The great plan vanished

I was hoping I’d have an update for you by now, but I don’t. So what exactly happened? The delivery appointment we had was 7am Friday. We rolled up to the gate about twenty minutes early and the receivers refused the entire trailer because this old trailer we have has the old style roll door on the back instead of the regular swing out doors. They claim the new warehouse they are in doesn’t allow proper fitting of the trailer. They also claim their forklifts are too high and won’t fit inside the trailer. Remember, we picked up this trailer originally from Aurora, Illinois and it was already preloaded for us when we arrived. We have also accomplished two other full trips with this same trailer. Regardless of the circumstances, end result is full load refusal. They want their product transloaded on to another newer trailer. The delay seems to be centered around getting permission to break the original shipping seal, where to find a newer swing door trailer, finding the manpower and equipment needed to make the move. All the bosses have been working on a solution since this morning so all we can do is wait. At this time, we still are scheduled to reload for our next trip from this same building we are waiting to deliver to. As soon as I get more updates, I’ll let ya’ll know.
