    The worst load I ever had was a 107 stop load for 7/11 stores in a 53' used about 10 feet of the trailer it was the hotdog roller machines.

    Took 3 days to off load all of them had like 60+ deliveries in Detroit then less than 20 in Toledo, Buffalo and Rochester.

    The owner was PI$$ED to no end when he found out that they gave that load because he had a guy with a 15 foot box truck lined up to deliver them.

    although i agree with you in principle. the part in red has for the most part does not exist in the majority of brains in america anymore. Most just do as told no matter what the circumstances are. i am not talking about LEO'S specifically but in general in all areas of our lives. this is proven by the denny's manager in bellvue , il asking paying officers of the law to leave the resturants because they were carrying thier weapons. how stupid is that.

    At the (EDIT- it was C&S warehouse) in Upper Marlborough MD (Washington DC) I arrived 2 hours early after driving all through the night. 4 hours after my appointment time they finally got me in a door right around 04:30. I couldn't stay awake any longer- I took the dog out to squeeze a lemon, climbed into my sleeper not thinking at all to set my alarm. The place was so busy! I figured they'd come and bang on my door when they needed the dock empty I really never thought what had happened would be allowed!

    I woke up at around 22:00 later at that.

    I fell asleep in the door. No one thought to wake me up. They lost (threw it away) my paper work assuming I'd left it. The strangest part; When I woke up- the place was just as busy as when I'd gone to sleep. It was crazy!

    I had 10 hours of detention at a seed plant. Was a nice $640 detention. I'd do that 3 times a week if I could.

    About 5 years ago, wake fern foods Elizabeth nj, sat there for 2.5 days because some moron at USA truck didn't schedule the delivery appt with them and they couldn't squeeze me in anywhere! That's USA truck for ya tho, I quit shortly after, no detention or layover pay on that either I might add!
