Well guys, running milk to Platteville CO from Columbia MO, then i guess i’m running a LePrino load out of Fort Morgan to somewhere in Kansas. Guess we’re trying to secure a contract with Leprino. How are you guys doing? @Professor No-Name @bryan21384 @Metacoyote

 

Bit of drama with my potato load in Faison yesterday. Receiver didn't like the quality of the Frenchman's spuds. "Not fit for Walmart," they said. So I hàd to sit for 5 hours while their management haggled with Frenchman's management. They finally accepted them "under protest." I thought I was going to get a reset but they decided to do the recap thing and sent me to Sauer in Greenville. I ran out of time in Knoxville. Hopefully I'll have enough hours to make New Century by Sunday. I'd forgotten what a bear I-40 can be thru TN and NC when you're hauling near capacity weights. These Volvos pull pretty well though.

 

Receiver wanted to get a lower price from the shipper. This crap use to happen all the time with produce threaten to refuse it because of “quality” then get them to lower the price.

 

#### that sucks bro, never had a problem with those guys in Faison. By the way you might have seen it in your dispatch but you can park at that New Century receiver. Not much around there though.

 

Thank you. Which is the alarm button and how do you clear them? I would have a look myself but I'm pulling a dry van again.

 

Thanks, I may need to. Still have a long way to go and not a lot of time to go with.

 

They’ll be a little button kind of in the center of the console that says “Alarm” above or actually on button.

 

Also i misheard what Travis said about that load i’m picking up. It’s LePrino not Purina lmao. Man was I tired lol. Edited my post.

 

I was thinking the same thing. They wouldn't let me look at them and they told dispatch they had not unloaded them all when I know for a fact they had. Told me they were calling in a federal inspector. They got tired of me asking questions and asked me to wait in the truck. Then when they told me they were accepting them and asked for $40 for unloading, Hertel objected. Not really sure why. But he finally sent me a code, and when I went to their little office to pay them they told me to wait outside. It took at least 10 minutes for them to bring me my receipt and bol. All the while I could hear them talking and laughing inside. I felt positively slimed by the whole experience.

 

What customer is that??
