Happened to me one time, I assumed a place wasn't open on the weekend so I took my time driving from NJ to Georgia all weekend, was before eld's, and got an earful come Monday when dispatch found out I accomplished nothing all weekend. Oh well, you live and learn I suppose

 

There’s an easy way to find out the operating hours for any business. Simply call them.

That said, yelling at a subordinate, co-worker, etc... is uncalled for.

That’ll get you sent home where I work. The owner makes that very clear when he goes through the employee handbook with you.

 

What if the Kentuckian is uncooperative?

 

So you picked up a load and didn’t ask when it delivers?
Yelling at you is not called for, but you as a driver should know your delivery date and time.
If no one told you ask, be proactive.

 

Yep..I always call shipper & Consignee to verify their hours..Has saved me a lot of grief.

 

Also, the ulterior motive is to see if I can pick up or deliver early.

 

Oh, I’ve found Kentuckians to be most cooperative, and generous, in every regard.
