Would you pick up this load?

A 70 lb. pit bull helps. If he doesn't take a dump somewhere on that property,I will. If they have a restroom I will not give a courtesy flush. Let it marinate.

 

Be as annoying as possible and interrupt their work as much as possible. That or just take it back where it came from and let them know they refused to take it.

Never mind about taking it back. Since it's a pickup. Just GTFO.

 

Yes you should not have taken it.

IT don't matter what the customer pays, it is what you get paid.

If this is a brokered load, then that's on the broker if they want you to haul it.

If this is a company load, the company should step up and pay your detent time.

 

Just leave, go down the street somewhere and take a nap. Trust me, your phone will ring.

 

Wait!! You get paid for detention?! In that case my elementary and Jr high owes me a whole lotta money!!

 

Drop the trailer across the entrance / exit road and leave.

 

Best. Video. EVAR.

 

And the moment I saw that... I'd have called the broker/ customer and crumpled a piece of paper near the phone, saying, "You know what that is? The sound of your rate-con going in the trash can."

 

Appointment Sunday 8:00 - Sunday 16:00 and the NO DETENTION PAY should have been massive red flags

 

I once had to deal with a jack-ss yard dog who'd blocked my outbound in with empties and refused to move them. Even though I was asking nicely despite being soaked in a thunderstorm, he let me sit four hours waiting for dispatch to resolve situation. He further irritated me by saying Fleetmaster drivers couldn't drive. I told him to remember he said that, because payback is a b-tch, and he would soon be eating those words. I had a weekly inbound to pick up my load home for the weekend. From then on, I'd drop each inbound nose-to-nose with another loaded trailer as close as I could get it. First pic is of the outbound blocked in with empties, and how I dropped the next inbound. You can see the rainwater coming down the trailer sides like a waterfall, and I was walking around for about thirty minutes trying to figure out if I could get it out by moving something else. Second pic is bird's-eye view of the receiver and where I dropped it. If there hadn't been another trailer off the left side of my nose, I'd have jacked it in there even closer.
