Old schoolers tend to get their asses out of the fart sacks and be there completely dressed and a decent representative of themeselves and would never be caught sleeping when they should be working! :roll:

The steel mill I used to haul out of had a large staging area to park in and wait until the shipper/receiver showed up. The security guard would hand each trucker a piece of paper with a number written on it to be displayed in the corner of your windshield. The receiver would then take each truck in numbered order, no exceptions. The guard said before this procedure was invented, there were many fights about what order the trucks arrived and who was next in line.

I am no ones babysitter. If you are going to do this job, then do it right. Have your butt up BEFORE the shipper/receiver opens, be in there first in line (if you were first) and handle yourself in a PROFESSIONAL manner. It does not matter about old school, new school it's about being a grown MATURE adult who has good work ethics!!!
Someone messes with my truck because his lazy a$$ was still in the sleeper had better BEWARE for I never pull out of any parking spot without checking my truck over.

I wonder if there was some confusion from the question.
Was this a situation where you arrived after the receiver was closed, thus would have no idea when the trucks in front of you were set to unload, or were you checked in when you arrived to park on the street?
