Transwest Cooling,in Yuma AZ.

Those were the days. I miss those days.

 

Before you go jumping up&down.....how much do you know about the produce biz honestly? There can be a million legit reasons for this.....including your attitude.....and while they may hate Yuma(cuz they're stuck there for 3months or so a year) For the most part they don't hate drivers....they do on the other hand have lil or no BS tolerance and no one beside the cooler boss has Any say on what/who gets done when....

 

They can't ship it till its cooled down to the proper temp. That's usually the biggest reason for delay in the produce business

 

And they can't put it in the cooler until the field workers finished picking it. It seems like half the time out there they're still picking the produce while you're backed into a door.

 

Good luck on getting paid on the load since YOU shorted the receiver their product due to your tantrum. And no you won't file on the bond, as produce is an exempt product.

 

Quite a few companies/industries load like that. Get the truck in the door, then finish preparing the load. My, how I hate that kind of shipper. No respect. I know every industry has it's details, and every industry has its ways of dealing with transportation, but I just don't see any reason why they can't get the truck in the door once the load is ready instead of 4 hours earlier. The truck comes in on time and waits 4 hours. (say) I guess there's a little detention, but that's not going to pay any bills.

 

Then when they stack the pallets the only thing keeping the pallet from falling apart is a piece of string wrapped around the boxes. Plastic shrink wrap would be a luxury
