Dumb Farm Operations

11/10/08
Picked up a load at a tomato canning place. Took me over 5 hours to get loaded and that seemed to be the norm around there. Typical food operation; they have a load to fill and order a truck before they have the product to ship, then make the driver wait while they get around to getting the order ready. I’ve dealt with the same problem before when I used to haul produce. No matter what time the driver appears, the product is never ready. The driver loses,as we don’tget paid to sit for the first few hours, and the shipper loses as they get charged extra for the truck to sit, and it all gets piled onto the cost at the grocery store.
