Zero to Minus Ten . . . .

Someone from Sterilite BHM emailed/contacted Transport America Weekend Dispatch Associates RELLA and GALE requesting a freight release number from Walmart. Gale from TA sent me two messages concerning the request via QualComm stating TA could not obtain a freight release number until Monday; and she sent me a message to leave Sterilite BHM and come back Monday morning to pickup my assigned WM Load.

I returned Monday and no one on duty knows what happened Sunday; and they are claiming no one from Sterilite BHM would have emailed TA and requested a freight release number from Walmart.

Fortunate for me, I document everything!!! (Drivers You Better Document Everything Just In Case You May Have to File Legal Pursuits.) I had Gale at TA to confirm that I was to leave Sterilite BHM and to Return Monday Morning.

IRONICALLY and at the time the confirmation was received from Gale at TA, Sterilite BHM stated the company's forklift driver went to load my truck and I wasn't on door #50.

A course I wasn't on door #50 because someone there told TA they needed a freight release #; then TA asked me to leave the premise of Sterilite BHM . . . . And right at that moment according to Sterilite's paperwork I was pulling off the door as the shipping manager and the forklift driver decide my trailer can be loaded without the freight release #.

STERILITE BHM is the worst of the worst of bad shipping customers I've encountered in the ten years I've been a commercial driver.

Drivers:

If you’re picking up, take the second left do not turn at the first left (that’s receiving). Once you enter, stop around Dock 39 and walk up to the shipping door. Hit the buzzer and wait for the shipping staff to let you in. Once inside, check in and you’ll be assigned a dock.

Important: Don’t show up too early they may turn you around. It’s best to arrive about 30 minutes before your appointment time.

After you’re assigned a dock, back in, chock your wheels, and wait for the dock light to turn red — that means loading has started. When the light turns green, you’re good. Hop out, head back inside, and get your paperwork.

Once you got your paperwork in hand, return to your truck, pull off the dock, and stop in front of shipping so the customer staff can seal your...

My appointment was for 1400 but I was close and arrived at 1000. They immediately assigned me a door and I was happy thinking that they would load me quickly. After 3 hours without movement I went to ask and that was when they informed me that I had to wait for the appointment time. I asked permission to drop the trailer and go to Walmart for a moment and turn quickly, they told me that I couldn't leave. I think that since I arrived I should have been informed that they would make me wait, I would have used my time doing other errands, here I am going crazy with no food and nothing to do, loosing...
