[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1343148, member: 52978"] I'd pull empties out to several CPU's a day, and they had to be clean. I tried to convince them, over and over and over how it would make sense to designate several trailers as CPU only and give me the same ones every other day. # or 4 times a week I would have to get up in them and sweep them out cause of a giant mound of shrink wrap or a pile of pallets. (no small feat for a 60 year old out of shape feeder driver in the summer in Texas). I also brought up how much more often I'd have a shot at my gate time if I didn't have to do this. There are never enough trailers to do this on a regular basis. You'd be surprised how many packages I found in these supposedly empty trailers. Sometimes 3 or 4 times a week. Feeders would salt our trailers from time to time to make sure we were checking. Dispatchers in our facility are supposed to do a yard check at the end of their shift and check all trailers. loads and empties. They get salted as well. I'd never sign anything like that. Why give them ammo for an already loaded weapon? [/QUOTE]
