No one gives a CRAP

We are in a time crunch. Our PU Appt was at 7:30PM (DH of 135 miles) with Del at 5AM next day 350 miles away. We get to PU and the shipper says, "we won't load you until 12 AM". We ask why (there are no trucks on the premises) and they reply, "We will be taking our break". We tell them, "We won't be able to deliver on time because we will run out of HOS". They don't care.

WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS WORLD?! Ah...what am I saying? WELCOME TO THE TRUCKING INDUSTRY FOLKS!

 

PS: This is about TYSON NC

 

No, and I am not sure if this is a good thing or bad thing

 

Called. Got detention. But HATE to be late. And they are definitely on my #### list

 

The broker didn't promise to reschedule but said he would try. No we are not a team but I use "We" because its my dad and I. I handle back office and he handles the driving. Hoping to get my CDL soon too. Definitely a team, but not as in driving team

 

We booked the load this AM as he was going to SB to get 10 hours and all time back. The clock started at 5 PM ET. He was 135 miles away and arrived at PU at 7:27. His clock will run out at 7 AM ET. The load delivers at 5 AM ET. Lets say they really start loading at 12 AM (7 hours after the clock started) and it takes them 2 hours as they said (2 AM)- he cannot drive 350 miles 3 hours. He will be late. It will take him close to 6 hours in the mountainous road. He would arrive by 8 am but the hour before, his clock goes KAPUT.
