7:55 - Exit Tip: If you wanna know if an exit is coming up on the Left side or on the Right side, look at the placement of that small green exit sign on top of the main road sign. If the small green sign is on the Top-Left corner, your exit will be on on the Left. And if it's on the Top-Right corner, your exit will be on the right.

Negotiate time and materials fee at the destination before you take the load, make it expensive enough that it is in their best interests to unload you ASAP

[@samuelchappell7280]

My mom used to drive over the road before she had a stroke. She told me one, while riding with her, that many times, she would call the drop - off location BEFORE the final leg to dropping off the load. On several occasions, the yard managers would tell her information, such as holding a load for a set number of hours before unloading. With this insightful bit of information, she was able to avoid all this drama beforehand. She either got paid extra for her time, or they would give her an alternate delivery address for her load. All was well in the end.

[@vasquezalfred]

I entered a guard shack with a live unload last year, was sent to a staging area for live unloading, had me disconnect and drop the trailer and report to RECIEVING area with BOL. RECIEVING in taking my BOL said minimum 72 hours to 5 days to unload me. I asked for BOL back and that I was leaving with trailer because it’s a live unload. Was once I disconnected from my trailer,that it was there property now because it was there cargo in it. Any attempt to take it back off the property would be stealing. 4.5 days later they unloaded me. Truck and trailer belonged to my boss. Always something new to learn in this awesome world of trucking.

[@Sara-L]

Some trucking companies run these special trailers with back and side lifts, and often the truckers with their own pallet jacks on board. That way when the customer refuses to unload, they use their own equipment to drop the load and say 'thanks for your business.'

[@SternLX]

I'm one of those people. Dry Van with a Liftgate and my own Pallet jack is a time saver if you do a lot of LTL. Edit: Oh and yes, I charge them for Liftgate and Pallet jack delivery.

I have had to come find our office lady in tears from some driver losing his mind over not getting loaded/unloaded immediately because he was 3 hours late for his appointment, or because the company he is hauling for never got us the orders for his load.

Why would you find a way to charge extra? What makes you think you can be evil towards someone and not get the same treatment? And drivers are so used to being treated like shit that you probably catch them on a day when they've had enough.

[@Gretschdrums01]

@@The_Trucker_Gamer First, fees for service are industry standard, they're not evil. We also absolutely get the same treatment, if we're behind and its our fault, we get charged detention fees by brokers and carriers everytime, as we should. Who ever is at fault for disrupting business has to pay, that's how it works. Second, as I clearly stated, we charge the broker extra in situations where they make promises to the drivers like this, not the driver himself, so I don't understand how this is treating the driver poorly. Who ever told him he would get in as a live load, must pay us to work him in early if they didn't originally contract that. Lastly, I don't care how bad the driver was treated by other people, its never ok for anyone to take that out on the next person. Our 5 foot short nearly 60 year old office lady has never said a unkind word to anyone, the things people have said to here because things aren't going their way are reprehensible to say to anyone, but especially to someone like her. Just be professional, like this guy says in the video.

Companies implemented just in time deliveries and the purchasing department doesn't have a clue what they are doing. Corporations do not want warehouses, cheaper to leave a load on the trailer. Glad you stood your ground.

That was nicely done. I also own and operate a tractor/trailer , only difference being I haul cars.

If they pay me I will deliver to Timbuctu with the operative word being PAY !! My motto is " if you don't PAY your freight will STAY". Good luck and stay safe.

[@ivemer9541]

They company has GPS on trailers, trucks n the eld has it so why should i ruin my phone. If your smart enough to look up the app you should be able to read its settings. Most of the apps give the broker the ability to use your phone to make calls, use your phones camera to spy on you or take a picture every so often to check on your activity. Dont believe me a certain broker in Omaha has 3 people who monitor nothing but drivers using their 4KITE app info on their loads.

[@melkiorwiseman5234]

I'm pretty sure that in Australia, the driver can charge for their lost time if a delivery is delayed. It's even worse if the delay causes them to miss another load thus missing out on payment or even worse, having to pay penalties for late delivery. It's absolutely worth taking to court and there's little doubt any court in the country would find whoever caused the delay to be liable for the added expense, including legal fees and any costs associated with having to take time off to go to court. Most companies will just pay up and save themselves the added expenses and claim it on their insurance. Meanwhile, the idiot who caused the delay is re-trained or, if they've done this kind of thing repeatedly, fired or at least demoted for incompetence, with no chance of ever being promoted again.

[@angrydragonslayer]

Long story short, I didn't get paid until almost 4 months later for that load, they tried not to pay me anything so I put a lean against their company for what I was owed for the load, and the day and a half I was trying to get their load off my truck, So they paid the lean.

@@calvinh.8882 Geeze that's ridiculous Im glad you stood your ground

[@calvinh.8882]

@@cntslesfabrication It was ridiculous, I'm just glad I was able to get paid, Getting paid months later was kinda like having extra money in the savings account. lol. The few hours and the money I spent doing paperwork and getting it notarized for the lean against them turned out to be well worth it. The lean I put against them only kept them from selling the company without paying me first, And they weren't selling the company so I was kinda shocked that they just paid it. But I'm glad they did. Maybe having a lean against them messed with certain credit lines they had. I don't know.

[@cntslesfabrication]

@@calvinh.8882 Definitely worth your time then and the savings account. Im glad you got paid I hate when big companies try to f over the little mom and pop companies because we don't have a leg to stand on like they do and most wouldn't have gone as far as you did to get paid

[@tyb2702]

Justin, to save yourself time. Whenever this happens, I would just let the broker know that “they need to cross dock my load”, that way, the shipper will receive it or they’ll send you to another warehouse to cross dock it. 95 percent of brokers are ok with cross docking. Sometimes, high dollar loads can come with surprises. You know!

I was an o/o in mid 80s had aload of grocery bags delivery to grocery wharehouse. Broker said no touch load. Got to whse.andwas told by receveur how he wanted then stacked. I said they were stacked fine.He said i had to do it, i said nope. Then pullef truck from dock . Got to guard shack and was told I couldn't leave with their bags. I said my truck ny trailer my bags untill u unload them. They back into a dock and they unloaded them just how they were loaded on trailer. Good for u for sticking to u guns.

The maxwell should specify that they arent doing these live unloads and state that 2day hold. Then you wouldnt have taken it without the approriate compensation. They seem to be playing a game yo cut costs at others expense.

[@robertusa1234]

I shore they do tell the broker its a 48 hr unload time.....its the broker that lie to the drivers because no one will accept a load like that

[@bman6198]

@@robertusa1234 I work with drop-trailers and the rating/quoting process is entirely different compared to live loading/unloading. It seems like there wasn't enough info in writing from the broker to customer and shipper/receiver. ALWAYS look at all the accessorials in the rate confirmation as well as calling both the shipper and receiver with the load numbers to verify it.

It would have been great having a GPS and a cell phone back in the 80’s. When we were under a load the company wanted a check call every 6 hours. That was a pain.

I worked for a company that would charge demurrage, first 2 hours were free each hour after was $100/hr. The shipper (long term dedicated customer, high end freight) would call the receiver and tell them the fees would be added to their bill. Only had one try to refuse the load (was in Nashville, electronics if I remember), new girl in receiving was trying to flex on a late friday afternoon, I threatened to take the load back into Canada and place it in the customs bondshed (I am Canadian), phoned dispatch, they told me to wait 10 min, the big boss came down to the dock, chewed her out and unloaded me immediately. We can get screwed over as drivers, but you and your company need to be firm. They cause you delays, they pay for them it is business.

I used to drive years ago and it did not take many loads to figure out anything involving a food load was going to be messed up. So I stopped hauling them.

[@LavenderSystem69]

Not entirely true. I did a bit of reefer work running between an American Cold Storage facility up in rural Indiana and a Nestle facility in Atlanta, GA, and it was a pretty well-oiled machine. Only real problems I ever encountered were from my own equipment, and the shipper and consignee were both pretty chill to work with the whole way through. Luck of the draw, maybe?

[@jamespotter936]

@@LavenderSystem69 We did dry van loads of flower, bagged sugar, rice, coffee and stuff like that. Of course everything had to be taken off the skid it was shipped on an and put on a different size skid. Every appointment was just a shot in the dark. You might wait 2 or 3 hours to get in a door. I started running a flat bed after that . It was easier to chain and tarp.
