Bozzuto's Cheshire CT

Forget about parking at that dump. My company hauls a lot of those toilet paper loads out of tunkhannock pa, which are always dispatched 1or 2 days late, my dispatcher yelling into the phone "just start driving and get it there, there's overnight parking at that customer, just park and wait until your appointment!!" .. This after uniform him I have just barely enough on my 70 to get in there. So, I bust tail to get in there with 5 minutes left on my 70. I pull in, notice that there's only 2 trucks in the staging area, so I just get set up to back into a spot. The guard sees me, waves me up to the window, checks paperwork and orders me off the property and to head to the TA, I am not allowed to be on the property more than 2 hours before the appointment, and once empty I am to leave. So I get a nice 10 minute violation on my logs, and nite dispatch ordering me to wait until morning instead of rocking another violation.

 

It took you 15 minutes to drive the 3 miles to the TA?

 

Traffic. Also driving around trying to find a place to park and resorting to their "reserve parking".

 

I hauled there one time. Had to bobtail to a convenience store to get cash because the lumper wouldn't take a comchek. I thought he was joking at first.

 

First time I went there, I arrived an hour early. The dude at the guard shack gave me a piece of paper and told me to call the number to get a door and park along the side. There were no spots so he sent me to the TA. By the time I left there, went to the TA, found a parking spot and got settled in and called those clowns, they told me my door number and I ended up having to go right back. Then when I got there, security told me they changed my door assignment. Had a 5AM appt. and didn't leave til almost 11AM. The lumpers were jerks. Only had 3 pallets and it was $200. I kept that paper he gave me...and in fact when I had to go back there a second time, I went straight to the TA and then called for a door. When they called back I drove over. It was a cluster the 2nd time I was there too. Lesson learned about that place. I usually ended up picking up in Worcester the next day so after leaving Bozzuto's I usually went to the lone Pilot in Mass in Sturbridge.

 

Paper logs and you wouldnt have a violation js.
