I got into Forest Park, GA yeserday afternoon, jes bout 10 mins after they stopped recivein, ok no biggy, I can wait til the mornin, I wasn't to worried bout it, then.. here comes three in the mornin my time. Someons walkin round inside my trailer... wakes me up wit all the bouncin round, so I git up, git dressed, start some coffee an go in to see what's goin on, I got straps all over everthin so I need to move that stuff out the way.

Bout time I'm gittin all that done, the dock is completely empty, not a sole in sight, then I hear someone comin along eventually, an he tells me.. well he really doesn't have anyone here yet to unload me an I'll havta wait a couple more hours.. then WHY OH FRICKIN WHY are you walkin round in my trailer wakin me up?!?!

I haven't got a real hard run today, jes bout 700 miles up to VA, but if'n I could git out of here right now it'd sure go along ways to helpin me git the rest of this load off today an then frees me up for this evenein where I could park by the beach an go hit on chicks.. I mean.. uh walk on the beach.. but if I've now got to wait another 2 hours, then start gittin unloadin, an no tellin when they'll git done, then I havta fight wit atlantas traffic, cause I'm directly south of the town an havta go straight through it later. Jes really annoyin, I'd rather have slept the extra couple of hours, but now I'm up, an I cain't 'jes go back to sleep'

So many people, aside from maybe squat cause he's had some expereince wit this stuff, haven't got a clue jes how big a wreck the transportation industry is.. I'm at a farmers market unloadin some machinery for em an these places are worse then jes regular grocery markets, horrid places, charge ya 11 bucks for a truck jes to come through thier gate, I didn't pay it, wasn't bout to, but any of the produce trucks havta pay that, now tell me why in the heck would a truck driver havta pay some stupid gate pass for someone elses freight anyways?? It's all soooo frackin crazy!

I remember we had this one delivery....for some dialysis crap for some lady like 80 miles from our terminal out on the rez....

We could only go this one day....(the rez is a typically done on consignment since there are usually only a few packages a week and it's too expensive to go ourselves)

So we drive way the heck out there anyway, attempt the delivery address at her home and she isn't there....but someone gives the driver directions to where she is...so the driver makes ANOTHER attempt to get her her stuff...

Finally finds her after driving all over timbucktoo, but then she explodes on the driver talking about her embarassment of her dialysis and know all these people know, blah, blah, blah...it was either deliver or DON'T get the stuff for another week....

She gets on the phone and hoots and hollers all the up to the regional VP of Conway Western trying to take as many people down with her as possible...

It's not our fault she has bad kidneys....we were trying to do her a favor and look what it got us....

Sheesh....I hate stupid people....

I may not appreciate the fineries of the transportation industry as far as freight or material goods delivery but I did drive medcar for one brief summer and I got a taste of what you have to deal with on the road as far as traffic...

And you prolly get it a hundred times worse than I got......

I'm glad I'm not in medcar or on the ambulance rigs....
