Message:: [QUOTE="road_runner, post: 11175067, member: 83211"]Yeah.  That's exactly the correct response.  All the pieces were in the right spaces.  I had a signed DR and I cleared the shipment on my handheld.  I made the rookie mistake of lingering around long enough for them to send someone out to tell me I couldn't leave.  Then I went inside to see what the issue was when all I had to do was leave. When you close out a delivery you are done with it and there is no way to pull it back up (at least not with my company)  Even if the receiver finds damages a minute later as you are leaving, there is nothing you can do except to tell them to call up their shipper. All this did was leave a really bad taste in my mouth.  From now on as soon as they sign I will jump straight into my truck and leave.  I'll close out the delivery or pickup at my next stop.  It's a stupid lesson that I relearned the hard way. I managed to make all my deliveries that day but I lost so much time that I caught my last stop walking to her car in the parking lot.  She was shaking her head going "had I not need this shipment first thing in the morning, I would have send you on your way. Back in and I will reopen the dock".[/QUOTE]
