    And they don't gripe about paying the demurrage/detention charges for making you wait either.

    In fact, here at the brewery right now, there's a new receiver (either vacation sub or he just bid this job) running back and forth between my truck and the brew house.

    He keeps forgetting steps in the process, and he's also helping the contractors to fix a blockage in the spent grain loading line.

    "Sorry. Gotta check (_______). Be right back."

    "Sorry. Just be a minute."
    "Sorry. Havin' one of those days."

    No problem, mister. I'm here, and ready when you are......

    Unloading now. Won't be any detention today. OK by me.

    Better than here, unloaded my preload.
    Drove 29 miles to a reload back to the same receiver, quick $150, and can do 4-5, right?
    Wrong, they are not accepting deliveries now til after 1200.

    If I had known, I could’ve stopped and ate, but nowhere to turnaround.

    But we thank you for your service. :evil4:

    Western Express was a dream in that department. You show up and it was nothing but respect... They were like “#### you fart cabin resident.” The last WE driver (either) hit, pee’d themself, psychotic break, never showed, got stuck in the wrong lot, or all of the above. I truly felt respect coming from shippers and receivers.

    Lying is bad, vague misleading responses is quick thinking.

    Details on how to / what sure causes said rash. Inquiring friends urgently need to know. Also, how long to get effective?

    We got unloaded starting right at 0800.

    But, there's a second stop, which is where we are now.

    On the way here, about an hour out of that receiver, we came to this place. A place where they have delicious food. Delicious food and running water and soap.

    So we stopped at this place. We got a 4 piece tenders, wedges, AND biscuit, and coffee of course.

    The OM is pleased.
