Cargo in the sleeper berth

My reply to this puke of a dispatcher (who probably has a puke of a supervisor ordering him likewise) would be:

"I don't throw my trash in your bedroom, so you #### sure will not throw your trash in mine!!!"

Seriously though, I have taken a few boxes and packages of rejected product back home or to the office, but a small enough amount that it doesn't hinder the functionality of my sleeper. Most of it was rejected due to bad UCP codes, in perfectly fine shape, and delicious!

 

Exactly. When they tell you to dispose of it, they generally don't tell you how. In the reefer world that FRIDGE benefits... and usually means pack as much as your gonna eat into the truck, try and give the rest away, and toss it as a last resort.

Truckers are a suspicious bunch. I offered sliced deli ham packages to about a dozen trucks with the drivers sitting up front at a truck stop. Everyone turned me down except one. As soon as the other guys saw the one guy with an armful of good eats, they all came running.

 

There've been times I've had small boxes I might put in the floor by the passenger seat. Nobody ever really said anything about it either way. Say, for example, I've got a load of aluminum extrusions, and there's a cardboard box of fasteners. I never used my sleeper for that, though. That's my space, and I'm not a sharing kind of person.

 

Ha! Non of my students have liked how I drive. "Curb... curb... *pop* CURRRB!" I didn't care, I wasn't leasing back then so I wasn't paying for it. Now its, "Alright, I'm paying on this, anything happens to it while you drive, its coming out of your savings account."

Now back on topic, Depending on what it, I'll either say, "sure, little box, I got a place." Or, "What? that crate? OH NO, THAT IS MY SLEEPER, MAIL IT."
