Hopper, Dump O/O's & Drivers

I'm at PCS Nitrogen in Augusta, GA picking up Urea.

This place is the pickiest I've ever seen. Watched a safety video, then got my trailer rejected because I didnt' have a wash ticket from today. Didn't look at it, didn't matter what I carried, policy is policy. All too happy to send me across the street for a $70 washout that took 3 minutes. Now back here and waiting more. Mandatory tarp inspection every 6 months, no one in that area for half hour or more, then next phase and no one here either. Guy came out, had to sign how I wanted it loaded and no more than 50k regardless of tare weight. They have a million and one ways to bite into the bottom line here on top of time.

They can get all of us once right?

 

Aren't they part of Nationwide?

 

They sound like jerks, or at least corporate yes men. Like Cargill! I hauled some wheat for them a few summers back from one elevator to another, wouldn't let me load over 78,800, like they are a higher power than the DOT or something. How much have I spent on aluminum stuff to get the truck lighter and then they act like that?? I'd put them on your list of least favorite places to go to!

 

I really don't know. I just went to an agent, he shopped my stats and they came back with the best price. If it's important I could find out.

 

The loaders here erred in my favor anyway. Pulling out at 79,400.

See you all in Kentucky (Springfield)!

 

Careful here they might only pays fer the 50k

 

Hauled rock last 2 days with no breakdowns. Things are looking up.
