Oil Dry Corp in Ochlocknee, GA - BAD

I've been here almost 4 hours. Got sent to a dock, got a few pallets, sat for an hour with no more movement in the trailer. Then they tell me I have to go to another building down the street for the rest of the load.

When I checked in at this second bldg I told the guy I was low on hours and already had waited at another door. I made a joke that he should let me jump the line, TOTALLY KIDDING, and he says "let me see what I can do". Comes back and says they have my product at a different dock and that they can load me right away over there. He said the yard guy was gonna pull a trailer out of a door to make room for me and I said "so you want me to back in when the door is open?" He says "no no you STAY WHERE YOU ARE (in a line of 6 trucks) and I'll come out there and let you know".

So he never came out, all the way up until I was at the front of the line at this building. When a door came open I went ahead and backed in. I saw him on the dock and asked him why he never came out and got me and he said "I told you to go to the other dock. You s'posed to be over at the other dock". I reminded him that he told me to stay where I was and that he was gonna come out there and then he says "well they don't have your product over there anyway. " So first he chastised me like **I** screwed up, only to tell me they couldn't have loaded me over there anyway. Wtf. When he said "let me see what i can do", he was supposedly checking to find out if they had any of my product over there. Came back and said yes. Now says no. Seriously, wtff? I said "so basically you were just jerking my chain. Thanks a lot". I'll prolly sit here another 4 hours for that comment, lol.


(I didn't chock my wheels. That'll teach 'em!) 😜

 

Everybody else was nice and friendly. Just that one guy didn't have a sense of humor when I joked about jumping the line. I think he thought I was serious and he thought he was gonna teach me a lesson, maybe. Idk. I maybe shouldn't have put BAD in the title just cuz of one jerk. Maybe I should have posted in the Rant section, lol

 

I didn't even ask if I could stay. Place is so crowded I just assumed they'd say no. I found a wide shoulder less than a mile down the road. Spent the next 8 hours there on the coldest night of the year with a broken bunk heater. 😱
