Longest Live Load/Unload? Can u top this?

Oh my god, Durabag is AWFUL! I snagged a load off them when I did a produce drop in Louisville, took them 10 hours to load 14 pallets on me! I roled in at around 0800 and about 1700 I was reserving parking at the TA down the road... didn't end up getting out until around 2100 if I recall correctly.

 

OK....how about arriving at Cargill in Plainview Tx at 1400hrs on a friday
and departing at Midnight on Sunday................

 

Wait .... what depart on sunday ????? Did u say dammmmmmm

 

Ok I am getting close to beating some of these , lol. And am getting irritated in the process. .

App. Time was 1300 , and I have been here for 19 hrs and they said they don't know how much longer . The worst part about this is , the trailer was supposed to be PREloaded when I got here ready to hook and go. . And yes I said preloaded ...this place sucks !!!!!!!!!!

 

Buddy of mine who is OO said he purposely started a fight with shipper at Cargill just so he would be banned and dispatchers wouldn't send him there ever again. Kind of funny. Lol and kind of stupid and genius too.

 

Was supposed to unload at 0700 Friday morning in Cambridge Mass. Loaded 1000 miles away Wednesday night, with no hours left. Called dispatch to reschedule for later that day. Was told crane couldn't be back till Monday at 0700. Sat for 2 days in a service plaza in upstate NY. They paid $750 in detention so it wasn't all bad.

 

4 years ago at a cold storage. My first trip. I plan on retiring on my per diem and detention pay...

 

Supervalu in MS has been my longest. I think I was there 8-9hours. C&S in NY took their sweet time too. But atleast I was able to spend the night there at C&S. Oh and Cargils sometimes take their sweet time. But you can stay there if you run out of hours. More shippers/receivers should do this if you are going to be there for a while. Going off on a side note Cargills been pissing me off lately. Mainly its the weight... But sometimes just a bunch of stuff. One time they had drive thru terrible snowy conditions(Chicago to IA),than wait all night, gave me a terrible trailer, and than when I got on their scale I was 80k exactly! I'm like really....

 

When picking up fresh produce near the Mexico border you have to wait for the crop to be picked. It's an all day wait and if there's a line of trucks ahead of you...its an all night wait. There has been times were I didn't get loaded until 4am.

 

I've had 24+ hour waits at Tyson and Bud on more than one occasion. It sort of SOP at those two places.
