Get some sleep, take your break. Then go p/u.

Still backed into dock I'm getting mad cuz he's milkin it..

Blast the air horn when he least expects it. That should motivate him. The faster he gets it done, the faster he can change his now soiled pants.

Lay down and get some sleep. They'll knock when they are ready for you to pull out....but just in case they don't, set an alarm for 2:00...an hour before you've absolutely got to be on the road. If they finish up before you can show a full 10, split it 8 hours here and get the last 2 at your next pickup. If you can get a full 10, leave out late enough that you won't shoot yourself in the foot in regards to the 14 hour clock, but will get you to your p/u on time.
Worst case, your alarm goes off and they still aren't done unloading you....but at least you would've got some shut-eye. -
Shut it down..get some rest...you know no one cares about you(company) loaders,ect))-get some rest..
airforcetoo Thanks this. -

-
you should have gone to bed as soon as they started unloading you 5 hours ago....
You'd have gotten lots more sleep.... -
