    Yesterday zero containers, supposedly 3 today and tomorrow and 4 on Friday.
    They just can't seem to get them there and loaded the way they want. They are the people that bought all the pipe and are hand loading them.

    The containers thing is coming to a close and they will have to load the coils up by hand out in the yard.

    It seems that monday and Tuesday have become my weekends now. Still way better that working in the corporate world. I stay in touch with a former coworker/driver, nothing has changed there except they are working long hours because I'm not there. I almost feel bad for them..........almost.

    Good morning drivers hope everyone has a good and safe day today. Riding to work again today.
    No containers yesterday but maybe today they will come and finish up. Then they have to get the coils out of the field.
    My forklift got fixed again yesterday, but for how long?
    With those new lifts would show up.

    They loaded out only 2 containers yesterday it took them 8 hours. They are obsessed with weight instead of getting it done. So they have to load mostly by hand.
    That's on the contractor we only use forklifts.

    Only 1 container yesterday as the buyer is only interested in weight so mostly hand loaded by his contracted employees.
