    That day is long gone. However the beer distributor I deliver to three times a week is a top notch facility with excellent workers. We're on a first name basis with with the warehouse guys there and consider them friends. Show up and we're unloaded and reloaded with backhaul empty kegs and pallets in under a 1/2 hour.

    I get detention too, we charge based on the customer/broker, our lowest rate is $75/hr up to $200/hr, if they hold me long enough that I can't get back same day, we charge a layover fee. Regardless of the detention rate, I get 30% of it, I've had loads were detention pay was equal to my base rate.

    “I’m a kind person, I’m kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me, then kindness is not what you’ll remember me for.”
    Al Capone

    I've never been banned but I've left an impression a few times. But I have a few rules in these situations.
    1- Speak softly. Never, ever raise your voice.
    2- Never cuss.
    3- Never name call.
    4- No peacocking. Keep a relaxed demeanor.
    5- Speak to the person as if they were a three year old throwing a tantrum. Also keep re-explaining and gently telling them they don't understand until they're about to have an aneurysm and try to kill you.:p

    As a big guy I can easily intimidate people so I have to be careful. Big guys always get the blame in a confrontation.
    So I learned to stay cool and calm while making the other guy loose their ####.

    I haven't gotten banned. One time I delivered a really heavy gear oil. They wanted me to sign off on a sheet there was no heal. I refused, then he said I couldn't leave. Then I repeat what he said to me twice and ask for his Manager. He refuses to get his Manager. I call my company, they blow me off. I tell the reciever I'm going to call the cops , since they are kidnapping me. I wasn't kidding. It got more weird and I got to leave. My company #####ed at me, I told them I don't care if you ever send me their I won't go. A stupid mixing plant out side of Philly. I wrote something on the BOL, like they refused to let me leave unless I said their was no heal, and they held me hostage. That's what got my company to ##### at me. "we bill with this paperwork". Lol. I'm leased on , I'm like why don't you have my back. Where am I in this equation. I was going to call 911 and you guys didn't have my back. People need to know what they are doing. That plant was a bunch of snarky counts.
