Message:: [QUOTE="tscottme, post: 11934677, member: 19119"]Reefer customers are like Walmart DC in the old days. They schedule 25 loads per hour to arrive so that their employees can have non-stop work. The fact the customer is screwing up the 20 trucks that are going to have to wait hours to get unloaded is your problem, not the DCs problem. Certain customers will only sign contracts which expempt them from detention pay or have nearly impossible stipulations on their detention pay. Reefer depends on a lot of desperate O-Os or desperate small trucking companies eating the carp sandwich and saying "thank you" so they don't have to streamline their operation and and keep using drug-addict lumpers and Capt Bligh management techniques. As to the noise of the box behind the sleeper, where else in society would someone suggest putting a diesel engine on the other side of your bedroom wall will allow you to sleep better? It's something you get used to, like people that live beside a railroad track. It still disrupts your sleep.[/QUOTE]
