    So basically meat plants? Lol I don't really remember speed being an issue but been over 10yrs since I've really been to one. The stench though... ugh

    Did it open up on its own or did a truck fall in and have to be lifted out?

    Picked up at a place called Catch-Up logistics in Chambersburg. You have to weave thru a moderately snug residential area, and by the way it smells around there, it must be close to a waste water treatment plant. Got there last night, had a 10 am appointment. Checked in at 9, was sent around the building to another building in front of the main building, which is down an alley that a truck has to do a cork screw turn to get into

    The only way to get out of the dock is turn left into the lot, then back into a "back up" area, then pull straight back out because there is a jersey barrier on your passenger side when you're at the dock, and the alley is too narrow to make the swing to just pull out.

    Nice enough people, and quick loading. They had me in, loaded and gone by 10. 42k lbs of Big Mac special sauce.

    They should sell it to TA; it still looks better than most of their lots.

    Show up to drop my loaded trailer at Hershey in Kennesaw then I was scheduled to pick up at the same facility but come to find out my load doesn’t exist and then when I call into dispatch CS put notes in the computer that the shipper didn’t have any empty trailers so more than likely the load was canceled, but yet nobody told me… something needs to be done with the CS people in this company

    It already has gates and half the parking lot has the parking spots stripped so you have to blind side. All they would have to do is change the card slide that opens the gate to a pay-to-leave machine. Hell, they wouldn't have to even hire any replacement shop personnel, our shop employees are about as slow as any T/A parts changers.
     
    D.Tibbitt, Friend, Lonesome and 3 others Thank this.

    Shipper turned the reefer off loaded trl with hershey products in the trl and temp rose to nearly 80 degrees and the shipper said it’s not a problem go ahead and take it..Lincoln said no..they either accept liability and sign off on it saying they’re responsible for it or unload the the entire trl and inspect it for damage before we will even consider leaving the property with it..bills haven’t been signed yet either
     
    DonRobbie, JB7, Old_n_gray and 6 others Thank this.
