The only boy on the docks is me... almost every customer I have gone to stands there and watches me get it off the trailer....
I looked at the three 1 piece stops there all couches so yea I need to back in lol
I should be able to get it done but I know how well things work out for me when time is tight lol

That's not the post they are talking about SammyCat.
AT already edited it.
Though we all know it wasn't posted in malice, but still a good idea to not post truck numbers. One never knows when they might run into that driver at one of those many truck stops out there.
sammycat Thanks this. -

So just like I figured somthing went wrong with this load lol
Time was VERY tight as it was to try and do 10 stops in one day, but I thought I might be able to pull it off......
So my first stop opened at 8am so I get there at 7:30am thinking I can get there back in and be all ready when they are, well an Ashley Furniture driver was thinking the same thing and he spent the night backed into the dock lol But he only held me up for about 15 min so not that big of a deal..
Then I get to the next stop (here's where I made my mistake) I let the customer hold there paper work (because even if I try to check the stuff off myself they end up taking it from me because they wanna see what there getting) so aparently these 2 guys don't know there product very well and were telling me I was missing 2 pieces. Well all I could see is 25 couches and then a bunch of boxes in the nose....they say were NOT getting any couches......Well the paper work Clearly said 1 COUCH and 1 MIRROR, well they tell me I'm missing 2 BIG Dressers, and I can see that there not in the trailer. So I can Dispatch no answer then I try like 10 other people and then after 45 min of phone calls and my head being about to explode
the customer comes out (this time its the manager) and he has the paper work and says I need 1 couch and one mirror....and I'm like OHHHH OK here they are! haha So all in all 1 hour wasted there 
Then the rest of my stops went fine no problems and was able to make up all my lost time BUT I still wasn't able to get to the last 2 stops They both would have had to stay hours late. And out of my 11 stops only one has an appointment time and thats the one for tomorrow, so I call them and the customer says "no problem we dont do appointments we receive 7:30am-2pm First come first serve"
So they basicly saved my butt on this one, I'm right around the corner from my next stop, and there all 5-15 minutes apart from each other and I only have 3 left, So I'm hoping by noon tomorrow to be empty.
Did anyone else Volenteer to stay out for Christmas???? I did! I like the sound of $500 Cha Ching! plus whatever miles and stops I do
Oh and its FREEZING in Iowa lol it's only 32! Burr
