Dumbest shipper/receiver instructions

ELL

I used to do that at Walmart, then one day they caught on. My keys are in two pieces, one is ignition/door, the other is fuel key and side compartment/spare ignition. I would always hand them the ignition only key, then they changed the rules and wanted the whole thing. Ok, I had an extra key made, now they only get that one.

 

Menards stores are that way. Taking shingles off the side of a flatbed, in the middle of the yard? Gotta chock the wheels first....

 

When gate opens pull past gate slide tandems back, start reefer, set @ 33. Then go to guard shack for check-in/ inspection.

Pull forward, slide tandems, go to shack, he opens window says "CAN YOU READ!!!!", "Pull back around and do it again!!" shuts window walks away before I could say jack, I still tried though "BUT WAIT I'M LOADED!?!?! I waited he looked at me I motioned for him to come back but looked away... So I did the 1/4 mile drive back around. Pulled back up and could see him ready to fire off at me. As soon as he opened the "I'M UNLOADING!!", "What's your load #" tell him then it's tick-tock... Comes back and says this load is for an appointment @ noon tomorrow.

I was told it was FCFS so I call around and finally figure out that it is an appointment @ 11:00 the next day "#&$(%(&#_@#*$)" Seems the little fella at the shack was setting me up to be late... That was at Nestle. Still waiting to see if they pay me for the extra time involved was told they would but kept getting the run around so I just billed them what I wanted, chance of getting it, slim.

 

Arrive at American can in St Paul to pick up trailer bla bla bla going to Bennington VT and they have it loaded and sealed on a different trailer ( shipping insists it's the right trailer)....get to Vermont break seal and open door .
Trailer is empty !

 

You didn't feel the weight? I mean, yes can loads are usually only 20,000ish and that's hard to feel, but it's still there.

 

A load of empty soda cans weights about 8k , just like bein empty .

 

Oh yeah !!

 

Wow. A load of empty cat food cans weighs 22,000 at 240,000 cans in the box.

 

Been years ago and I think it was on a 48ft trailer too.
