Pallets fell apart over the road. Picked up in St. Louis to deliver here Monday 8/12/24, it was not busy. Getting in was not bad. The pallets fell apart. The pallets consisted of 24oz cans stacked on flats wrapped in plastic. Just looking at those youād have to wonder how it was going to stay together. I didnāt make any emergency stops or take extra hard turns. Normal driving, to Virginia from St. Louis through Kentucky on 64. I would think after all these years in business they would have figured out how to put pallets together. It is not practical to drive 1000 miles at 30mph to keep the pallets from falling apart. There are only a few companies that I would never take a load from and Budweiser is now on that list.
The manager here didnāt want to unload the trailer. He stated that I was not his priority. He told me his priority was unloading pallets that were together. Had me waiting 6 hours before anyone started unloading the trailer. Also stated he was going to bill me the labor for restacking the pallets. I missed picking up the next load. That is a big loss. After 10 hours the yard jockey came and removed the glad, said they were done unloading but wait till get the green light before putting away.
I have carried beverages from various companies. Notable I recently had a load of Modelo Especial, which happens to be the new King of Beer after the transgender debacle. Company falling apart, pallets falling apart- Sounds fairly consistent. And to mention I went from the Mexico border to Salt Lake City and not one pallet of Modelo...

Me and my teammate were there on time and our load was about 44000LBS but they loaded us to the max and when we scaled driving out it was 47200LBS. We went back and talked to the management and the main guy named "Marcus Smith" who was loading us asked us to take this load and leave otherwise he will make us wait for another hour and will totally unload us. We didn't leave and after an hour he sent a guy and he totally unloaded us. We're waited there as per our broker's instructions and then their security called the cops on us. We showed them the paperwork and told the cops that this guy "Marcus Smith" was not agreeing to load us to the legal limit and instead of accepting his mistake, totally unloaded us. The cops called Marcus in and he told them that it is his job to load every truck to the max and he said it without any regret. This is the worst experience ever I had in my career. Truck drivers are the backbone of this nation and they should be respected. This unethical and arrogant behavior is totally...

I DROPPED MY TRAILER AND RAN TO THE STORE DOWN THE STREET. GOT A CALL FROM A GUY INSIDE SAYING HE WAS GO CANCEL MY LOAD. TOLD ME HE WAS GO CALL MY COMPANY AND TELL THEM I WAS RUDE, BUT I HAD NEVER SPOKE WITH HIM BEFORE SO HOW WAS I RUDE? HE BANNED ME FROM THE PROPERTY FOR NO REASON. WHAT HE DIDNT KNOW IS THAT IM FROM RICHMOND AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A PROBLEM IN MY HOMETOWN. IT IS VERY DISTASTEFUL TO HAVE A DRIVER SIT FOR NEARLY 5HRS WITH NO BATHROOM. JUST DONT MAKE APPOINTMENTS, LEAVE THE WINDOW OPEN SO THAT WE CAN HANDLE THINGS BEFORE WE.COME IN. YOU WERE VERY RUDE AND UNPROFESSIONAL. HOW CAN U HAVE A OVER 100,000 SQUARE FEET BUILDING BUT NOT HAVE RESTROOMS????š”š” WE ARE NOT ROBOTS, WE ARE ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS. HAVE SOME RESPECT SIR. JUST LIKE THE FEMALE DRIVER POST BEFORE MINES. IT PURE NON...
