Ok Guys here's what it is. My guy got there on time/early for 3.30 pick up appt. 4 trucks in front. Got to front 4.45 and was told his hard hat did not comply because it had no chin strap. But he could buy one from their facility opposite. It was his first visit so he thought, OK I learned something , no real problem. Out of the queue. Across the road to buy the necessary item. Back in the line, now 9 or 10 in front. After 4 hours plus he reached the front at 10.00 pm and was told his dunnage was not good enough, because the receiver was very particular about the loading of their steel. He had a good supply some new , some not, but in his opinion it was acceptable. Was told, guess what ? You can buy it across the street from their facility. At this point in time there were well over 20 trucks in the queue and even at an optimistic 20 mins per truck he figured re-entering would mean a minimum wait of 8 hours. He has been there 8 hours and faces further 8 hours minimum. I have 3 questions I would like your help with:
What should he do ? What would you have done ? What do you think he did actually did ?
I can tell you he is a Church going Christian. Conscientious and responsible family man. Intelligent and interesting guy. Proficient in martial arts, rock musician, helpful, amiable type who makes friends almost every where he goes. Tries hard to stay legal, is D & D free, but is concerned about the effects his job has on his health and sanity.
Has anyone had problems getting loaded at Gerdau Ameristeel, Midlothian TX
