I just had the dumbest conversation with a dispatcher at the Jackson Ms. terminal. I ordered a new pallet jack and specifically stated with the shipper that no semi for delivery as my street is not accessible. I called Jackson terminal to confirm and told them again about the access and be sure to not send a trailer. I said that I would be glad to pick it up at terminal and save the hassle and was informed that it would be additional charge for me to pick it up. WTF! I have been in the industry since 1969 and never had any experience like this. So I got a phone call from the driver that he couldn't get into my street and I had to go up to the main county road and get it with my pickup. Never again Averitt.
Dispatchers?

Ordered trailer tires, like I’ve done for years.
Usually it’s FedWrecks or DHL.
Once it was Averitt, and the driver couldn’t find my address.
I gave directions, dude still got lost because he wouldn’t follow the directions.
So I had to drive 100 miles to their terminal and pick them up, and my thanks were to back to a dock and load them myself.
I now have a different tire supplier as well.
Wont take a chance of them using that company who charged for delivery that was never made.
I never signed any BoL either so if they showed that, it was a forgery.
