    Send the broker the address to the nearest cold storage location. Inform them that Walmart has 4 hours to get this #### off my trailer or they have all the time in the world to go pick it up from cold storage themselves. Pick up my next load the following morning. I don't have time to waste over some petty BS like that.

    You screwed up. Not Wal-Mart. Not the broker. Not the shipper. the screw up is completely on the carrier and the driver. Be a big boy and accept responsibility for this.

    Or be a child and throw a Lil temper tantrum and threaten to take it to a cold storage facility. Their response will be too laugh at you because any one with a brain cell knows that the carrier has full liability for the freight until the bol is signed.

    must of been late checking in. Get checked in before the appointment time, and I was always called back at exactly 2 hours from the appointment time, regardless if it was 2 pallets or a full trailer.

    They must have went downhill from when I used to regularly deliver to many walmart DC's. Used to check in at an hour or even a bit more than 1 hour before, did all the steps never had any problems. Done and out of there in 2 to 3 hours max. Never much more than 2 past my appt. time though.
