Somalia struck at LAX

So much for airport security.

 

The paperwork pushers shouldn’t give you bad info on the BOL…no disagreement. A bunch of them have an IQ and common sense problem too though so we all know how it goes out in the real world some days.

 

The problem is the driver, obviously could hardly comprehend the English language, so no matter what information Amazon gave him he wasn’t gonna be able to understand any of it to a point of being able to understand where to go… He should have never had a CDL should’ve never been behind the wheel of that truck

 

It's only a matter of time before some of these foreign goobers wind up doing a u-turn on a runway.

 

I done a handful of airport deliveries, mine was all jobsites doing actual work on a terminal or building and u end up in crap like this... Even with making phone calls its usually bad directions regardless... Im sure door slammer had no reason to be there

 

I’ve done thousands. Memphis, Chicago, Atlanta and Baltimore. Mainly aircraft engines, but also a few gangways and in ground fuel tanks. I don’t like doing the “always and never” talk, but every airport load I’ve ever delivered was on the cargo route. The biggest airport will have signs directing to the cargo holds. Now, depending on the size of the load, security may have special provisions…like a gate that’s normally blocked with a jersey barrier…but that’s the driver’s job to figure this out.

EDIT: Forgot to mention, when doing an airport delivery, you will have an importer/exporter that you sign in with and they will have an escort lead you to where you need to go, usually through a security checkpoint and then inside and around the runway. The main one coming to mind is Swissport International.

The big boys, like UPS, FedEx and Delta, will have their own section of airport, massive places always parking available and much simpler to deal with.
