[QUOTE="Val_Caldera, post: 11767170, member: 316222"]ONCE, Northern Maryland, waited at a Customer 25 hours including Loading Time (last 2 hours). New Customer was still configuring their Computer System. 2 Other different Company Trucks waited same time. Company (Driving For An O. O. Leased On With PTL) offered $50.00 as "compensation". O. O. received it. - - - - Prior Driving Gig, Flatbed. Longest "wait time" of all Wait Times, about 1 hour for a Single 40K Coil, Loaded "SUICIDE For The Ride". Took 3-4 hours to Fully Secure Load because it was a mild 90 something in the shade with humidity AND Site requirements forced (or NO LOAD) wearing Long Sleeved Shirt, Long Pants, Steel Toe Boots, Hard Hat & Safety Glasses AND some chap cruised the Outside Securing Area in a Cart to "enforce" any "violations" of Dress Code. Also Had To TARP Coil or No Release from Yard OR Load Removed. Sparrows Point MD., Loads of Coils. Some "wait times" were dependent upon How Much Negativity The Check In/Security Lady Received. Some "drivers" waited HOURS. Compliments From I on Her Nail Polish Colors and other Factors seemed to work in My Favor as I "passed" the whiners, got loaded, passed them again leaving. Such Didn't Always Work With Everyone.
