    The only reject load I ever got running Reefers was a case of 'Walking Taco' Lunchables

    Must be one of those crap places where you're not allowed in the dock. Otherwise, if no notes on the BOL, I'd grab a pallet jack and remove their #### from my trailer myself.

    I have little patience for stupid.

    From what I have been told by various truck drivers and warehouse people, UNION places absolutely FORBID the truck drivers from unloading their own trucks.

    Also, from what I have been told, some companies also FORBID their drivers from loading and unloading their trucks, for both insurance and workman's compensation reasons.

    Personally, I think that is wrong, however, there is no way to get around that without the truck driver risking the loss of his or her job.

    God bless every American and their families! God bless the U.S.A.!

    If I have a signed and clear BOL, and it's just a case of having left one pallet on board, they can shove their union sanctimony where the sun doesn't shine. I have to go. :cool:

    One of the best ever was a couple cases of Salsa handed to us by a shipper.

    That was a memorable trip cross country, it was good eating for the two of us.
