I'm nice and dont complain :thumbsup: Don't get me wrong, I have had to sit before. I.E. Fresh Express in Yuma, I used to sit for hours and hours there. So I started to help out, by having my paper work ready, and helping out the guys on the dock. Do any of they drivers help out the dock guys who do the trailer wash out. Hell no, they stand up there and complain about how long they have to wait. :zzz: I get out of my truck goto the back of the trailer, grab a hose and do my own washout, they come and inspect it, straight over to the dock 9 times out of 10. :thumbsup: While the other drivers who dont like to help, and piss and moan, goto the waiting yard :lol: I get in and out fast in that place, even if im early for my appointment, they get me in early :moon: Being nice to people goes a long way :thumbsup:

Quaker Oats in Cedar Rapids did this to me. Turned out the trailer wasnt ready, and the lady in the office asked if i wanted to leave or stay on site and turn it into a live load. i chose the latter because if i stay around the trailer, i know when it is ready, and can roll faster. what ended up happening, the load was on the other side of the warehouse, and the guy asked if i could reposition the trailer to the other side of the place to help getting it loaded faster....so i did. and was loaded within 30-40 min.

Your doing the wrong job. I used to be the *****hole behind the shipping window :rofl: Back then I felt all truck drivers were dirty nasty scum, just a waste of time and space. " i was young and dumb, back then" But I remember some guy coming in to pick up three pallets. He was rude to one of my labors, I had him sit for 2 hours before he hit the dock, then 4 hours to get him loaded. :lol: Then I had the guy at the gate screw with him as well. :lol: Then I called the people getting the three pallets and told them the load would be late and for them to screw with the guy as well. See how easy it is to screw someones week up :lol:

Plus your probally the 20th trucker and the 19 before you were all *****es the best story i got, a buddy of mine was checking this parent of an employee in. Now remember, parents get to fly for free as a 'non-rev' passenger. It isnt a 'right', it is a 'perk'....and it is free. you only get on if there are seats left after paying passengers get on. This flight there was plenty of room. But he raised a stink about his golf clubs getting lost on the way up. So much of a stink that my friend pulled him aside, and said, "look, this is a privilege, not a right. you have to act as if YOU were the employee, and right now you arent. this 'privilege' can be revoked at any time, sir." The guy ended up relaxing a little, and then when we told him he'd get his seat up at the gate, he raised a fit because the flight was so 'open', he wanted a seat right then and there. he was directed upstairs to the gate. My friend....taking the bag tag for phoenix off....and put a hand written tag on. Now the golf clubs were going on our airline to Phoenix, then transferring to Continental bound for San Diego and then switching airlines again, to Aloha Air for Hawaii. HAHAHAHAHAHHHA........dumb @#$% !!!!! now my gripe isnt with just getting screwed with. I mean if i went in with a bad 'tude and gave them a hard time....i could understand that. But that isnt 'professional', and doesnt represent the company well. I remember when i interact with a shipper/cosignee, i AM the company, to them. I act as if it were my own company. I dont kiss *****, but then again, i wont just stand there and let them talk down to me either.
