Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

1st day back after hometime and....I am already sitting at a customer waiting on a live load (that was supposed to be preloaded), at the same customer I had to come back to before Christmas to drop my empty because they 'needed' it. I get here and there are DOZENS of empty Shaffer trailers here in the drop lot and I am the 7th Shaffer truck sitting here waiting to have a trailer live loaded. I already told Ops to start working on rescheduling because I am not driving my nads into the dirt because of another ####ed up load from another ####ed up customer. It took all of 2 hours for me to get in a ####ed up mood...this isn't gonna be a very good tour of duty.

 

Finally got out of the shipper. Another one of those "we'll call when loaded" and nobody called. I went to check on my trailer and....it wasn't at the dock I dropped it at, it was in a parking spot. And incidentally, the empty trailer that I had to take back to them Wednesday because they needed it, was still sitting empty in the same parking spot I dropped it in. There were maybe 4 or 5 loaded Shaffers there, the rest were empties. Goes to show how uninformed or disorganized our planners are.(I was told in the "drop the trailer" message last Wednesday from the planner that they had a need for empties at that customer). Which was total b.s. needless to say, my load won't deliver tomorrow on time, and I couldn't care any less, even if you put a gun to my head!!! It'll get there when it gets there, and if we lose the coffee creamer account, fine!! The various locations we pick that crap up from have caused me more loss of productivity that any grocery warehouse. They can shove their creamer where the sun don't shine.
