Yesterday I got notice that our trailer was loaded and ready early. We stopped the truckstop broadcast and headed back to the shipper hoping to get a head start. I get there and yes, the trailer is loaded, but now it is waiting on Quality Assurance to sign off on it. The original last minute departure time was 9pm. We sat and waited the day because they kept telling me just 30 more minutes . Those 30 minutes added up to 1am!! So, now, I get attached to the trailer and try to get out the gates. No deal. The seal that their QA department put on doesn’t match their paperwork so it makes everything invalid. The funny thing is the folks that can make it all right don’t come in until 6am. So……the delays and wait continues.. ..

Happy Mother’s Day!
