@Pintlehook ... Thanks for your reply about representing your Union... Best pro Union response I have heard in a very long time.
And that probably says more about you personally than anything.
Stay Safe,
MDPintlehook and dngrous_dime Thank this. -
I'm not sure what you mean -
born&raisedintheusa Thanks this.

Ask your company, nay. Demand detention time pay. If you are gonna baby sit your load because a bunch of illegals who cannot stand to be paid 300 dollars a trailer serveral times a day go on strike eff them. Write the name of the reciever down on a black book and refuse those loads ever again from anyone who tries to send you there.
Or better yet, get away from Reefer and into something else that wont send you to these stupid infanile labor #### places...
I have a reason for showing some edge. I spent a good part of my life in many of these places, breaking my back moving 48K out of the box every day or night and sometimes TWICE loading and unloading. I have no feelings what so ever for the over paid crybabies that strike when they feel owie in the afternoon.born&raisedintheusa Thanks this. -
I have a good question for you van/reefer guys..
Lets say you have a delivery at these Lumper/grocery houses and they REFUSED to let you unload it yourself, Because you Felt $300 was too much (Which it is) to pay for unloading......
Do you stand firm, on your belief, Or do you give in and pay that fee?
Or Better Yet ,Another scenario, lets simplify it eve more........Your in the Dock and You don't even want to unload it yourself NOR pay a Lumper....
Stand up? Or Give in?
Do you Take 1 for the team (like I would) and test their Bluff in Refusing product they will need?born&raisedintheusa Thanks this. -
I bump the dock and write a check.
And request detention time beyond 2 hours. -

I am sitting at a place now waiting to be unloaded by lumpers... I had the option to unload it but we are a no touch shipper.
So I just write the check.
You asked...
Stay Safe,
