A bunch of useless crap
Published on February 2, 2007 By MasonM In Blogging
Made Cincinnati deliveries this morning, got stuck in the snow and slid into a ditch. One wrecker and $250 later I was rolling again. One of those days.

On my way to Southeastern VA for delivery tomorrow and then on to Tampa to deliver Monday. I spoke with the guy in VA. Even though the paperwork says "must deliver before noon" he said it really didn't matter to him and to just call when I'm about an hour out and he'll meet me. That takes a little of the pressure off, but I still have to keep stepping so as to be in Tampa at 8:00 am Monday.

Time to do a little log book cooking before stepping across WV.

That's usually a pretty good idea. I hate when they hide those pesky ditches under the snow where ya can't see them.

On the way.  It is in Wakefield about 45 minutes before you hit Franklin.

Ah ok. I'm in Emporia now. The guy in Franklin bitched from the second I rolled in to the second I left and was probably still bitching after that.

Why, you ask? Let me count the ways...

1. The die was loaded on a step deck instead of in a van trailer or even a flat bed. Either of which would have reached his dock. A step deck is too low for his dock.

2. Consequently he had to call for a crane to unload it (which is how most people do it anyway).

3. The die had some rust streaks on it. Naturally it was my fault. The fact that that it was shrink wrapped, covered with plastic sheeting, and then tarped didn't seem to matter. It was still somehow my fault.

4. The chains used to secure it to the deck left scratches on the steel. I explained to him that the chains were placed exactly where the manufacturer said to place them so as to not cause any damage to the actual functional parts of the die.

Once it was unloaded and he had marked the paperwork with his complaints, and I had marked it with the facts of the situation, he was still bitching. I told him next time he orders a die he should drive up to WI and pick the damn thing up himself. Have a nice day.

Asshole.

I don't even try

At least I'm sticking to my New Year's resolution of pissing off at least one person every day.

We all get our assholes in one fashion or another. I'm pretty lucky in that I don't get them all that often. When I do I just very politely tell them to fuck off.
