    They didn't give me any trouble. Just called me and directed me to Sapp bros/ Eagle truck wash to get the trailer washed out. 40mins to drive there, get washed, and drive back.
    After I got loaded I told them I was going to miss the appt.( Shipping details says deliver per appt 5/23 10AM) They responded with deliver as soon as legally possible. Then 5mins later they they asked why I will be late because this load delivers Friday. So paperwork says del 5/22, tablet says 5/23, and dispatch says deliver 5/24 and asap.

    Ngl it never even crossed my mind that I need to be looking for mold inside these trailers. But I know now...

    Yep now you know. It all just comes with experience. FYI the main things shippers look for is mold, blood, and how it smells. A heavy odor will leech into some products.

    That's a new one for me, I know the truck stop parking is very minimal there. Did you check Google maps?

    Someone did a number to a curb with this trailer I'm picking up at Hershey :D will definitely be stopping at the TA service center in Harrisburg before taking off with it. First trailer issue in a while, so not too upset.

    I've just never seen someone thump a curb hard enough to tear out a chunk down to the wire. There were a few other chunks taken out of it around the rest of the tire that were about the same size.

    Gives me an excuse to nap and do laundry for a couple hours while I wait til closer to 6am to harass Chris Snapchat-1872858319.jpg

    There’s a sheets about two miles away. But truckers path show that it’s always full. Only 12 spots. I’ll be there about 2:30. Gonna sit and watch for a spot to open up. Hopefully…

    So my reefer light just turned orange when a shipper put the first pallet on. Should I tell them to cancel the load till this gets inspected?

    It's more than likely just due to temp change upon opening the doors. Usually I'd run a defrost cycle once i closed it back up. Then monitor for maintaining temp. Orange or yellow usually meant that it went outside of temp parameters. If it don't straighten out than I'd call service dept.

    Thank you. The on call called me back and basically said the same thing. I've been here like 1.5 hrs getting loaded with the doors open so you're probably right. Why should I run a defrost cycle?
