At least you caught it in time before you left ...or even worse, for them to unbox the freight. Number of years ago I delivered a pallet meant for CED to a company called CES. Both deal with electrical supply and their freight is identical. Also didn't help that one was on Oak Street and the other Oak Business Circle and were within two blocks of each other. Of course I left and my dispatcher alerted me four stops later. The wrong customer of course dug into the pallet. So on top of having to backtrack and picking it up, I also nailed us a freight claim cause the shrinkwrap was no longer intact and several boxes were open. Victim of my own complacency. I wasn't even busy that day.

Asked my boss when I got in today.
"So I got hired on for linehaul, am I a linehaul driver? Or a city driver?"
His response.
"Your a linehaul city driver. Your bobtail's loaded, grab your pallet jack and go".650cat425, misterG, LoneCowboy and 2 others Thank this. -
Ran into another reason Thursday why I always tell new guys to scale their sets. I went to a building supply place for a pickup, supposedly 1 skid at 1000 lbs. It even had that on the BOL.
It was not one but TWO full skids of asphalt shingles, 6000 lbs at least.650cat425, The Shadow, misterG and 3 others Thank this. -

I did more city work than linehaul this week though. Apparently central is in on it and anytime my TM asks they just pull me off line and pawn me off to his demands.
Wouldn't be so bad except I never know when I'm going city and it doesn't pay for ####
