    I’ve delivered a lot of wheels and tires to a lot of people in my job, mostly aftermarket wheels with what I saw @AModelCat once refer to as “rubber band tires”, but I’ve only seen ONE such shop who sells that crap that is not only still in business but the shipper doesn’t demand certified funds on COD shipments.

    That tells me they’re at least reputable and pay their bills, and I’ve been delivering to them now for 7 years. I try to send business their way when I can.

    That ground.. I have noticed as I age it seems to have gotten lower, if that is possible. So I guess that is why it is a longer trip from lying down to up. Seems progressive too, every year more.

    Means we got Shanghai'd to a degree.

    They got it figured out. But this isn't the first time. ( first time for us )

    Dude comes out at the dock, says," Load is on credit hold for that customer, but I'm going to load the truck. They typically get it handled."

    This sounds good right?

    Not so fast. If he just tells you it's on hold. You go fine, f it, bye bye. Wave bye byes now.

    However, now your loaded. Now they got you.

    Yea, bout two hours of circle jerk.

    Then dude loads it badly. 2K over on the drives.

    5 hours total to take a load INSIDE THE COMMUNIST STATE to someone that doesn't pay their bills. 40 extra miles looping to the nearest scale and back.

    I, we, us, won't do cod loads. I have them filtered out, don't even waste your breath asking.

    The truck has stopped.

    Even The OM's ### is kicked after wasting 18? 20? hours of our lives over the last three days for people that are............well that are f dumb. Or lazy. Or liars. Or all of the above.

    The OM basically demanded kitty time, so I'll update the trip tomorrow.

    Awful lot of bull #### to fit into a few days.

    But we REFUSE to submit to the forces of mask wearing, multiple fake vaccine oppressors.
