<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TallJoe, post: 9910991, member: 180515&quot;]A year later, Anno Domini 2020 .... similar experience.</p><p><br /></p><p>When booking the load, I specifically asked: &quot;What&#039;s the product and is it &quot;protect from freezing&quot;? &quot; No, No. It is consumer goods...No; the broker says.</p><p><br /></p><p>When arriving at the shipper &quot;Do I worry about it getting frozen?&quot; No. It is a baby food, it won&#039;t freeze.</p><p><br /></p><p>I signed the BOL and left. I did not care to notice &quot;protect from freezing&quot; note until later. <b>No excuse. </b>But would I have done anything, again...It would have been the 3rd time last 12 months...that I rejected a load at a shipper due to my concerns.&nbsp; Am I nuts?</p><p><br /></p><p>I opened the enveloped packing list and it is a variety of&nbsp; juices, not baby food.</p><p><br /></p><p>I called the shipper and she says &quot;You will be fine...We load it on vans all the time. If you were to drop the trailer for a few days in MN then maybe it would freeze but not in a day and a half&quot;&nbsp; OK.</p><p><br /></p><p>From the very broker through the shipper I was very,very, very effectively misled as to &quot;protect from freezing&quot; requirement, until after the trailer was loaded. What does that mean? Either I am paranoid, or they are reckless and in case this goes bad they want me to assume the risk of a cargo claim, if it does freeze and is rejected.&nbsp; If I were an owner of a retail store, I&#039;d reject frozen bottles of juices.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I arrive I will go inside to remove the strap and will take a close peek at those bottles. So f...curious as to what 12F overnight can do to them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Do I really need to read every little half arss sentence on the BOL? Am I better off presuming brokers and shippers to be scumbags trying to f me up at every corner? Should I have refused to leave the plant and had them offload the truck, waste another day?</p><p><br /></p><p>I am asking this rhetorically because&nbsp; obviously not only they want you to assume the risk but by their trickery tactics, they want you to be in a position that it is too late to say no. Their tactics are like this: &quot;It should not freeze...Well, if it does, we&#039;ll make them to pay.&quot; Or Am I paranoid about there being any tactics whatsoever? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie5" alt=":confused:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie12" alt="o_O" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>It is a comedy.</p><p>I was concerned about loading a risky product and I still let them load it.</p><p>&nbsp;LOL LOL LOL</p><p>I am such a weak dick!</p><p><br /></p><p>enough of this!</p><p>I think, I am getting myself a reefer.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie8" alt=":D" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie4" alt=":mad:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
