Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I swear, this company would #### up a wet dream. I got my new touch access card 3 days ago. Went to use it to get in the Indy terminal to do 3 of the 4s' (spit, ####, shower, just not shave) and ...it won't ####ing work. Touch the pad and it flashes red, blue, green and back to red. I oughta take a dump right in front of the front door and put a note on it telling them to get their ######## system tested before they completely lock everyone out...but that would go against company policy of doing things the halfass way.


Continued- as with everything this company does, the terminals are almost clueless as to how to do these new cards. They weren't trained, they were just given a stack of cards and a piece of paper. Turns out, Marietta put my card number in the system incorrectly. (The system has more characters than the cards - I guess for future expansion)...when entering the card number, they're supposed to put 0's in for the extra characters...but the extra 0's go at the front of the card number and Marietta put them at the end. The receptionist at Indy had to ask the other office people what to do, and that's when she found out about how to enter the card number. They need to change the name of this company to "Seat of the Pants Trucking"... This is the new picture on the contacts list

 

My unload in Battleboro went a lot better than a lot of the reviews said. Was in and out in 1.5 hrs, and no lumper fee. My drop and hook in Tarboro went about as fast as humanly possible. I am still in a rotten mood, I hate this time of the year anyway, but with all the F'd up loads and my fur buddy being shot, I am in an even worse mood. So, instead of pushing to get this load to Lebanon, IN as fast as I normally would, I stopped at the Mebane Petro, then made it to the Indy yard yesterday and will deliver this morning. They have me pre-planned on an Indy to Clearfield, UT load for Monday. But, then I will be in spitting distance of the shipper that screwed up that load before Thanksgiving, so I suspect I will be heading there next. The reverse psychology is working. When I was pushing for miles, they kept handing me 300 mile/day loads. Now that I have told my travel agent that I couldn't care any less about pushing hard and running my nads off....the loads are turning more towards what I used to run, but after that KS Tyson load, I have chosen to only run 450-500 max per day, sometimes less, with one exception. Yesterday was just under 600 because there was a bit of snow coming into the Indy area overnight and I didn't want to have to deal with traffic and snow during the morning mahem so I pushed to the Indy yard.
