[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 72026, member: 1944"] This is a good one, nice thought on your part. Lets see, Oh yes 100 pds of crap in a retaped, reused aprrox 100 times box, that should have been thrown away, but ahhh yess, tape is better than a new cardboard box. Or an OCA with TO: the return address, and FROM: the receiving address (sharpie marker fixes it all you know) that you delivered in the AM that some rookie picked up and you have back on your truck the next day, and they are tracking it and you dont have the heart, or balls to tell them it is back on board your truck. (of course it wasnt an OCA at all, just didnt get it out in time so they call you back!!!!!!!!!!) When did people stop understanding the basics of shipping a letter, it is the same for a pkg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We read it the same!!!!!!!!!!! But the driver that picked it up definetely(sp) should have fixed it. And of course there is the disguntled receiver that cannot believe that you cannot wait while they go get a check, they just live right down the road, they will be back in a MINUTE. They told me you would wait as they didnt know the exact amount. Well just coz they didnt know the exact amount why is your checkbook at home!!!!!!!!!!! Do you have to go make a deposit too!!!!!! Or the receiver that calls the center because they need their NDA saver NOW, and it is 11:00 and their shipper told them it would be there by noon...........so you pull to get it there and he is leaving as "he cant wait all day for you, he has work to do....." and you just totally friend&*%$# your day by pulling across town for him and he is leaving when you pull in, he flips you off. Glad its Friday, as I could not take another day of abuse. But its the best job out here.... Oh yeah, I forgot this one, where are you going to be.......................... Not in 10 minutes , not in one half hour, not at 300, just where you going to be???? Heres your sign... I ll just pull off and wait for you. You are my only customer. They just bought me this 80 K truck to sit here and wait on you........ [/QUOTE]
