Why do all Tysons take so long to load you?

When I drove for Stevens, when I came off of time off, they'd always have me shag an empty up to Amarillo from El Paso to pick up at IBP. I never unpacked my gear until I got there, I knew I'd be waiting for a while, gave me something to do. I remember at the old T/A there was a big table that was filled with Stevens drivers and we'd take turns calling the guard shack periodically to check on our loads.

I remember being at Joslyn, IL one night and another Stevens driver and I were talking to the female guard at the shack. There was a Schaffer driver being a prick to the guard over the CB. We were all getting annoyed by his attitude and his constantly asking about his load so we had a laugh as she looked at the pile of invoices that just came in, found his and said "No, it's still not ready, check back in a couple hours" and stuffed his bills at the bottom of the pile. He learned a valuable lesson, never be a jerk to the person in control of your paperwork.

 

Makes you wonder how many times your bills have been tossed to the bottom of the pile.

Being a prick or not. Professional service, she should have given the jack wagon his bills and gotten him out of her hair. Instead, she was as much a jerk as he was. Both of them stooping pretty low.

 

I hope you get detention at least. My longest wait was over memorial day weekend. Told receiver I would be there noon Friday. Got there was told they wouldn't unload me till Tuesday. 91 hours and $1000 detention dollars later......
