    Not really sure what the NG is going to do, unless they are already trained, they aren't going to simply climb and work those cranes, I mean the small packers they use load/unload trains have a 3 week training period before they let the new guys loose, and even then, the new guys generally only do chassis flips for the first month till they get the hang of it, before they are allowed to work the trains.

    Easy fix. US puts a 120 day moratorium on any crap imported from China. That would clear out the system and people would learn thay don't need the stuff in the first place.

    A tanker load?? I have dropped tankers at customers that take days to unload. But usually grab the previous one that’s empty and leave or bobtail away.

    Try to work it out with the broker. If it doesn’t get anywhere after 24 hours put it in storage or a cold storage. You will have to take them to court to pay for the storage and re-delivery fee.You will have to have everything documented for court. You can’t keep your one truck tied up for two weeks. If you’re still lost you can always contact 00IDA
