Where is everyone #5

Seems like not calling ahead is just asking for a delay. Why would you not want to coordinate to make it easier? People don't appreciate surprises

 

Thank you Sir.....

 

14°F wind is a blowin and im gonna have to woller around and fix more froze up well houses cause people too dam lazy to check on the heat lamps or elec heater they stuffed in there 3 yrs ago and complain aboot the 400$ bill .

 

The youngest just got off the phone. Hers froze up this morning too. She's got it thawed already and luckily no damage.

I was fixin to head up with the diesel heater.

 

Yes in the open deck world it is always a given to call ahead unlesd you know 100% you dont need to... In other trailer types i have no idea...

Alot of times my paperwork will say to call ahead 24hrs.. not sure if ur in position to do so but maybe raise the question to the powers that be, if your company required an appt time to unload it might put a stop to people showing up. as long as the comminication gets all the way down the chain to the truck driver.. which we know it never does.. actually that part has gotten so bad, that i automatically call and ask if i need an appt time or not. And half the time i do need one, when nobody told me anything..

 

I missed mine by 2 days last quarter. Even with 0 miles they still gave me like a 70 dollar fine.

 

Yep just payed. $50 fine for one day

 

If memory serves me, didn’t he actually post that?

 

Have and always schedule delivery appointments. Some of the places we go into have that problem of trucks just showing up. Fortunately most of them will tell the unscheduled truck to move out of the way because they have a scheduled delivery to unload.

 

17 in McMinnville this morning with a 20 mph north wind. I have a faucet in each end of the house running a small stream. Water bill is cheap compared to the alternative.
