    So i am at the shipper in breinigsville pa...a cr england drive at the front of the line explodes...starts yelling "i don't have time for a live load, this is a drop and hook, i need to be parked in 4 and a half hours, my 14 is running".
    She stomps off....i mention to her that there is a truck stop3 miles away, and a parking area with fuel/convience area ACROSS THE STREET, i mention loading takes anout an hour, maybe an hour for a door....i don't have time...ya yada yada...askes if she can start loading NOW, is told she can comeback later, or drop the trailer...
    i suggest dropping the trailer, going across the street, taking an 8, and coming back...actually SAVING time, salvaging the load time, ...says no, i started at 5 am, need a full 10...
    So i get to be first in line, do my thing....
    Go to leave...took 30+ minutes
    Parked in the middle of the lot...unable get get into an ok spot...
    I can't do this, it is beyonf my abilites, i am new, only been doing this 6 months...
    i say...get a easier spot...there are 9 lots...just don't use 9 (loaded inbound), tell the reciver the location, all will be fine....
    So i am still blocked in...
    She goes to another driver....he expainers to her the same thing...
    I finely get out...
    Drop my trailer in a spot with a blindside alley dock...hate them, took me a while, then found a "missing" trailer..took like hook to it....took like 1hr...and as i am going through security i see england, finely finished dropping the trailer, comming up behind me....

    I know EVERYBODY has a bad day....
    but 4+ hrs left...lol
    I run elogs....i guess this driver thought working anything past 10 hrs in a day was a hradship..

    But why do folks get mad at the poor old lady working shipping....
    I mean they are just doing a job like us...
    And almost 2 hrs to park and drop...
    no wonder why she needed 4 hrs to get parked...lol...

    Ya us CR England drivers have weekly conventions that we attend every Monday so we can stay practiced up on how to be mean unworthy people who should not be alive, let alone in a truck.

    Your profile says Trucker 0-1 years and your calling people newbies? Much less laughing at them? Grow up.

    Called heself a newbie...
    had more than enough time to liveload, and run to a truckstop...
    but chose to whine, complain, and cuss out the nearly elderly woman working shipping..several fellows drivers tried to help her out...
    But this driver CHOOSE to be miserable, and not try to make things work...
    attitude determins outcome, or atleast helps determine it.....and rather than work hard, she choose to srand around and #####....wasted like 1 hr she could have driven

    So, only CR England newbies get laughed at...... Hmmm. Funny, I've laughed at newbies of all companies, even from those who aren't even considered newbies but I guess only the CRE ones deserve to be in the spot light. Provocative.

    So it took you an hour to hook to a missing trailer and you are making fun of her?

    Perhaps because that "poor old lady working shipping" is a first rate b!tch that hates truck drivers? I've run into her in a few places over the years. . .:biggrin_2554:

    I don't know how he even hooked to it, if it was missing. . .:biggrin_25524:
