Snackbar is chillin'....at Shaffer

I am.gonna start a segment of this thread called 'Problem of the day'.

Today's Problem of the day

Bananas unloaded without a problem, get to Greeley, dropped empty where we drop them (we have another cartage company wash them out and drop them at the meat plant's drop yard)...I bobtail to the JBS checkin and grab my loaded trailer, and proceed to the gate where you sign your bills (while sitting in the only exit lane), then pull out where you can send in your load call, only to discover...my load is loaded in a different order than what's on my load info from Lincoln. So, I message weekend op's and tell them they need to contact JBS, the load is loaded in a different order than what the load info said..the bills show Stop 1 is Melrose, Stop 2 is Chicago, stop 3 is Dupo...(pretty easy to read)...I get a reply 'what make you think they're loaded wrong'...because load info said Chicago was stop 1, and Melrose is stop 2...if I follow our info and get to Chicago, and Melrose's product is on the back...I will just drop this at the Joliet drop yard and the ants can carry it away for all I care at this point....so now I sit, waiting on the weekend brain trust to figure it out...wasting my day...I know this sounds weird coming from me, but I miss Wylie...things only got this screwed up once in a while rather than every friggin week.

 

Because the company set up the appointment times. According to them I deliver in Chicago at 8 am on Monday and Melrose at 3 pm Monday....when should I show up in the opposite order? Unfortunately I haven't found the time machine function on this truck so I can go back in time to deliver the 2nd stop at 8 am on the same day I delivered the 1st at 3 pm. I am about to just take it back and drop it on the JBS driveway and bobtail as far towards home as my fuel will get me, and Greyhound the rest of the way.

 

We aren't allowed, especially on meat loads. We are suppose to get CSR's to make contact with customers.

 

They finally came to their senses and told me to proceed towards the 1st 2 stops, they'll advise when new appointments are set...probably helped to tell them that I was either taking this load back to the shipper and dropping it in the middle of their driveway and bobtailing home or I get moving towards my deliveries.
