Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Not sure how much of my Amazon shipping costs go towards insurance on their trailers, but I am a dissatisfied investor. Amazon Prime at their best (sorry for the water drops...it wasn't raining hard enough to use low, and the fastest intermittent left drops)


Notice anything missing







Oh, there it is. The state trooper caught Amazon trying to steal some guardrail with his trailer






The front trailer axle was pointing in a slightly different direction than the rear trailer axle.

 

My kids loved it...it made them popular in school. When they needed something, they could use the payphone in the lobby to call home. Their friends thought we were rich because we had our own toll free number.

 

Yeah, but they were pleased that everything was where it was supposed to be and not laying over or leaning. One thing I pride myself on is I arrive with 0 driver chargable freight claims. Hauled raw glass at WyMoore almost 3 years all over the US and eastern Canada and had 0 driver caused breakages. I recently delivered a load to Conagra in Troy, OH and the lady was tickled that the load was upright and damage free. She said that plant I picked up at in MO doesn't use adequate shrink wrap and they're having a hard time getting loads from them without a load shift issue. As a thanks from them I got a two handed bundle of Slim Jims of all sizes and flavors.

 

When I was with Silver Eagle we use to pick up bottled tea out of the Coke plant in Marietta, GA. They couldn't figure out why drivers kept having shifted loads until they realized that they were loading the tea too soon after brewing and bottling, and the warm tea was softening the plastic bottles just enough that they would fall over just from the smallest bump. They stored the pallets long enough to cool, then they would load them.

 

They couldn't afford it. Right after Mr. Acklie passed the rumor floated around that Werner was buying the company, but yet, we are still here.
