    no detention pay with transam. they want trailers there early is the only reason and that is to keep the customer happy
    I have learned to never get there at the first part of the appt there is always 2 times on meat and chiken loads. I also plan to do my shopping cleaning laundry while waiting
    I always get at least a room once a week so those are the spots along with 34 hour resets if needed
    being a meat hauler it just is the way it is
    never was your truck before you pick up every lot is dirty and dusty
    of course the whole midwest is dusty this year

    Not only do they take forever, I usually had to come back with up to six full pallets that the receiver refused due to too close to expiration product from Kraft. Luckily, it was when I was local and it was only a two hour drive back and all hourly so whatever.

    Ralph's in Compton has always been a 20+ hour ordeal for me almost every time. Yet you go to the one in Riverside with the same load and you'll be out in two hours.
