s like, are you at the right address? Yes but I will confirm.... well, they just need the CS number we gave you... yes, gave them both numbers three times... but hey, new shift... I’ll go beat a different horse... go back inside the shipping office... Yup... right name, right address, but nope, they don’t like my CSxxx number... they need one starting with a 37xxx

    ya, I love grocery.

    From the end of the video, it looks like driver was trying to maneuver a very sharp tight right turn between the RR Tracks and a raised roadway... guess backing up wasn’t an option as obviously there were several people onsite before the train arrived.

    100 yards behind him was the 4 ton bridge he went over with signs stating as such. Along with signs that said due to the high center of the RR tracks, no trucks allowed. I’m thinking this might just wipe out whatever raise we might have got this year. The last time we took on a train it cost the company 500K and that was 7 years ago.
