    Just getting ready to leave Kenly, NC. My broker load yesterday turned out to be a total fluster cluck. I got to the pick up with 8 hours left on my clock, when I finally got loaded I had 2 hours left, and that's with me being the only truck there. So, after going ballistic with the 20 something freight specialist that insisted on calling me her buddy, (which I'm not) I guess she realized I was serious when I called her the last time yesterday and told her I was pulling away from the dock, empty, and was going to the truckstop to get something to eat. She insisted I accept the $50 comcheck for my troubles and to stay at the dock. I gladly took it finally got loaded and went to the truckstop to cash it. I explained to her my time is just as important as her's, her bosses and even the owner of her company. Victory for the little man.

    CH Robinson never had a good experience with them yet. They have always gave me attitude. They told Abilene that I refused a load when all I said was that I couldn't pick it up when they wanted it loaded. At least you got 50 bones for a wasted day. Better than nothing at all.

    Ok so you think that because you spent some money there that they owe you a parking spot ? You are whining people go in there everyday and spend more than you yet you want special treatment.

    I don't think anyone here has been whining or wants special treatment. But, if I can't park there, I don't spend my money there. I do understand why places don't want drivers there, be it the trash issue or city ordinance. No big deal. I just find another place to park. Try not to get your panties in a wad.

    I agree with what you said , personal I don't care if they trash every WM in the country. Just calling them truck haters because they won't let you park is whining. My panties will never be in a bunch over anything said here
