Why they wouldn't Sign for Shipment!! Estes LTL Rookie P&D Driver

In todays vlog, I take you along with me to do some lift gate drops. Any time you have a route like this you will be going to smaller places that don't have. dock for the most part. Also, you are calling customers trying to make sure someone will be available for the delivery so it can be frustrating at times but I enjoy the change of pace. I tried to deliver to an apartment complex that was being remodeled and because the contractor was not present they refused to sign for the product. This will happen from time to to time and you just let dispatch know and move one to the next stop. Hope you enjoyed the vlog and will subscribe to the channel and come back for more of a day in the life of an LTL driver.

Good positive video and true, 18 years as a engineer with the railroad and I was in that rut and the terminal manager looked at me crazy when he found out how many years I had with the railroad and now I wouldn’t change a thing I love the P&D life. 040 saying hello again.

When your tight for room and can’t spin that pallet around on the tail then drop that lift gate and spin it around on that lift gate maybe extra time but your not risking anything with having them to drag the pallet

[@samuellopez6795]

When you did your first stop since you had a dock you should have moved the pallets to the end already so you open it up and they just pull it out saves me the headache too driver because sometimes these Estes pallets come up messed up 🤣

Definitely a good point. I normally don't run the liftgate route and am always hitting docks but point definitely taken. I appreciate that feedback.
