MY bad week

I actually pulled my truck up to the guard shack, shut it down and asked them politely for my door assignment.

They told me to go park it or they would refuse my load and then call the DOT on me.

Told them I was going to wait right there until I got my door assignment.

I pulled out my cell phone and called my dispatcher and then the "supervisor" showed up and threatened me again with calling the DOT. I let the "supervisor" talk to my dispatcher. Dispatcher asked me to please go park my truck.

A "radio rambo" started to get on the air about this time and really started to lay in to me. I then explained what really happened and that shut him up. A second driver got on the air and said that "they stopped receiving at 2 PM the previous day" I explained that there were two of us that got in at 6 to 6:20 PM and the other truck had been unloaded the night before. The radio went dead.

At 6:50, I was called again and told a door to back in to.
At 7:50, I was unloaded.

 

Been a good week for me so far. waited till tuesday to load heard the weather was bad up in Pa.
Got the "magic money maker" Expedited BIG piece weighed a whole 85 pounds paying 3500 from Bham to seabroook 1200 miles. unloaded and headed back to augusta ga mon del.
Never been to maine before it was cold there today.
One bad thing happened the load I got on cut a hole in my tarp, but it matches all the rest.

 

The initials of this place wouldn't be "S-V" by any chance...?

 

yop............

If I never go back to that dump, it's too soon.

 

Look on the other bright side...I only got 600 miles last week.

It sux, but it happens sometimes...

 

seems to be a common occurance with most of these grocery places though.

 

Not just groceries...heavy haul too.

 

Sat at Precision Strip from 1930 to 1300 the next day. Appointment was for 2200, got loaded at 0300, woke up at 1300

 

Betcha your 600 miles paid better than my 2700.
