Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

whats going on with the drivers that are in such a rush, i hate that were all on the same team and they act so inconsiderate. i backed into the dock at a shipper and UPS freight is there at the same time, the crew was on break and this dude from UPS is walking through the warehouse screaming at the top of his lungs " UPS " 4 second pause "UPS", and im looking at him like dude im not screaming and not walking around the WH or Dock lol.....

 

I was delivering at a Walmart and this usXpress driver with a Walmart trailer comes in (at the wrong door) and says "I'm with walmart I have priority" the reciever says "well your not in the live unload door he is". I take my one skid off and he stands around embarrassed. That dude wishes he was a walmart driver. They called in on him because he was way rude to boot.

 

Rumor is this guy was pissed because they were talking smack on the forum about him running with no lights on his back box. I may not go back to straighten things out if it has gotten this bad. It may just be an ugly rumor! Lol

 

USXPRESS lmao ! they really would have you move then off load a pallet, my company is now picking up the recycled batteries for walmart pretty easy....im waiting for that walmart plus to start, maybe theyll start offering local ltl services to their DC

 

UPS and ABF are fudging around out there LOL if their not shooting their trying to shaking a person off the hood of the truck,( ) i wonder if he took a break after the shootings lol ( )

 

Someone uninvited climbs on my hood they are getting the ride of their life!

 

hahahahahahhah

 

The irony of dealing with crappy oak harbor drivers and then someone I know that drives for them is now trying to recruit me. Lol.

Anyone have experience with the linehaul side if those guys?

 

I used to be a receiver at Walmart for 4 years before got my CDL and started driving. I had a similar experience with a US Xpress driver once. I knew he was a USX driver because I saw his truck on my camera flying thru the receiving lot.
Driver: rings doorbell and knocks on the door and shouts obnoxiously “WALMART DC! OPEN UP! I HAVE PRIORITY CLEAR THE DOCKS”
Me (on the other side of the door thru the window) : Ok you’re with the Walmart DC? May I please see your company issued badge?
Driver: What?
Me: you said you’re with a Walmart DC. Can I please see your company issued badge? All DC employees and drivers are issued them.
Driver: I don’t have one
Me: then you’re not a DC employee or a Walmart private fleet driver and will be received as such
Driver: stares blankly with stupid look on his face
Me: go back to your truck and wait your turn
About 45 mins later the trucks blocking the docks are checked in and docks are cleared. Then an ACTUAL Walmart driver pulls up and backs in. He asks me what’s the deal with the USX driver with the Walmart reefer out there? I said oh he’s in a hurry and said he has priority. Driver says “oh really? Well he’s gonna learn patience today!” Driver asked if it was ok if he went and shopped for a few things. I told him no problem. An hour later he comes back with his cart full of stuff and off he goes. That USX driver finally got backed in after waiting outside for almost 2 hours total. Suddenly he didn’t have priority. The guy was incredibly rude and had he not been so rude to begin with I would have gladly unloaded him and he would have been out of there in 15 minutes. The DC called and apparently the USX driver complained. I told them about the guys attitude and the Walmart driver backed me up (he was a regular who delivered a few times a week). I never did see that USX driver again. Now by nature I’m a pretty chill and laid back person and I would get trucks unloaded as quickly as possible but that USX driver was incredibly rude.
