    But you don’t have to run the Pike to get from Winchester to Harrisburg...

    Oh, nothing like showing up somewhere with 9 skids at 15,000 lbs only to be told “I’m sorry. We’re closed for inventory”. :rolleyes:

    If any #### thing justifies getting socked with a redelivery charge, it’s that. :mad:

    Had something similar. Six skids on the tail of a 48 ft trailer. Each pallet was about 1,500 lbs. Customer didn't have room for it, so I had to swing it to an empty pup since I could not work around it . They could have done me a favor and at least nose load it. But no .

    Gets better.

    I wound up dropping those at the interline company so the driver with their freigh could bring them back.

    Stupid in the office told him leave them there so he could send him out to some do-nothing’s territory who’s too good to do pickups.

    Great, so now we can’t charge them for storage OR redelivery, and I’m sure the redelivery charge on a 14,000 pound order has to be astronomical. :banghead:

    This disgusted me, and I’m going to raise hell about it tomorrow morning. :mad:

    Go get 'em, Mack! I'm so glad we don't mess around with that interline crap.

    I reserve the right to slap the next fool that makes a bomb joke. Glad to hear that some maniac trying to murder innocent people is funny to you. :mad:
