    I picked up a Proctor & Gamble load yesterday in Albany, GA. I was told the appointment was for today at 1am at BJ's in Woodstock, GA, 200 miles. Besides the fact that's really ###### miles, my load got rejected, they said it was supposed to be here last week! WTF! Gawd I hate JIT loads!!!

    Haha, I had a load like that one time. Luckily it was a rail load. Picked it up in Harrisburg, PA at the NS Rutherford facility. 2 stopper going to C&S in New Jersey. First stop they rejected all 6 pallets. Turns out they were the EXACT same pallets they had rejected like a month before and sent back. So, back on the rail it went since the 2nd stop wouldn't take those 6 pallets off just to get at their own product... gotta love lumpers.

    Ah well, that 2nd stop was one of those all day unload places anyway, so can't say I upset anyway. And I still got paid for the day, so that's why I can laugh about it.

    Stuff has GOT to suck for yall O/Os though. How do they compensate you for crap like this?

    Man.......stories like these make me glad I haul the freight I haul.
    Mostly inter/intra-plant moves or products needed for every day living.
    Load rejection would necessitate a visit from any one of several alphabet Government agencies.

    I'm not an OO.

    The load got accepted after all. Someone eventually came out to my truck and told me to put it in a door and took it all. Who knows what their deal was.

    I was pissed.
