Food Lion Salisbury, NC

Trump can help the truckers is he's made aware of it. Maybe www.OOIDA.com will come to the rescue. They have the horsepower to get his attention.

 

I would hold my breath on thrump hope I'm wrong but the uber president is one of his advisors the same one that owns the Otto truck and want to replace you and me

 

Good, that means there are plenty of assets to go after the first time Otto hurts someone.

 

This is good to know. I send a lot of trucks to this DC in the season. Thanks!

 

So, when you leave California, you need to leave at such a time to arrive at Salisbury Food Lion at precisely 1 hour before your appointment but not before 04:00. You should predict traffic and weather and travel time down to the minute. If you can't do that you should not be a truck driver

I hate that part of trucking dealing with appointment at virtually every load and unload ... having to manage your time PRECISELY towards the end of the trip.

• Don't give yourself too much grace period
• Don't drag your feet too much
• Don't stage too far out
• Don't expect your preferred spot to be available, have plan B and maybe C
• Always anticipate exact traffic and weather issues that will occur
• Always anticipate exact traffic and weather issues that will not occur
• Always know the exact length of the line leading into the gate and the speed at which the guards and check-in clerks will work that day

Do all this and you'll be fine. Mess up one or more of them, and you're screwed [at more and more places every year] Mayberry and Barney Fife don't like you unless you're backed up to a dock putting their groceries in the local warehouse so they'll be in the store the next day.

 

I was forever banned from shipping because of the fact that the last time I did not stop near the gate to open the trailer doors for verification.

 

wouldn't breaking the seal on the door cause the receiver not to take your load?

 

Probably on the way out?
