    They had a debacle happen on loads out of SoCal to Pensacola fl...the agent from the SoCal office didn't bother making appts for any load to GE in Pensacola...causing as many as 40 trks to sit multiple days waiting to unload...i was one of them..what a joke..

    It's because of in case there is a fire, the chemicals in the air are toxic and you will have to put on a gas mask. With facial hair, you can't get a good seal on a gas mask. It's the same reason you have to shave in the military.

    Sounds like he should be paying you to sit around.

    I always pre call regardless of wait the notes say to be sure.

    Wow here's the deal .... nobody was allowed to call General Electric to schedule the appointment and then when the agent and decided to shook and jive... Nearly half the drivers they're lit up the phones at Louisville and the ownership got involved in on this one the agent only wanted to pay $250 A-day layover pay and Louisville said no way it's $500 A-day and that's exactly what everyone's getting...
