...................about their p/u volume on an ODS p/u.
Today was shaping up to be a decent day. I am on my favorite rural rte this week. I was looking at about 90 stops today and I could kinda sorta walk through my truck. All in all not a bad day. Then I got the ODS p/u before I even left the building. I took it to my sup because it looked like it was 20 pcs and they needed gsd labels. He checked, the pkgs were labeled and ready to go. I am in a 500 and don't have alot of room to spare, but I did have some room today so I went out there in the am. This customer is a BFE del in the morning, so I have had no chance what so ever to get many deliveries done.
I get the 20 pcs picked up and just as I was getting ready to leave a guy shows up and says "oh BTW, I forgot, I have these over here." By the time I got done I ended up with 32 pcs, the back end of by truck was stuffed and all of my deliveries were shoved up to the front door. I was PISSED! He said, 'you can come back tomorrow'. I DON'T THINK SO. All of this could have easily been avoided if the caller had not lied about their pcs to be picked up. I could have broke off and gone out there in the afternoon instead of picking them up in the morning. I would not have been as convient as it was in the morning, and that was far from convient, but I would not have had to dig deliveries out all day. Why do people think that they are our only customer? I wasted at least 30 mins there this morning, probably closer to 45. I had to go in and rearrange everything so I could get the rest of their **** in my truck. I can't believe how inconsiderate people are. Ok off now
Have any of you guys come up with ways of getting ods shippers to stop doing this?
