Rejected watermelon load due to damage

McLane in Temple(?) is absolutely ridiculous and Whole Foods isn't much better

 

Truth is the broker owns the melons in situations like this. While your waiting they are trying to sell them to someone else.

 

Well I'm local hourly so I could care less personally. If I wasn't getting paid for it I'd dump it in their yard and drive off!

 

It'd be nice to know what happened!!!!

 

I want watermelon now.... I had the pleasure of carving one last weekend before I left, and I didn't eat enough....lol

 

I had a rolls of paper rejected by RJ Donnely because there was ink on the rolls,I took puctures sent it to my boss,he went to the shipper which was only a couple miles from him,they took blame and talked RJ into accepting the load.

 

I delivered a load of condiments/sauces into US Foods in Vegas a little while back. Whatever reason they left a case of 4-1 gallon jugs of Franks Red Hot sauce on the tail because the box had the corner slightly crunched. I was on a super tight schedule and of course I got to my reload just as the loaders were going to lunch, with 3 or 4 trucks already in the docks waiting until they returned. One of the loaders walked by and gave me a door on his way out. He also, much to my benefit, ended up being a huge Franks Red Hot fan... I was loaded and gone before the other guys returned from lunch to touch the 3-4 trucks that arrived before me. Talk about some unhappy drivers.

 

First rule of hauling produce: Understand that you're dealing with people who would steal from their dying momma, and CYA accordingly.

 

Ever seen anyone pissed off while they eat watermelon???? Lol
