Can't say I understand this, but I'm lucky on my dedicated account, we are typically 100% drop and hook when we have to do backhaul from distributors to our Walmart DC. If a place jacks us around, we are to call in and Bentonville makes some calls real fast. We did have 1 recently, supposed to be a live load, 14 hours before they loaded him. He showed a 10 and rolled on with little complaint. Most of our backhauls are from Walmart owned distributors so they want to keep their job, get us in and out quickly!
What I have seen though, most drivers act like jerks so the favor is returned. Like the pricks who queue up on our road, blocking it, waiting for their appointment time into the DC. The guards have to come in that entrance too, they take note of who the numb nuts are that block things up. Your day just got a bit messed up! We have trouble getting in, so your going to have trouble, it says no parking!
