How much do you pay attention to trucks order of arrival?

Does saying something do any good or change anything for the better? Tell your boss, let the suits handle things, spare yourself the aggravation.
If the suits don't want to make things better things will never change.

 

i liken this to a visit to a doctors office, where there are like 8 doctors..

so many people there, each one getting in to see a doctor, and they just walked in, and you were there for an hour.

they were on time, and you were early, so you just have to sit and wait your turn. as thier doctor was running on time, or there was a cancellation.

or your doctor is running late due to extra work your doctor had to do with maybe 3 other patients before you, or the computers went down.

you're there, on time or a bit early..??

just sit and wait, hell you may even be able to supply a urine sample while waiting.!!!!!

 

what i underlined...

i worked for a company that had an "open appointment" at the CVS warehouses here in New England and all the way down in VA.

all i had to do was drive in, go inside, get a door number, back in, and they loaded me up with those totes, all empty, going down south to VA.

the looks i got for getting in and leaving fast was amazing.

but there are those companies that have "special open times" for the warehouses to move freight out of there fast, to make room for other stuff to be loaded onto the floor.

 

On a crane move, there can be 30+ trucks showing up for a small crane. The loading and unloading can go according to the components you get. The bigger your load, the more patience you’d better develop. Newer guys won’t understand the specialized world and they will become so angry that they will pop blood vessels.

It takes them awhile to learn that your crane crew need certain components in certain order and what order you arrive doesn’t mean a thing.

 

The one good thing about this is..... You're next! You're next and nobody can take that away from you! LoL

 

In my field of trucking (end dump) we pay very close attention to the order in which trucks arrive. Cut the line and there will be problems from name calling on the CB yup we have them and more importantly we use them! To a serious physical confrontation to getting banned from the plant . Most of the time the loader operators load us in the order in which we arrived so it pays to KNOW whos ahead and behind you. AND that is why I do NOT haul FOAK

 

Just picked this up from a drivers' forum in England:

My lad has been over to Holland picking up a load of eggs. He put this on Facebook and it just shows how different it can be compared to UK:

Loaded and gone, so different compared to the UK. I was early and they apologised I had to wait 10 minutes as their wagon had pulled in at same time as me with a full load. Backed on bay before I even got into the building half my empty trolleys were off. 6 people helping load the trailer and then they apologised again as there normally another 2 helping ( I couldn’t keep up anyway). All paperwork and a cuppa sat on table waiting for me.

World of difference. Here you’d get someone grunting at you in disgust that you had the gall to turn up and disrupt their day. No wonder so many EU drivers left in 2020 and didn’t come back.

I have to add though that I haven't always found it that polite in Europe.
