231 miles today, I'm about 20 miles from dropping off my paper towels at Sam's in Lawton.
And this is the perfect picture of wasted time.
Arrived to unload my "members mark" paper towels today. The big rolls in the orange wrapping. 1250 cases, all on chep pallets.
3 1/2 hours later, my truck was unloaded.
I stayed in the door I unloaded in, proceeded to go inside with my pickup number.
Another 2 1/2 hours later, I was reloaded with the same freaking paper towels, same case count, same chep pallets.
6 hours at this place to have my truck unloaded and reloaded with the same crap.
To make it worse, other drivers were there for the same amount of time with the exact same thing happening. All Sam's loads.
With detention, I will be paid a little over $900 to take these paper towels 200 miles. That is after being paid $1750 to bring them to Texas from Georgia. So, more than $2650, just to me, to transport the paper towels, and it could have been direct shipped and delivered yesterday.
I love my job
