When asked to give my keys to shipping/receiving I always gave them the "special key" ,which was one of the 2 keys I still had on my key chain from a couple werner trucks I did not drive anymore ...I did this at those places that want your keys then tell you that you can't wait with your truck ,but take no liability for stolen items from the cab.
oh...Rev....in the words of that hooker girl in Kingpin when talking to Roy Munson......"i'm everybody's type." =)

Ah, the only bad days I had at Swift.
Then again, with the small-outfit I recently left, it was the exact opposite at some places I dropped off/picked up from. Larger carriers were allowed to breeze on through, I had to wait with my truck for special instructions.

if it doesn't fit in a round hole, you're trying to put IT in the wrong one. :lol:

Not saying there is any racisim going on, but this something that secretly goes on with certian shippers??  issedoff: issedoff: issedoff: issedoff:Obviously, THAT's the real problem, here!! :roll: :roll: :hellno: :hellno:

uhm, you could turn the truck off and take a nap..or read a book, better yet the swimsuit issue hit the stands yesterday!!!! or you could look into the mirror and see the ass staring back at you!!! i am sure all of these shippers and recievers that you tell how to do there job see it. hmm, i may just be thinking out loud here, but i wonder if that is why you waited so long to get loaded. ever heard the phrase, never bite the hand that feeds you? well, you are at there mercey sitting in that dock. unless you got the balls to leave without your load or without delivering your load, might i suggest keep your know it all pie hole shut. you may be surprised what NOT knowing everything might do for ya!!!

ive delivered a few loads to refinerys or energy plants and had to go into a room and watch a ****n video on safety. 45 minute video to deleiver a tube i could just lift off the truck in 5 minutes. some things are just so silly its amusing. at my job when the forklift drivers are loading us, were not even allowed to sit in the truck. i guess someone pulled out of the dock when they were loading or something. and now no one can sit in there truck. you need to sit in a little room with 1 bench. kinda ****ty when there like 15 drivers at once, espically since they take all day loading 1 truck. but thats baltimore, and everything in baltimore is a dump. just today i was delivering to a home depot distrubiton center in swedesboro nj and a guy from another warehouse came out and started yelling out me that i cant park on the street in front of his warehouse. im like buddy theres 2 trucks ahead of me and 3 behind me. where do u expect us to go and why are you coming directly to me?.cursing and making threats to call the cops. i didnt move an inch. people just like to ***** and complain, makes them feel useful

You have heard that "Prudence is the better part of valor", haven't you? (and she's much better looking too.  ) You are most likely not the first to raise his dander, and won't be the last. However, if there is a way that you can park on the side without interfering with access to his business, the reaction shouldn't be as harsh. I have heard of cops coming along and issueing tickets because of someone's phone call. They're not afraid to use 911 for this either. Sometimes, standing your ground may not be in anyone's best interests... Especially in NJ. That's one of the reasons I run out into the "CIVILIZED WORLD". Out along the Mississippi and west from there. Much better class of people, for the most part.
