Where is everyone #2!!

Waiting in a long line at Blue Beacon @ Portage, WI. It's like geese flying north, a sure sign of spring.

 

Well sitting here in Greensboro. Got to the shipper at 7am. They start lding me and I see the piece is a lot smaller thatn I was told. ASk the shipper, he says you are getting this unit and the other guy is getting the wide piece.Huh?
Well there was a mix up and they had to off ld. the small piece. Then they shrink wrap it.
Do you know how well shrink wrap works in the cold rainy weather. They battled it for 4 hours. I'm like guys just call it a day and finish it tomorrow.. They said fine see you in the morning. The other guy they got him lded. and will shrink wrap his ld. tomorrow also..

 

Sounds like my week thus far Carl...

Stuck in Staten Island at Pratt paper.

 

Yea, we would of liked to go but seeing how it's shrink wrapped and tall. You know if the shrink wrap rips they are going to want the fat man to put a tarp on it. Not going to happen unless alot of money is being paid out, due to the fact the top is open. No roof and it's 11' 7" wide and 12' high on the ground..
So much for Fri. del. in Cheyenne..

 

Martin, Why did your dispatch not tell you that part of the ld. was in Peoria?? Brain fart or just being an arse?
Nothing like back tracking and like you said a waste of time, fuel and money

 

Keep me posted mate.
I will be loading in Dundalk Thursday now, just over 14 tall, 11'6"w.
Will be running 68, 79,70,74,80, then us30 into Id. Heading to Meridian.

Brain fart, not paying attention, so on and so forth. Nothing intentional, just dropped the ball.

I might be a little confused. The only driver I have with a red W9 was pulling a step with a tracked farm tractor. And he should have been down on I-70...weren't you heading across the North Side of Ohio?

I do like to hear about my drivers being courteous on the road...I am just not sure who to send the thanks to.
