Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

Funny thing happened when I came to pick up my load at the JBS plant here in Grand Island. During the inspection, when the guard went to inspect the inside of the trailer, she sniffed and said she was trying to identify the smell. I thought to myself, I smell cow poop, a waste water treatment plant (that you can see from the gate), rotting cow guts and blood...how in hell can you say you smell anything inside my trailer (that I couldn't smell when I opened it at the Lincoln yard to check to see if it was in useable condition.)

 

The guard at the plant says my load wasn't ready at 0330 and to park and wait for them to call. Shaffer sent me a message an hour ago saying my load was ready at 1530 yesterday. I hate JBS with a passion. Customers like this are another reason to transfer to Crete!!!

 

She punched the number in the computer, then told me to park and put me on the call list. She's at least my age, but that doesn't mean anything, it is Nebraska, maybe she majored in cow tipping in high school.

 

They're so overloaded with empties, it was tough to find an empty hole to drop my trailer. Looked like any given truckstop in Wyoming during a blizzard.

 

They can raise prices, but if they don't adjust their appointments then a lot of that increase will go to paying carriers detention. And the amount we drivers see is just a small amount of what the carriers charge per hour.
