    I was late this morning for a pick up too. I was at Toys R Us in Lee's Summit. Backed in at 3:45 pm. Was empty at 5:30 am. Had to be 45 miles up the road at 6, but trailer needed washing out. DM told me it was a service failure but I think he took care of it because of how long I was at the last place.

    No I just rolled. He took care of it though. It's on the bills. Was supposed to be a driver assist, and I went in, and they looked at me like I had ten heads. Then I found out why. 8,000 pieces, 187different items. He told me it would take 10-12 hours. I called my DM and said no way. They paid the $100

    187 different items....

    That would be like those Candy orders I did one time. 5 hours detention pay for 1/3 of trailer. 7 hours for the other 2/3 trailer

    Wow....... That's insane. I haven't heard anything on detention on it yet, usually takes a while. I already scanned the bills in but I'll Rescan them whenever I get the detention info.

    Question: Who is "they"? And the $100? Could you have been stuck with that? Is that a Gordon policy?
