Just said goodbye to my current carrier. It started with that 4800lb load they tried to pass as 3100, next morning I drove 100 miles to pick up, waited 2 hours to be told they don't have any freight for me. Now drove to pick up 1 piece, long skid @ 1750. When in reality it is 2 skids and 4 loose parts, heavy poles about 200lb each they try to just throw on side of my van on top of the wheel drums. I refused to take the load unless it was fully palatalized. They said ok and in a process of re pallatizing the load I was called all kinds names by some big african american fellow. I guess he was mad that he had to do extra work. At this point I closed my doors, asked him to open the hanger door, he told me I am not leaving and I will be taking this freight because I have no choice. At that point I helped myself to open the hanger doors, got in my van and left. Called my carrier, and asked not to call me with load offers anymore.
everything was suppose to be on one long skid. Guess they didnt feel like doing all that work. Heh, not to mention 2 pallets 4ft high of metal parts were not even secured to a pallet. Rocking back and forth with a slight touch...
After being called names, multiply times, of different gratitude, it was just a big **** you, I will not take your freight at all. Shove your 400$ up your you know what. I'm not damaging my vehicle or being insulted.
What a way to start a new year.
