    Oh and without bothering to quote--I gotta say to the eggo load--Im betting there was a ton of breakdown and you pay for the work that was done--and it ain't quick--as for the frozen load in the door--Just a word for all of you new to pullin a reefer--with few exceptions--the docks frozen is unloaded at are usually cold enough to sustain product temp--most warehouses(I said most)allow you out there weather you hire a lumper or not--so go to your door and OPEN IT(if they do say anything--(just tell em you gotta get your load locks down or sumthin)usually as long as your product is FROZEN--and the dock door is open--you will be ok--
    Just my $.02

    I delivered to publix jacksonville and deerfield beach with a load of meat trays (styrafoam) , it took six hours at each place. I guess the stuff was too heavy to move in an efficient manner.
