I only pulled vans and used lumpers for about 6 months, it did cause some arguements when the lumpers got through and I ask how they wanted the check made out. lol This was back in 99, I hear the lumper situation has changed some.
How are you paying lumpers?

I did not have the temperment to deal with docks and bogus appointment times, so even though I bought 2 vans, they wound up parked in 6 months. Lumpers thinking I should pay them cash was just one of the problems, places requiring me to use a lumper was another one. appointments that only ment I had a set time to be there was a big one. lol

Did my own for years. good workout and extra cash. Some docks don't care. Others made life hell for a driver unload. Broken pallet jack, 2 hours to unload, breakdown every pallet for no reason..etc.
Before unloading, find out from your company what kind of receipt they require. Some customers will not honor a generic one written on a napkin.
