refrigerated warehouses

Andrew Jackson, placed in the correct palm, has worked also !!!!!

 

I pull dry and refrigerated and notice no difference in load/unload times. I would actually rather pull a frozen load. It's rare when I am detained longer than hour but that's probably just my particular customers. As for the customers themselves, I just show up ON TIME and hand them my bills. No small talk nothing, if they feel like ruining my day because I didn't kiss their fat rear then that's a reflection of their miserable lives.

 

calm and polite go alot further in this business, than getting all worked up and letting them get to you.....i at least save it for the confines of my own truck!

 

might work at some--but not all--a few walmart dcs come to mind--somebody always has to have their little power trip

 

I used to run a dedicated delivering produce at a warehouse in PA a while back. My buddy and i would entice them with cheap gifts we would buy from our runs. Since we would pay them a visit every week we would be their buddies. They know that when they saw our truck they knew we would have something for that crew and the manager. So when the other trucks were there waiting to get loaded...we would park and be out in no time...most of the time. The other truckers would look at us like "WTF???" when we leave before them

 

Sometimes I call them pretending to be my dispatcher asking WTH is the delay. It has worked.

 

i like the little places with jojo the forklift guy----love to go in there and tell him he only has a bit of time left before they have to start paying detention---sometimes it works---sometimes i get told to go screw myself
