Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Man I got to rant which im sure this have been wrote before but here it goes. Why is it whenever you called a customer or arrived at location they always ask what are you bringing or where is it coming from.

It definitely makes me wonder if they know what they be ordering.

 

"Whatcha got for me?!"
"IDK, whatever you ordered!"

 

"What did we order?"

"How should I know, I don't work here."

 

I’ve got two pallets for you, they’re coming from my trailer.

 

I swear there’s zero accountability for the shop that works on our equipment. We have 6 trailers out of service in the yard. Half our tractors are down. The tractors get towed to the hub that works on them. They break down after they were supposedly fixed. Then they get towed back. Ridiculous. We have 4 road units that were “put out of service” due to lack of freight that have been sitting for over a year now. I had to turn back and head back to the yard the other night and there were zero road units. I had to take a city tractor. The worthless mechanic that comes out to do repairs can’t even change a head light or fix a broken mudflap on a dolly. The dolly needing a mudflap has been sitting for at least 2 months now. Next time they tell me to take a city unit I’m just gonna go home. There are only rated for 52 or 54k lbs GVWR.

 

Whats everyones policy when it comes to inside delivery. Does yall company allows yall to bring the pallet jack inside the building knowing that it can scratch the floor.

 

I had a skid yesterday that went to a pot lab. It had some 55g drums of hydrogen peroxide 34%. I told the stoner that I had a pallet for them. He asked ME if I had a forklift to get it off wtf
