"Please call an hour before...."

I had a few winners, from apt deliveries with a.m. appts, loaded in the nose too 30 minute call b4 delivery.....I don't know how long one delivery will take to the next!! what if the forklift operator is new?! what if I can't find a receiver?! I usualy call when I get there....that way I get a break waiting for their dumb a&&!

 

Do you leave a message? My dad died and left me with all of his debt collectors. So I can't answer unknown numbers now. If you leave a message I can get back to quickly.

 

I used to haul concrete. Every once in a while a homeowner would describe what they wanted me to do with the concrete. I'd just laugh and say I can dump it in a big pile and after that it's all your! Usually I'd end up taking the load back... After they paid the full price for it. Common sense isn't so common.

 

Can you take it up my driveway? No.
But how am I to do it alone? Phone.
Phone? What phone.? Really lady?! Call for help!

 

We get it a lot, but i usually don't---because i don't have time.

Now, if it's the last stop of the day and i'm not in a rush, then yes i'll call b4.

Now as far as customers wanting you to do this and that: Remember that some people don't want to do anything at all in regards to receiving their product. i had one woman (from a federal gov't agency, social security administration to be exact) wanting me to ASSEMBLE the chairs i delivered AND take the empty boxes away. Federal government workers i tell ya.......

 

Not to get into anyone's business, but i thought when a person passes on, their debt goes with them. Doesn't get "transferred" to next of kin or anyone else?

Now, if you WANT to pay it off fine. But i don't think you're under any obligation, legally or even morally to do so?

 

True. But I'd rather keep a $300+k house and pay off $10k in debt.

 

Yeah, I hate it when they think your free mobile warehousing dedicated just for them. A lot of times, especially with P&D, you just can't give an ETA or a PTA, and some of the customers will leave a note on the door, asking you to drop their delivery, where I then just take a picture of the note, drop their load, and then go to my next stop.

 

A rare few of our regular consignees are always flaky about when they are available to receive...we actually have some who give written permission to deliver without signature....Hell, I even let myself in and use their forklift to unload if no one is around.

 

You are much easier going than I am, when they finally made up their mind to unload me the next morning I would not be there.
