    I hear you!--I feel the same way--If they don't load me in 2hours I say"see ya--I'm going to eat" So you better be done in 1-2more hours!!(depends how hungry I am) Then when I get back and they still aren't done I tell em "Now you've really done it!" You #### well better have this done by time I get up! Then I take a nap. When I get up and they still ain't done, I really get mad and tell em "I'm going for coffee and I ain't bringin you F*****S ANY.
    Now Take THAT!!!
    Works for me every time!
    Just my $.02!!

    I picked up from AB St. Louis a couple of years ago & it was a gravy gig. I took my break # Big Duga's, across the river, then headed over there, first thing in the morning.

    I went through their inbound stuff, waited about ten minutes for a dock, backed in, and was pulling back through the outbound lanes shortly afterward. I think the whole process took an hour and ten minutes from in-bound check to getting my bills on the out-bound side.

    When I made my delivery in North Carolina, at a AB Distributor there, it was no more than an hour between letting them know I had a load for them until the time I was pulling away from the dock.

    AB in Fort Collins,CO you better pack Breakfast,Lunch and Dinner cause your gonna be there a good 14 hours past your appointment time, and get nothing but attitude from the flash lite cop who answers the phone when you call every hour to check your load status...

    AB in Williamsburg,VA has been great both times ive been there for live loads both times its been 2 hours

    AB in Merrimack,NH only delivered here and was in and out in less than 2 hours...

    Ah this old thread again. I never read all the replies. I will add ECU, sorry I didn't lie one bit. I have no reason to. And yes you can leave overweight because I did. They don't want you over gross. They don't care about your axles. And again they have different ways they handle the regulars from the broker live loads.

    After 12 hours there would you want to go back and get reworked when you have no scales in front of you on a short trip? It's been so long ago I can't remember all the details now but I think the guard gave me the option of going back and I said no.

    I picked up there earlier this week. I must have pissed off some drivers as I came in because I had just pulled around into the staging area when they called me on the CB to a door. I was there maybe 2 hours at the most and nearly half that time was waiting to get out because I had to rescale my load twice just to be safe. Ended up with 11,7XX, 33,9xx and 33,9xx. I was happy with that, lol!

    I'm at the St. Louis brewery right now and had an 8a appointment. Got here at 7:40a and it's now 4p. This is pathetic.

    I swore off AB products after the treatment drivers received at their Williamsburg location years ago.
