I-95 about 100 miles south of Jax. Going Rincon GA. deliver tomorrow then have preplan to pickup in Rincon on Sunday. Guess I'm spending a day. And that is supposed to go to MD just south of Baltimore for Tuesday. Getting a little closer to home but cutting it close for thanksgiving. Oh forgot to mention shipper today in West Palm Beach. I guess we've never been there, no directions. Scrap paper on a little road. So I find a small abandoned lot next door to address and call. They tell me I have to go another street down to scale MT and come back. So this narrow street and they have a little gate I have to blind alley dock into with city busses zipping by. Then have to go get heavy weight. Thank god they got it first time overall weight good just had to slide tandem a couple holes.

 

Whats funny the shipper wanted to make sure i was going to the bol address. I am like yep sure am. Asked me multiple times if i was going somewhere else.

 

Anyhoo iam like a 100 miles out of route due to they swiched my routing on me.

 

I'd done plenty of blind bills while at Roehl, and that would send off some warning flags for me. I never made a secret of it not going where it was billed to, nor not coming from the alleged shipper. I generally did the Jedi-mind trick wave, while saying things in Obi-wan voice. It gives them some, limited opportunity to correct an error we wouldn't actually think of. like,

"Listen.. *IF* this is actually going to Tennessee, we've put the wrong crap on your truck."

/mindtrick-wave "You've put the wrong crap on my truck..."

 

I had a blind BOL shipment. Funny thing was both the shipper and consignee knew where it was coming from and by who, and where it was going and to who.
