    I'm not a fan of people leaving their garbage on people's property, but you had left a bunch of piss jugs open and poured out by his door step, I would have understood totally. I don't understand the guy in the trailer. It wasn't any need to be that hateful.

    Grab the truck and make the turn, Pull the brakes in the middle of the road until you can clear, but don’t get too tight to the road crew so they can still move out of the way, ####ing up traffic is the easiest way to get them to help

    I had a lady at a steel company get up in my face about not calling 24 hrs in advance, loaded night before and was there in the am.
    When I told her no one but my mother can talk to me like that she got a stupid look and shut up.
    Told her I was leaving and would call in a day or two. She didn’t know I was just a few miles from the house, and I knew the steel was rushed ordered and going to customer that day.
    Everyone got real nice as they
    stopped me on the way out.
    She apologized.

    The thing is most of us will give him some slack for being mentally challenged, but one day a guy like that is going to ring the wrong bell. Plenty of guys looking for an excuse out there, and my guess is he’ll whimper like a little girl when someone hands it to him.

    Take pictures of the access road, send it over to who ever is your boss or responsible to pay you and let the bean counters sort the mess out. If they really wanted the product they’ll send some fork lifts out and maybe a small truck to get it off your truck bit by bit. No use stressing over it.

    Sounds like you’re that guy holding the wrong bell. Best that guard can do is hope the street coming up to the facility is clear and open, least you walk up to see what the story is.
