Maybe people don’t realize, but I wanted him to stop. Trailers can encroach the side wall slightly.

You know what annoys me about P+D?
when your boss throws random deliveries on the truck because you’ll finish early, but they don’t make appointments or call the customer to verify the address.
I have two pallets incomplete address, and the terminal put me on hold for like 5mins. I’m just bring it back; was trying to see if the original BOL had the correct direction north or south.misterG and Gearjammin' Penguin Thank this. -

But I had two deliveries in the past that were waaay out in the middle of nowhere and/or on a short trailer. So even though I don't know where I am exactly going, I sure know how far out I have to go again tomorrow if I don't get it off. Worst of all, they may just send me out again in a 53 foot trailer and I'll be breaking things down cause I didn't get a liftgate that day.
Usually the shipping papers have everything that is not on the DR. I've also played phone tag with the shippers to get a good contact with the intended receiver. -
My problem is the city and rural area I service if you put NE instead of NW that can be a difference of an hour lmao.

Had to deliver a sofa in a box today at a realtors office in a very busy strip mall. Boy I pissed a lot of people off lol. 48’ trailer with the lift gate down in the parking lot. Had about 6 cars blocked in. No dock at the realtor. I dropped it in front of her door and said this isn’t gonna fit and went to secure my pallet jack. I couldn’t be a jerk so I asked her if she had anyone around to help me flip the box and carry it into the door. So she got some guy to help me get it in the door. I couldn’t see that far into my trailer before I left so I was ticked off when I started getting freight off and saw a dang sofa. End of rant. You all have a nice weekend!
Speed_Drums, misterG, dwells40 and 4 others Thank this. -

Did me a nice meet and turn today. IF I had enough seniority, I would definitely love being able to do a day time linehaul from Fargo to Belfield and back.
Unfortunately it’s a senior driver run for us.
I haven’t gone thru the training for triples yet, that’s coming soon from what I understand. Any help with that? Is basically the same as pulling doubles?
I’m a P&D driver right now, can’t work nights because I can’t sleep at all during the day, otherwise I’d be on the Fargo-Minneapolis night line haul.Attached Files:
