    I have committed various high crimes against truly bad shippers. You would think if you were banned long enough, as in years they forget.

    They never do.

    I don;t mind loading or dealing with bad places, but only once. If I have to I'll engineer a ban. So I never ever have to worry about them ever again.

    I told the forklift guy

    "im heavy on drives move a couple bundles to back. "

    " u should be good driver"

    " no im not, im heavy on drives, just move the first 2 bundles to the back and it should be good"

    " this not my first day loading a truck , i always load them like this"

    "This aint my first day driving, im heavy on drives, move them to the back or ill go find a forklift and do it myself"

    Well he finally moved them and it took exactly the weight off that i needed according to my air gauge. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Scaled it out at the petro just now and im now 33480 on drives. The weight of those 2 bundles was about 1k according to stickers on freight.

    Dumb propane jockeys , i think some of them #### with me just because im young

    I had one forklift yell at me in the dock "GET OUT OF THERE YOU &^%$"

    I roared back at him F-Off you tinpot, MY truck, MY trailer, MY load. Its loaded right or not at all. Which is it going to be!" (Im sorting pallets to shift a thousand pounds of boxes around...)

    HE runs off and the dock bosses and more suits get involved. As if I am some sort of 8 year old escaped from school being hauled to truant or something. Its disgusting.

    What part of legal loading do they not understand?!

    Never mind boxes weighing 50 ton that go onto ships...

    I cant believe i was so stupid to put those crappy brinks padlocks on my chain and binder storage on my headache rack. Well i never ran a open heacache rack before and all the road salt welded those locks shut. Broke both my keys off inside the key hole. Hit the lock a good 20 times with the square end of my winch bar and they popped right off. Chalk that one up to a lesson learned

    When I started this game, I looked 15 at best.

    Didn't take people long to work out I was one agro kid. Lol

    I finally look just old enough that the bs has slowed down. Almost 20 yrs later

    I may be just a rookie. I have learned a few things over time. One of the things I learned is; my truck and trailer.
    Load it my way or take it off. Thats the one thing people seem to be afraid of. Never be scared to tell them to get the carp off the trailer.
