Most stupid thing you heard...

We closed 15 minutes ago, you are not coming back until tomorrow with a new appointment.

 

Had a friend of a friend call me to haul a load of beans once upon a time.
I show up at the planned time to find nobody around.
A grain bin with no unload auger and a trailer load size pile of beans on the far side of the bin.
An old hay and grain elevator at the door of the bin.
And one shovel holding the door open.
The best part was when I got a call from the moron a few days later asking why I hadn't hauled it yet.

 

You have to scale before you tarp because it will change the weight...

 

(From a driver on the CB). "Sure it's safe to use your Jake brake on slick roads...why do you think they put ABS on modern trucks"

 

Just hang tight I'll straighten that out for you and you will be good to go

-my DM

 

you should have given him your key and say here you go deliver load,lol.

 

"Nah, those pallets don't weigh anything".

 

Actually it was a broker that insisted that a Hazmat load of flammable totes had to be tarped. When I mentioned that to the shipper they laughed. "So, he wants to hide the labels AND trap flammable fumes under the tarp!!??"

 

Showed up at an airport in SD with A load of de-icing fluid in 55 gal barrels and they said, no we don't have a forklift or dock, how do you usually unload them?
