a little annoyed.....
 

I arrived at the ACME plant somewhere in texas about 0730. I can understand doing a trailer inspection, but come on....the dude insisted i hand over my keys, he then took them to the driver window 20 ft away where i 'checked-in'. Not only that, i had to hand over my cell phone (i took the battery out of it first), he had to inspect the inside of my truck....so many hoops i had to jump thru, i am almost upset he didnt fondle my sack for me.

Then had to pull around and check in again at another guard shack...lady there didnt seem to know what "good morning" ment. Then weigh my MT trailer, get word 20 min. later they were ready for me....so i pull around, bump the dock, and sit for 3 hours. I get the warning my battery was running low, and so i start my truck. I then get someone from inside to come out saying 'you cant have your truck running while they load you'. OH REALLY.....being how i am at the warehouse for "finsihed product", it must not be that 'finished' if it took 3 hours before starting to load me.

This load was to head to a railyard by 3p. seeing how it is noon, and i have 300+ miles to run....i'm pretty sure it wont make it.

why do some shippers out there just see the need to be C0CKS? Just do your job, and ill do mine. What seemed to get me....is that there is another Swift driver waiting along side me. but yet there have been about 5-6 other trucks who have come and gone. every one of them latino. Not saying there is any racisim going on, but this something that secretly goes on with certian shippers??

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!!!

i never knew you asked. oh, man i love joan jett. she is hot and just gets better with age!!!!!

Maybe you weren't his type.

Kevin...
Don't get your hair in a twit...
Or scortch your underwear...

There are plenty more of them around the country. Maybe not exactly the same, but related. The truck not running is a safety issue with come companies. And, as to the attitude, just think about it... There are more "horses' *****es" than there are horses... You must ran up against a few of the extras. There are more. Give yourself time, and you will start to find them.

Yeah...hmmmm...yup. Kevins experience is exactly why I like dealing with things that are wet. If it can't fit in a round hole, it doesn't go behind my truck!

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.
