When to a shipper in Rochester NY. I was told to be there before 15:00 and would be immediately loaded. Got there at 14:30 walk into the shipping office and told them I was here for the Houston load. The lady in charge with a bad attitude said that yes there was a load for Houston but they only load in the morning. I said O.K. and found the payphone (yes, in the days before pocket computers.) call dispatch and told them the situation. He said if nothing happens in a half hour call back. 5 minuets later, a suit came out of a set a doors and walked into the shipping office. Two minutes after that a whole bunch of people came running out the office. Someone told me which door to back into. As I was being loaded I saw the person in charge walking to her car with a cardboard box in her arms. 20 minuets later, when I collected the bill of lading I was told that the suit fired her on the spot and told everyone else that if they wanted a job in the morning that my truck had better be loaded and gone with in the next half hour. Karma is a bitch.
This is Beautiful 😎🙏🏽
She played with way to many loads.. your was the final straw..
Holy shit dude !
I'm a shipper, contracted to a global corporation, and this made me smile. My boss requires us to turn a truck in an hour or less (20-28 pallets per load and do all the paperwork). My record is 12 trucks loaded and rolling in 9.5 hours. I hear the horror stories, from the drivers about other facilities, but they know what to expect when they pull into our yard.
My company would have called the suit and reminded him how much 12 hours of detention would cost. My guess is that the suit got one too many of those phone calls.
I learned a long time ago if you get mad at every a****** you come across, you'll be mad everyday for the rest of your life
True 😑🙏🏽
I wish I could have yall's disposition. I admire that. I'm too hot headed. I've seen me do it, lol. Y'all have the right temperament. I do not...
@@boodro2122 yup, I get pissy way to easy, especially with bullshit. But if I know of a way to fix it myself I just do it. or if I can call some one and get it handled dito.
wisest observation I've heard all week
@@jaws978 It's only Monday. Stick with me, kid....lol
A shipper who hates truckers? That dude should be fired IMHO.
Agreed. Everyone hates to work on holiday weekends. But this is the way I feel. I need to put food on the table, pay the bills, and put clothes on my back. If someone shows up at 1 minute to close, they will still get my A-game and be treated like royalty. What this guy did is inexcusable and very unprofessional.
Exactly!
Yup... There are many MANY others that would give a Limb to have this job , or any job right now for that .A Pink Slip is all he would be getting .
@@fetus2280 actually people are enjoying the free money! There is millions of jobs available just no one to fill them. Worker shortage’s is the cause of this.
@@Billybob-go8hn there's no worker shortage there's a pay shortage. if they paid more they'd fill their positions more quickly.
The fact that he wanted you to come back after he leaves tells the entire story.
Gottta love the dedication of some employees. An hour and a half left on his shift and he refuses to load? Maybe he should be refused a paycheck.
Two plus Hours to Load and 90 Minutes left on Shift.
No other Outcome possible.
Come back Tomorrow
I ran a big coca-cola warehouse. Receiving was open until 6 pm to accept deliveries, and 24 hours to haul away, assuming that our receiver had the paperwork ready. Occasionally, there were ... issues. If that second shift guy tried that crap with me, I sincerely would have his job.
Maybe that guy was a member of the 1% club. Has been getting a 1% raise for years. From personal experience it erodes your work ethic to the point that your performance matches your pay and nothing more. I bet if his wages got back on track it would be a different conversation. Also Abcd shift is great for profits but for employees it is full on sh1t on your neighbor.
When I worked as shipper I never refused even if I had to stay late
@@tinybubbles3724 He can always go to another job if his skills are in demand...would not recommend customer service though. This is America...so far....freedom to change.
My uncle told me about a time he was waiting for a load. Was taking to long so grabbed a newspaper and walked into the bosses office like owned it and sat down across from him. Didn’t say a word just started reading paper and ignored boss. After a few minutes boss walks out to find out what was going on. Uncle was loaded and rolling ASAP. Everyone’s time is worth something and we shouldn’t feel bad about letting other people know it.
ur uncle's badass
@@thiccieredd9606 Obviously knew the game. Someone's gotta be the bad guy so he clearly relayed the message to the boss that their staff weren't playing ball instead of panicing and losing his shit.
eek... what paper was he reading to make the boss do that?
true
Unsettling the boss like a boss! Good tactic. I'd love to have a beer with that dude.
That lazy worker basically said: your best bet is to come back so someone else can do it.
I'm guessing the shipper at some point told the supervisor "we're not paying OT to finish loading after the end of shift , you shouldn't have started loading so close to the end of shift." So he spouts malarkey so that doesn't happen and everybody clocks out on time.
@@richardvogel4451 it doesn't take 1.5 hours to load a trailer and if he started and did not finish he could have let the next crew finish it. The guy is plain lazy and did not give a reason as to why he could not load it. This is why Bezos fires people after 3 years, some get lazy and less productive after 3 years on the job.
There are so many selfish pieces of shit out there. They're miserable losers who think they're standing up for themselves when they really just stacking up the Bad Karma against themselves. He probably needed to get home so he could watch some useless television reruns drink Pepsi and eat frozen dinners.
Yup.
And now that she's fired, someone else will do it every day from now on.
@@jacobladder6165 You truckers are nasty people. Most of you are just as selfish. He's DONE his shift. He's going home. It's up to the incoming crew to load, and sometimes other loads have priority. Get over it.
This is why I'm back to working local hourly. On days where we're contracted to haul and get told to wait, I smile and tell them, "We're charging you by the hour. Take all the time you need." Trucks and equipment move out of the way. I get unloaded immediately. Bam! Home for dinner.
I drive about 20% of the time and work outside the truck the other 80%. Better pay. I have greater control over my schedule. Most driving jobs seem like a scam. Driver shortage? My ass! Trucking would pay better if there was an actual driver shortage.
The biggest part of the scam is paying $3500 give or take for a Class A CDL license. I have driven numerous straight trucks over 40 years now and millions of safe miles. Most trucking companies treat drivers like dirt or worse. I was an independent O/O for a few years with a lease from 94-96 and it was all good for a year or so until the boss started screwing the drivers with shorter trips and more unloaded miles. When I complained the boss said, "I could hire 100 guys from Pakistan who will work 7 days a week and never complain." Oh? Here's the keys and I quit being and independent for you, go get those guys!" They're still in business but have downsized considerably since then.
Did OTR for a few years,now passed 32 doing local runs. Most customers treat me good,because they know I will be in and out faster than others.
Pay better? I think 75k a year is decent
@@garthlocklin6355 The FBI loves hearing about stuff like that too. People forget that the FBI is more interested in "White Collar" crimes.
My company charged $100 an hour after 2 hours if i wrote it up. I never did because delays were usially things they couldnt help. Pulled into one place though and they started moving trucks for me. Asked why and they said a driver had to wait 1w hours and they got an additional $1000 on their bill
The woman on the phone, I swear she is the same woman who answers calls for every national company, she connected my internet, and also works at paypal and fixed my account error, she gets around ;-)
I Was thinking the same thing, pretty sure she got me roadside service a couple weeks back. And helped with E.L.D
@@parentsbasement7734 hahaha she does lol.
She's the same woman that's been calling my phone from multiple numbers to let me know about my vehicle's extended warranty.
She called me today to inform me she could get me a better insurance rate..lol
Thought the same thing
As a former OTR driver I can see why they always need drivers because they treat us all like crap. Always a stranger in a strange place.
Exactly 😑🙏🏽
Saw it many times Driver
Retired OTR ...things haven't changed over the years
They forget who gets their product where it needs to go so they can get paid.
if drivers stat refusing to load there citing this manager as the reason things will change
If they paid more and didn't treat drivers like trash I would drive. As it is I can get treated like trash and stay close to home in a shit job.
I stopped being nice a long time ago. Life got much better for me.
"you see that car right there?", thats where you park your rig until that fool loads your truck, if you aint going home then neither can he...
Sadly that would be illegal, but it would be hilarious
80,000 people just called is phone number to ask him why he wouldn’t load Justin’s trailer???
Atleast 1
Hope so
Call and press 3, thank me later
@@dontdogarage are you that 1? :P
The term “stuck on stupid” comes to mind when I hear that guy at the beginning talk
Or, "shut up stupid" comes to my mind, lol 🤣. All of the years I've worked on trucks and trailers... I've always looked after the drivers First! That guy wasn't a Bonehead Trucker.... He was just a Bonehead!!!!
He said his crew was fully booked on other loads and he wasn’t going to put them aside and load the one UBER failed to schedule, and he wasn’t authorizing overtime to make up for other people’s failure to plan.
He wasn’t clear, and when he was listing open load appointments he had available, none until the next day, it sounded like he was saying he didn’t have anything to load. He meant he didn’t have any load times, not that nothing was being loaded.
@@ED-es2qv If a truck is there to load, and the load is ready and someone is not busy, it should get loaded. People are lazy, and always looking for an excuse to not do their jobs.
@@traviseggl3794 or to do the bare fucking minimum. These are also usually the same people that piss and moan talking about "I don't know why they don't pay me more, I don't get why they promote people newer then me."
I get it idiot.
More like stuck on laziness
I have picked up drop trailers and live loaded at that facility, and that gentleman that you spoke to at first, has always been an ass, the night shift, I have never had a problem with
With a reputation like that sounds like grumpy has close ties to one of the owners or higher ups, been there for too long.
For every company that I’ve worked for, night shift always gets shit done. They’ll be miserable and hopped up on caffeine, but they’ll get it done.
Sounds like his old lady was last seen climbing up in a Peter car........ Maybe
I finally had enough of driving after 38 years. I really did enjoy it for the most part, but the last few years things have changed. And the funny thing is that companies are complaining about driver shortage, well the way we are treated certainly has a lot to do with it. Keep on truckin my friend, you have an awesome attitude, and don’t let anyone mess that up 🤘🏻🤘🏻
I hear ya buddy, I’ve been in the industry a about 3.5yrs now and have done a lot of reading/philosophizing(not sure if that’s an actual word Lolol) about why there is a shortage and the causes for it as well as ways to solve it. My thoughts are this; 1) the mega-carriers have fist fucked the whole industry. (They are the only companies that can negotiate the insurance rates low enough to hire inexperienced drivers as well as obtain the liability insurance a company needs to avoid “nuclear verdicts” in civil court). 1a.) the mega carriers have recruiters that go to cdl training schools and blatantly lie to new drivers with promises of $40k-$80k in your first year of trucking, 80k is 2X 40k lololol. so they basically tell you that YOU CAN MAKE either 20+ $$$ p/hr or $10 p/hr in a 70hr work week!!! It’s fucked up. Ask any driver working for Werner or Schneider or Swift how much they make!!! Only guys making $80k+ drive for Foodliner or fed ex or UPS driving guaranteed local routes. 2) THEY TELL NEW DRIVERS THEY WILL BE HOME WEEKLY AND THEN THEY END UP OTR for 3+wks as soon as their training is done. THE COMPANIES BURN OUT THE DRIVERS WITHIN 6months!!! 3)60k drivers have failed drug/alcohol tests while tested on the job in last 18months according to FMCSA clearinghouse program, clearly there is a mental health issue involved here related to the industry if this is how drivers r coping with stress while either on duty or off. (Ironically the fmcsa allows them back on the job with a clean piss test and one appointment with a “specialist,”). So you end up with guys like this making RUclips videos bitching about every load they have or getting fucked up on drugs/alcohol when they park at the Pilot truck stop EVERYNIGHT for 10hrs. 4) the mega carriers give kickbacks to the cdl schools for the amount of new drivers the school sends to their companies. So there is no one telling the drivers “hey that Werner recruiter is a snake oil salesman I wouldn’t work there.” Lastly, I waited 6months or so after I got my CDL because I read the bullshit being fed to me at cdl training, was able to get a job at Foodliner that got me home daily as well as payed me a GUARANTEED WEEKLY $1200(now $1500 weekly) with quarterly $500 safety bonuses and $3000 annual Xmas bonus(now $5,500 after 3yrs there), I recruit the fuck out of every driver I talk to to go worth there(Foodliner also rewards me with $8000 (4X$2000 quarterly over 12months)referral bonuses per driver that puts my name on the job application. THE MEGA CARRIERS DONT OFFER ANYYYYYYYY OF THESE!!!!! Now that my legs r both asleep in this cushy ceramic stall at Loves I will end this rant. 🥸
there's too many truckers, so companies can continue to be awful to work for and still stay in business. There needs to be a bottleneck getting into the industry, this improves overall driver quality and company quality.
@@deputysheriff2643 my buddy (were in san diego) drove for fedex as a new driver making decent money. Now hes with carvana, but a private place offered him 3k a week to go from here to az every week im not sure how many trips etc, but he was gonna take it until someone else got it. Maybe its different where i am but it seems like 40k is a pretty low estimate. Hell UPS truck drivers with no cdl license make 45 a hour where i am with FULL benefits. I make 20 on a truck as a driver helper runnin packages. Seems crazy the numbers you are putting but its prob for your area?
There is no driver shortage. There are far more CDL holders than CDL jobs. You hit on exactly why companies are struggling to find drivers. Many companies don't care about the drivers. Yes, there are some that do and if you can find them, you've hit the jackpot, but the majority need their own attitude reset. Better training for their driver managers and dispatchers, and doing all they can to ensure their trucks are racking up miles.
I agree with you i retired in this last dec because of all the bs. No parking the trucking co screw drivers shippers and rec screw drivers . Its nothing like it used to be. Be safe
I'm an owner op. with my own truck & trailer leased to a good company that let's me book my own loads. A few months ago I had a shipper in West Memphis, AR. kept dragging their feet on loading my trailer. After waiting 3-4 hours I told them if somebody didn't start loading me in about 20 minutes I was leaving and he said it probablly wasn't gonna happen. Then I said, "I'm outta here!" and I left. There are too many other loads out there for me to waste my time on a few that spend hours getting you loaded.
Exactly! Your time is as important as theirs.
damn you waited longer than i would have. you got far more patience than i do.
WASTE not WAIST
I always get to places on my appointment time. I’ve been to places that have waited for 11 hours. I don’t mind because after 2 hours I charge 75 an hour for detention and my company makes sure to charge them since they agree to our terms and conditions when they use us.
As a small business owner, I can't understand this. Who would keep working like this around? This guy surely hurts the morale of everyone with an attitude like that.
Fucking unions...
We had someone like this at my work he had been in the company longer than most of the fixtures, he was a workplace bully who did nothing but make anyone he crossed paths with miserable but simply being an asshole was not reason enough to fire him. Thankfully he eventually messed up and was busted smoking in the building by a manager who had it in for him he was fired on the spot. Turns out he was allegedly stealing stock but there was no evidence hence why this manager was out to get him.
My wife told me her CEO said he rather have shitty workers than no workers at all. The company have been constantly going down hill since he took over.
@@1dariansdad No mention of union but you went there didn't you.
I wonder if his boss knows he doesn't care if the company's product gets loaded or shipped?
Yeah until you find out he's the boss' uncle
He probably does now! LOL
I heard him say it was his company.
@@briancockrum2719 yeah right, I doubt it lmao
I a good one to the receiver who was. was fucking with me i returned the load i took his name stating he refused the load Co got charge twice
When some dip starts a sentence with “The best thing for you to do “ they immediately LOSE my respect for them !!
I did that at US steel, guy refused to load me, I got my coil racks, my chains and started to put them away he goes what are you doing? I said going to another load were they will load me, I said find somebody else to haul your coils, his mouth dropped and couldn't believe it. His attitude changed 180.
😂😂😂👍
Which location?
@Diamond Logistics dont forget ethnic racial issues... if the W/H say is Hispanic, they will load their Hispanic drivers pronto and with vigilance while having a good attitude..... if you are white or black good luck... SORRY for saying this... its damn true...
@@charlesbukowski9836 at least at our warehouse, don't care what color you are or if you can even speak English, as long as you have your paperwork ready and your in your time slot we have your load ready and we get you loaded in under an hour, hopefully under 30 minutes. The more I can sit around between loads the happier I am. I stage all my loads for the night behind the dock then I watch RUclips or Netflix between drivers, nothing makes you load a trailer quicker than a cliffhanger lol.
@David Wang politically correct, you do realize that's an oxymoron right🙄
Some time spent unemployed would likely give Mr. Cranky some much-needed reflection on his attitude and priorities in life.
I just found this and had to comment. I worked in shipping department for years. There would be times when near the end of my shift a driver would arrive with a trailer to unload. It would be a live load, and of course no one wanted to unload it. I would volunteer to stay later and unload the trailer. I did get overtime for the time I stayed, and the driver got his trailer unloaded, and was able to go on his way. I didn't mind the extra time, and the pay wasn't a factor either. I realized that the driver could have been delayed because of road traffic, or other situations. I just wanted to give him an easy end to his day. I loved working in shipping.
When I was in manufacturing and we needed to load a truck, I always felt guilty if we weren't ready to load as soon as the truck got there. We did screw up occasionally but I tried my best to keep our people hopping so that we were waiting on the truck and not the other way around.
just looked at their google reviews for the facility, all the bad reviews are for that guy (going back months) doing this sort of thing to people... its not a one time thing.. definitely recommend sending interaction video to his corporate office if you can, he's doing this to lots of drivers!!! Maybe with video proof they will do something about it
what company is it?

@@MC-hs4mf it’s not a phone call. In public places you can record all you want
ive been a dispatcher for about 25 years. ( 1 specialized company the entire time) yeah im the guy most drivers like to hate on but my guys love me. i deal with all these shippers who have attitudes. you are right. sometimes people just have bad days but that guy seems like hes mad he cant retire.
Thank you for being a good example. I used to load half dozen trailers a day per shift, all by myself. This plus unload and sort conveyor line pallet size parcels of finished shipping boxes at a box plant which came down the line like a traffic jam because each line had 4 machines running different orders. The worst days a truck would come in ahead of schedule and demand to be loaded because of some scheduling error. 14 hour days were the norm on a forklift. Almost non stop without breaks or lunch. I have empathy but little to none when I was going through it all. I kept my job because I could endure the abuse with almost No errors. The way I see it I should have quit before being crippled by it, looks like trucking would have been a better deal..
Joseph thank you for your work ethic
Even with my medication 💊, I couldn’t stay calm & even like that, lol 😂. Your a great example for your boys.
I havent flashed out since i got on Prozak . lol
Sir, been in the freight biz more than I care to admit. Your calm & positive attitude is top shelf grade! God Bless you and your family. Stay safe.
If everybody had your attitude we would be living in beautiful times
This is the exact reason I stopped running vans, switched to flat bed and never looked back, made more money, enjoyed it much more and 95% of the shippers and receivers are pretty good to deal with. I think with flats the shippers see just how much work is involved with strapping and chaining especially when it's miserably hot or cold, raining or snowing etc.
Gotta love unstrapping at -30 after running through rain.
Yea. Being in the 100°F heat strapping everything down trying to throw an 100+ pound tarp over your head. Honestly it's hard ass work but at least you stay in shape
@@lonestar199 as long as you eat the right foods..ive seen some fat flatbedders too lol
@@truckerdude9172 exactly. Lol.
I pull dry bulk now but the only thing i miss about otr is flarbed. Better pay, less driving, you dont get fat and you go to some coolass weird places.
Appreciate what you do, and all other truckers, every day I see transports backing into impossible spots, and have a great appreciation for their skills.
No proper supervision on site leads to problems like this.
When the management is just as bad...
I wish I had your ability to control your emotions when dealing with folks like that. I struggle big time and get mad way to fast. I know it doesn't help but sometimes I just snap.
I would snap, never will change until its pay by hour from HOUR 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I been driving 24 yrs. trust me if you blow up at them it only makes it worse.
@@unclepecos845 Yea I learned that one the hard way one time. Took only 1 time, then when I knew I was done doing OTRI didn't care and would speak my mind freely and openly.

Hey Hank. Funny where we found fellow youtubers! :)
Happy 4th to you and Gina! -Ed
That’s how it is in trucking lol ive been trucking for a year and a half now yes im new still but I ran into shippers like that too lol it happens out here just be cool and clam and everything works how lol
I violated every DOT rule to get a load to Baltimore so my cargo could be put in a container heading overseas. Upon arrival the dock Master told me... no way was I going to be unloaded. I said, okay. I'll tell the shipper's dispatch... then I'll be heading home (I was an owner operator). A few minutes later the dock Master was sweating bullets when he asked me not to leave.... please back up to the dock. Always an adventure awaiting a driver's next load.
@@MyClutteredGarage ķ . . M.
I don't like to argue. I'll just do like he did or when it became available go back to the truck and send a message. Once I even took my bills, went back out to the truck and sent a message to dispatch what was going on and left. Just after I set the brakes in the nearest truckstop I got a message asking me to "please go back." Sent a message saying if they still had the same attitude I'll leave again and they can come get it where I park. When I got back to the receiver there was a whole different attitude from the office people. I don't know what happened but maybe the right one got called on the phone. I drove from 1991 to 2018 and I refused to be treated any kind of way. It got me fired once but at the company I went to afterwards I got a raise, home more and did more drop & hook loads.
Everyone has a boss. I'd find this guy's boss (phone) and send him the video.
I don't get why people refuse to do their jobs.
Plenty of people who are unemployed who would just love to step in and replace this "entitled" idiot.
Lots of unemployed people who also have families and mouths to feed are sitting idle while this guy picks and chooses what he wants to do.
You know I actually feel the same but sometimes I feel those who take pride and work hard are the dyeing breed. look how many would rather sit home and collect unemployment rather then go back to work. It's a shame do away with handouts and let the strong survive . Then this country will have strength .
@@jhill2042 For some what you say is true but for many, especially single people with kids they need to have a place where they can send the kids while they are at work. Too many day cares have not reopened or the teachers are out due to illness. Gradually things will get better. It is like during the 1930's; many wanted to work but the jobs were not there or the people didn't have the skills to do the available jobs.
My uncle wanted me to go out with him driving when I was younger 70's early 80's. I didn't... now I wish I had. After nearly 40 years of factory work my body is completely shot, almost handicapped. But my uncle is still going strong after nearly 50 years on the road.
i used to be a shipper receiver, I would load/unload up to about 10 minutes before my shift ended, if your truck was half loaded/unloaded the next shipper got your paperwork and continued on, dude refusing to load a hour and a half is nuts..
hey man I'm not loading your truck, I just got to work and I need to leave at 5:00.
You just gotta love how general labors, shippers, and receivers disregard a driver's time. While bragging about, going home after a measly 8 hr day.
My husband is a truck driver for thirty four years and people treat truck drivers like crap all the time.

That guy sure had some issues he needs to resolve.
His issue is that he is overemployed. His boss needs to resolve this.
Unemployment would resolve his problem.
quite possible that the guy was expecting a bribe...
Wonder how many times he has refused to load and someone said... 'c'mon man.. $100 if you load me up..."
Possibility exists...
Looks to me like he gets punked by his old lady.
Im not even a trucker but seems like that guy has some issues communicating to everyone in his life. How hard is it to communicate? Apparently a lot!
That first guy was what we called in the military as 'Retired On Active Duty' (ROAD) - seems appropriate!
😑🙏🏽
Maybe he had FYGMO. It seems certain he had DILLIGAFF.
@@OgamiItto70 Nope, that was ROAD - Old guy, didn't care about getting in trouble for not doing his job (too senior or past retirement eligibility and simply sucking as much money as he can without doing ANY work for the company until he can throw a giant hissy fit and 'retire').
FIGMO would assume that he was going to work somewhere else - that guy is going straight to his Barcalounger to suck beer and watch Hee Haw Reruns....
DILLIGAFF?
@@alanreynolds2287 "Does It Look Like I Give A Flying F***?"
FYGMO (or FIGMO) once meant "F*** You, Got My Orders," and was a condition suffered by those who were just about to end their tour and head back to "the World," but I get that its meaning might have changed over time.
Maybe the guy just has FTA...
Had a reciever in Northern California, showed up early for my appointment on a Thursday, and the dock workers refused to unload their 13 pallets. They said the shipper mixed two products per pallet and that the 4 of them didn't have the time or manpower to unload the pallets, unstack them to count them and restack them. They rejected the load and immediately jumped in their cars and went home. They just wanted to go home.
I informed my company. I had another 6 pallets for another reciever due on Friday so I delivered those 6 pallets while my company tried to figure out what to do with the 13 rejected pallets on my truck. The owner of the warehouse where the dock workers rejected me told my company to have me bring the product back on Saturday morning at 03:00. No one showed up until 08:00 and it was the owner. The owner and I unloaded and counted the 13 pallets in 45 minutes. I'll never accept a load going to that reciever again.
I've said for years it'd be nice to have a really good review source for drivers documenting how they are treated by various shippers and receivers. You look up on the app and see a shipper has a one-star rating, you do not accept a load for them unless you're getting paid premium dollar. There are some like Budweiser in fort Collins I would never ever accept a live load or unload there, they have no qualms about keeping you sitting for half a day to a day.
I drove for 30+ years. I’ve had to give guys my last $10 to get them to unload me. That was back when my 4 kids were young and many times I lived on $35 to $50 bucks a week to eat on, sometimes weigh load, and/or showers at times. You untarp in Georgia or ANYWHERE down south you will lose 2 lbs pulling you tarps and 2 lbs tarping your next load. Had to have a shower before crawling into bunk, so many times I had to pay for a shower as I didn’t need fuel. These people thinking they are all powerful, (longshoreman were the WORST!) are worms.
The worst part about it, was when I was at 80 or 90 hours a week, SLEEP would be welcomed, but that’s when the WOULD unload/load me!! I would be dying for four or five hours of sleep and dispatch couldn’t do nothing about it, but nope! Then the shipper/receiver would off load or load. When rested up? Ready to go? Forget it. They would screw me every time! As much as I miss it everyday, I’m glad I’m out of it.

I think shop time was where I got screwed out of sleep the most. You put your truck in the shop to get fixed, knowing it's two or three hour job, so you wait and wait and wait and wait all day for your truck to be fixed so that you can get to work. Finally after you've already been up for 15 to 20 hours waiting on this truck to be fixed so that you could crawl into the sleeper and go to bed, they say your truck's done, and oh by the way we've got a load for you you pick up in an hour. So now you have a choice of turning down the load and crawling into bed, which is what you should do. Or knowing you made no money today, you accept the load and arrive at your destination after you've been up for 25 to 30 hours.
@@rockymntnliberty: Been there done that! When we owned our trucks, however, we couldn’t afford a shop/road call, so it was my dad or myself fixing our trucks on the side of the road. Around 2000 or so, I worked for a company that had very late model equipment, and I lost a water pump in Greeley, CO… I was SO relieved to go to an actual shop! Until! Exactly what you said! You’re right, trucking has always been stacked against the driver, but in the 70’s thru the 90’s we still had decent, if not great drivers.
Now? I don’t even come close to a truck on the freeway. These wannabes who don’t LOVE trucking and don’t want to learn anything about it are dangerous!! I grew up in Death Valley riding with my dad and several others, so I was blessed to learn things that you may never learn again, but today’s industry is sad & scary.
Sorry for the long post, but dammit if what’s happened to this industry makes me sick!

Sadly, I think it's not just this industry, I think it's professionalism in all workforces Nationwide. It used to drive me crazy in the army when I heard one of my troops say good enough for government work. I would get on him and tell him it's either good or it's not, do your job right. Unfortunately it seems our whole society has gotten that attitude though, good enough. Unfortunately though, I think it's not just the worker side, management and businesses in general don't reward good quality work done by professionals. We are all just a number.
Thank you for putting up with people like that. Thank you for keeping America running. Keep your head up man. Love your content. I'm not or never have been a driver.
My first load .. told the receiver it was my first..he put me on the last door… in a pit..wall along driver side… cars parked just out in front of it.. scared to death but got in with just one adjustment 1.5 ft from wall!! So proud of myself I took a picture and sent it to my trainer.. he laughed and said good job🙂
That’s not nice
The phone lady sounds like a Filipina or Indian, esp. with that "survey at the end of this phone call." I wouldn't expect a call back the same day
.
Your manner shows a connection with God. You are truly blessed!

So in the past few hours no one in Lumpkin GA works in the rain. And now no one in, “Back Ass” Alabama doesn’t work period! And people wander why people don’t go into trucking! Justin, kudos to you, your very understanding and patient.
Same thing happened to me one time picking up appliances to head home for Christmas, I was told it was rescheduled for after Christmas, I called XPO logistics they called the facility the facility was forced to load me, well needless to say they where mad and kept me at the door for 9 hours, no detention pay ... Ugh
I don't have the paper in front of me but that sounds like a contravention of contract, contradiction to conveyance as the saying goes as applied similarly to airlines and the crap pulled on that poor Oriental guy and many others you've likely seen the vids Visa these contract of carriage
Isn't that interfering with interstate commerce.
I've worked warehousing & cross docs, that gentleman is lazy af, he didn't want to start the work cuz he's to comfortable at his job.
I cant wait to start my trucking career, 4 months & im ready to ship off to what ever company will train me lol see yall OTR soon!!!! Be safe my brother & sisters.
Wanna learn how to back a big rig? Go get a tyco semi truck toy, draw some lines to look like a parking space for the truck. Grasp the toy truck on both sides of the hood or cab, whichever is over the steers and while you are backing the top truck, move the steers left or right to move the trailer to where you want it. Best way to learn how to back or run a truck. From an old-timer that remembers loose leaf logbooks, and only having to rest for 8 hrs.
Am Retired now nearly 10 yrs. A friend picked up a load of strawberries going to Safeway warehouse in Spokane WA. He hauled it up from California. Got there on time. Safeway warehouse receiver tells him he'll have to wait till Monday. He had a back load Friday afternoon. What to do? He calls shipper. They call URM in Spokane tells them his prob they buy whole load. Driver leave Safeway. Goes to United retail merchandisers (URM) unloads. Picks up back haul back to California. Safeway calls shipper they say we made a mistake we need that load now. Shipper says it been resold. The next time my friend went to Safeway they had no problems taking the load
From one trucker to another I like what I see and keep up the good work keep America moving be safe out there brother
as a Retired Trucker, I enjoyed the memories.. thank you.. and the John 3:16 on the back of the truck is very cool and a good Touch.. May God Bless you my Brother in Christ... happy trucking praying God keeps you and your family safe...
I work at a printing company for 6 months now now or to load a truck and my shipping manager and shift lead have never refused a load in 30 years between them. We’ve sent a driver back for stuff he “forgot” (claimed there was too many numbers and too many BOLs to verify what was on the truck, there was 12 pallets with 6 BOLs) and he copped a bad attitude. Love to see you’re always positive! Been watching you for a few days now.
Gotta love this Atlanta traffic! Love the weekends we say good-bye to the city and hello to the beautiful mountains! Love it when you go up through Traveler's Rest to Asheville! Hope you & the family have a great 4th!
Yikes! The ultimate runaround good luck guy on future loads! Nothing like a trip to firework store to blow up some frustration lol
LOL !! only 1 mattress and 1 ladder in the road today ~~~!! You were lucky LOL..
I'm a former truck driver and it sounds to me that you young man have a good attitude for the job good luck
They forget that they’re just employees!! Do your FN job or quit!
That's why I quit, I refused to load a truck close to quitting time, I wasn't trying to be a dick to the driver, I was just sticking it to my boss, for minimum wage it's hard to stay motivated when your boss is a dick.
@@dune4433 AMEN. Your a person not a tool.....
Perfect Backing Lesson🌍💯🔥. Everything made Sense. Thank you!
My boss worked on a big wally account for years, sent me out with the first delivery and I was told I would be unloaded. It was 8 pallets of fish and ice about 10.000 lbs per pallet. When I got to wally world they said it would be 300.00 to unload. They could have used a fork lift and unloaded in 5 minutes, but they left me in a giant warehouse and I had to hand unload those 200 lb coolers 2 deep all over the warehouse, 8 pallets turned into about 48 pallets. I drove back home for 5 hours and figured I would be fired , and when I got there the boss had already heard the news from the Winchester wally super warehouse that I would be unloaded immediately from now on at no cost. You should have seen the smile on his face, and I got a 300.00 tip from the boss
Love your attitude man! The world needs more people like you! Stay safe my friend!
Thank You Matthew
God bless you. Jesus was shining through in this video. ✨
That rain reminds me of a downpour I got caught in at Roseville CA. It was like someone turned on a fire hose. Going about 50 yards from my truck to the entrance door got me soaked clean through - even running!!!
Good backing tips as well. How about a drone shot of you backing up with voice over commentary? It might help the newer drivers out there.
Justin, when you got off that exit.. I know EXACTLY where you were. You turned right at the 1st light into industrial park. Very next light there is a Hampton Inn. Turn left at that light goes directly into Norbord. Just FYI. Could have picked you up a load there
My favorite is when I ring the door buzzer at the door and I can hear people inside talking, but they are apparently all deaf. The attitude is "let someone else get the door".
All you young bucks should take note of this driver. This is professionalism defined
It’s getting increasingly harder to get loaded and unloaded for some frustrating reason…
This new generation of workers have abdicated their man cards.
That's why.
Agreed sir, indeed they have. The pride of earning an honest day’s work and having a solid work ethic is also being eroded…
Lazy comes to mind.
As someone who used to work in warehouse shipping, loading trailers etc, I can guarantee to you that the managers/higher ups of such places are NOT nice people. And not that I would want my bosses to be my best friend, hell no, but they have an alarming, I wanna say, ‘disconnection’ from their employees.
Treat their employees like crap, working conditions are crap, pay is usually crap. I have yet to see a shipper that offers their warehouse workers full benefits. The warehouses are rarely heated or air conditioned, and it’s a dusty, dirty environment. After a few hours of working in there, you’ll be shoveling dirt and dust out of your nose.
I mean, when I can make $15/hr flipping burgers in McDonald’s, or make $12-$13/hr stressing out about loading trailers at breakneck and downright dangerous speeds in a poorly lit warehouse with a manager with a hair-trigger temper that screams at me because I have two different colored socks on (true story).
It’s a no brainer.
This really brought me back to my Otr days n raising a family
I don't know how you did it. You're a better man than me.
This is my first time viewing one of your videos. Your positive outlook is inspiring me to try to continue looking on the bright side. Thank you!
Been a minute since I caught one of your videos. I ran into those bad attitude, sh-t heads quite often; most especially, when I was pulling my own flat bed. The northern, union employees were among the worst. I left my wagon in the back dock, behind my church and started pulling vans and reefers for another company out of Eagan, MN., and Elk Grove, IL... Food Warehouses; shipping, but especially receiving were the most problematic for me. If I was ever burned by one, I would never pull it again. The company never gave me any grief, refusing to pull loads that I had problems with in the past. They would put me on high value, new customer contracts repeatedly; because I approached every shipper / receiver the same way you do, upbeat and positive... First impressions usually make the difference. Take care of your awesome family. God Bless!
Bless you bud
You want to mess up a golfer's swing, you ask him to explain how he does it while he's doing it. Explaining how to back a long trailer while you're doing it it makes it more difficult. I know that you can do better than that on distracted in a tighter spot. One of the few things in a while that make me miss driving.
I'm a Georgian and yes it is very illegal. Down here in South Georgia cops go out of their way to find them😂
You have a great attitude dealing with your professional life and that’s awesome! I wish I could meet more men and women just like you!
I spent my career in the trucking industry and I know just how difficult the job can be and you sir are an excellent example of what it should be like.
Sounds like that guy needs to find a new line of work.
Continental tire Mt Vernon IL same for me today! Very nasty attitude! Left empty with no load! 🤷♂️
Safe travels bro!
The way he treated you is why I quit otr and generally trucking.. im in logging now much smoother
I'm glad to have found this comment. I got an itch to start driving. But if something like this happened to me, I'd get a really bad attitude with a p.o.s. like this. I cant tell you what I'd do. This man is good at being passive aggressive. I AM NOT. I might hurt somebody....
This happens often?
Good job staying positive. The best to you and your family. Stay safe.
That baby in the crib is so precious..your blessed
Been away for awhile, still gettin it done w class, 2Cor.5:17. liked
I’d have rolled out as soon as he said I ain’t loading, to many loads sitting around to wait on somebody
I would've thought he would have headed out after worrying about not getting loaded. Instead he spent the night anyway.
You have a beautiful family brother. As a newish father. For some reason that clip of your son talking to his mom really made me happy.
😎🙏🏽
Also, I can back anything !! Grew up on a chicken farm. Driving the tractor & trailer for clean out~~ All kinds of crazy backing in a chicken house.. LOL..
What’s up Justin. That dude had serious attitude. Glad you nice to everyone. 👍🏽have a safe trip. And a good rest of the day. 😎🤟🏽💯
His boss should give him a permanent attitude adjustment
Next year I think you need to take your vacation around the 4th. This week has been crazy. Next week everything will start going in anticipation of fall.
I am not a Trucker. I only have a( B ) CDL. I Operated a 44 foot Ladder Truck, in the Fire Dept. So my hat is off to all of you men, who drive the Big Class ( A ) Rigs. To top it off, you also have to deal with people, who sometimes, take the word extreme,PAST the limit. I very much applaud your keeping your cool.
You are truly an amazing individual you’re very kind and you truly practice what you preach about love. Keep up these amazing videos and yes the back up video was awesome love learning more about the trucking life.
Just admired your "tutoring" on how to back a trailer in. Would suggest that you give a video on the do's and don't on how to back in a trailer.. This would be helpful for those with a car trailer or anything attached to the back of a truck/car. Keep the videos coming. You Rock! Peace.DVD:)
Backing a trailer: use your mirrors, go slow.
@@robertvanruyssevelt7159 Thanks :)
I recently backed my trailer in by following your suggestion as to how to position it. Worked like a charm. I'm driving a Dodge pickup with a truck camper and towing a 16' utility trailer with a Jeep on board. This change in procedure sure made it easier to get backed into my parking area.
just so ppl know, a sq mile has 640 acres
you really should email a copy of your video with the interaction of that employee to the parent company, that not rt., even if he couldn't load you, because they busy, better way to handle. He could be costing company money in loads being a jerk
great to see your courteous driving skillls sir. always happy and never bothered . thats cool
For a trucker, you carry yourself very well. My dad was OTR and I don't belive he would have been so calm, bc time is money. Thank you for sharing your videos.
Try backing up with an old Mack, no power steering, no air ride seats and no air on a sweltering day.Good workout but no fun at all.
Friends don't let friends drive crappy trucks!
I had no friends once and wound up in a 5-speed POS with a giant manual steering wheel that couldn't get out of it's own way! Month later I was in a clean 13 spd Pete cabover I fell in love with. She never saw dust on the dash for 2 years, full maintenance, polished my own wheels. Even after some long longnose rides including an anteater with a 444 Comealong, i still missed that Pete!
It is all relative, my grandfather drove a chain drive Mack from Bethlehem Steel to Sun Oil in Marcus Hook PA about 60 miles 3 trips a day. He could jump off the truck and take a leak while it was climbing the hill into Bethlehem, PA. It is no wonder those guys wore out quickly. My hats off to those guys.
It was a good workout and i never had back problems until power steering.Them old trucks kept you rugged.
Lol yep my first truck 71 cabover gmc no power nothing but left leg and arms. Even had air wipers and most guys didn't even know about them. Had all about 250 275 hp. Really no heat on winter. Had pull out button to kill motor.. also drove had old Ford with a compression release ring you pull out on winter to get motor spinning and slowly engage valves to get one cylinder to pop.. lol ahhh the good old days.. and my dad also talked about a chain driven straight truck..
Hello Justin, glad everything worked out for you. Did you ever have the opposite scenario where they're not going to unload you?
I know truckers hate delivering to the dock where i work, you can only back with the building on your passenger side. It really shows how experienced the drivers are.
You have a high level of experience, insight, and patience. You have a knack to find solutions to problems that many others may have been able to solve. You don't take things personally and have a winners mindset. Your videos are compelling to watch.
Justin dude you handle that really well, as a route driver ate a lot of crap from people. Put your pride in the truck and dont take it personal. Justin always be a fragrance and not an odor.
85 N to Greenville was packed this afternoon...I lost nearly an hour off my ETA from Perry GA to Greenville. I took the scenic route home...Hartwell-Athens-Madison-Forsyth. Better than stop and go all the way! Fireworks are legal in Georgia, but apparently there's a shortage so I imagine sellers are milking it for all they can. I was on the lookout for a truck with John 3:16 on the back but I never saw it...
I grew up in Atlanta and my dad was a long distance trucker and was owner/operator. He was written up in the Atlanta Journal Constitution for driving for 48 years without an accident.
Something you run into out there sometimes. Can't load till tomorrow. Seldom does any good getting upset. Hard not sometimes. In a way I would like to still be out there but my driving days are over. Had to retire a little early, was getting so I couldn't stay awake driving. Bad sleeping at the wheel. Just glad nothing happened before I got out. Enjoyed your video, well done.
