Putting up with shippers / receivers ?

Some can be real winners,eh? When I get in a place like that, I do what I have to, and get out. I'll sit in the truck instead of have any more contact than needed. Then when I get to a decent one, I'll let them know I appreciate them. I've been invited into many a lunch room at a decent place, just by letting them know that.
The good and bad are just part of it, don't let it bother you, sometimes it's easier said than done.

 

they will NEVER HAVE the skills YOU HAVE, and the paycheck you EARN..you're way ahead of the game.....play thier games, and be done and outta there as quickly as possible..and when the weather is HOT and MUGGY, think about how they are melting, and you're in a cool cab....looking out at the world..>!!!

 

switch to flat bedding. The receivers are far happier to see that incoming delivery.

 

I made like a duck. I didn't give a #### about them or their attitudes. It was one way I kept sane. Let it go, bro. Those people aren't worth it. They probably hate their lives, but that's not your problem. Safe trip.

 

i have never actually had very many bad shippers or recievers--some of the walmart dc's they can be kind of high on them selfs--just try not to give them anything to complain about--be polite and such

oops forgot about one--an old guy real dork--hmm in ohio somplace with alcoa rims--he must have had the village idiot on the forklift--cause he loaded the trailer just down one side--then when i mentioned it to the shipper he was screaming "why wasnt i showing him what to do"--so kindly ponted out their rule of not being on the dock--then asked (told)him either take it off or load it right

 

Maybe it's a flatbed thing... never had that problem with receivers (but it's not to say I never had any at all - just not that particular one). Only shipper I've ever had that problem with was ISG Steel in Lackawana, NY.

 

Same as always--it is mind over matter
I don't mind since they don't matter
Besides I'll be 100 miles down the road in a couple of hours and their life will still suck!

 

I'm just wondering sometime with those warehouses whether thats why they have the sign up saying no guns allowed. With the rudeness of some packers and store man someone's bound to get cheesed off huh. i could tell you a few stories off hand but hey i feel your pain brother.
