Walmart Steals from the Poor...

Yes, because they're the only customer that makes you wait for the appointment.

 

What are the "poor" doing in trucking?

 

There's plenty of receivers that "make" you wait until your appointment time. That's why they make an "appointment."

 

Exactly. That was my point. And the appointment time is always on the paper work from Wal-Mart. The only trucks not required to have an appointment are dedicated runs. Even though we run dedicated to Wal-Mart, if we take a W-M OTR run up to the DC in WY or even to Los Lunas NM we have to wait for the appointment time.

I hear a lot of OTR drivers tell each other that you can be early but I've never seen it happen at a DC. Some DCs may let you in a couple of hours early and dock the truck even, but you won't be unloaded early without a miracle.

Think of how many trucks a day that DC is getting. It's no different than most DCs of big companies.

 

i always found that if i read my bills--and maybe a phone call--makes for less headaches than relying on somebody elses instructions

 

like a LYING dispatcher or broker, perhaps?

 

They're all lying b*****ds aren't they?

 

yes when you get both dispatch and the broker lying--with different lies-its usually best to check over their work

 

You know who steals from the poor are those Dollar type stores. Here's one example, can you think of some more?:

8 - 13 gallon trash bags for $1.

40 - 13 gallon trash bags from Target $3.56
