    Forgot a major 1 and the most committed offence that has no justice for truckers.
    11 waiting for hours for a shipper to unload you when you arrive on time for your appointment. But will fine you and make you reschedule if your 5 mins. Late.

    I had a grocery warehouse do something similar. They gave me the wrong door number and admitted it was their mistake. Then told me I had to come back tomorrow because I was late for my appointment. I told them I'd been there since last night and they said , you're late because you weren't in the correct door at the appointment time. Typical grocery warehouse dirtbag power trip. Trucking company said, well just do what they say. After that, any grocery warehouse employee that messed with me got short stacked and I became an expert at that.

    The state required I pull through their Nazi checkpoint. After checking my papers and truck they held me hostage until I paid their fee.
