ummmm no they're not. I can't believe you havent walked up to someones shipping/rcvg window and say "Hi, how you doing today? I'm here to pick up/drop a load" and they treat you like dog-chit for no reason. Or maybe it's because they get yelled at by truckers all day. You know the saying "If you can't take the heat..."
Welcome to trucking

It was probably a yard-dog :roll: who hates truck drivers even though he may have been one for years.

Dude, not trying to be a troll here, but how long you been driving?? I swear I'm a really nice guy too and I get shat on damn near everywhere I go, literally... no exageration :?:
Example, I was picking up a load of pet food in Columbus, OH I pull up, check in the guard (who was really busy but not coppin' an attitude... yet) tells me where to drop my empty. I slide my tandems and drop it in dock 68.
4 hours go by and I get on the CB and say "hey do you care if I bobtail to our terminal" (which is 7 miles away) and he replies "yeah this aint no hostage situation!!" to which I reply "I didn't say it was, spanky"
So I come back 2 hours later, after I did a load of laundry and got a shower. The guard tells me where to grab my loaded trailer and where the scale is. I grab it, do my pre-trip and scale it out. I get to the shack and I ask one of the guards to sign my detention form and he replies "Nope, we don't do that", I go over to the other guard 6 feet away and ask him the same thing and he's being a dick... so I smile and say "I'm going to be paid for it anyways haha!" and start walking out the door as he starts bitchin' "why you ask us then..." and muttering some other incomprehensible shi..
I can't wait to be an O/O to refuse loads outta this shthole!
