When a shipper hides drugs in your load

Yet ppl still work there. Without ppl working there, there would be no amazon. Stupid ppl are everywhere.

 

Minimum starting pay $15.00 per hour plus benefits from day one for warehouse workers. I wouldn't want to work there, but, there are worse jobs with no benefits. All a matter of perspective I guess.

 

exactly. Just ask the "West Memphis Three." They were innocent and eventually freed from prison. After 18 years.

 

This is why whenever I’m sent to our Laredo terminal to pickup a trailer that was loaded in Mexico I check the seals(typically 2-3 green straps wrapped around the doors by the shipper,plus 2-3 wire seals around the latches) and mark on the paperwork when and where the trailer was picked up,plus mark on there “PRELOADED TRAILER-SEAL INTACT”.

 

"When a shipper hides drugs in your load"

I charge an extra $50.

 

And look how often that happens. it makes news.
Of course innocent people are incarcerated, it happens but I've bigger things to worry on..lol

 

That happens in states that are aggressive with inspections. Indiana is definitely one of those states. Ohio is another one. I got inspected at the scale in Girard I think it was, or maybe Hubbard. I dont know which city they classify that scale as. I was hauling a load of tires from New Jersey. They broke the seal and put one of theirs on. They at least give you documentation on it. Still a pain in the rear though.

 

fair enough

 

We’re truckers, we’re “dangerous.” If you don’t believe that just look at the rich lawyers that are paying more in a month to Lamar for advertising than we pay for a truck. One of their biggest advertisements is protecting the public from us by stripping us of everything but our shorts in the event of an accident whether we are innocent or guilty.
