Running your own Artic Lorry

[ollie989898]

The really annoying part of this 'trips in a day' stuff is the daft hours you can tip or load. Too many mills run 6am-2pm, even if you get a back load can you tip it at a feed mill, or have they all shut at 4 ?
and as soon as you get a rejection, all plans are off and everyone gets disrupted right back to the loads planned for the next day. We once had a rejected load of wheat on a truck for two and a half days, went to the fifth place where we finally got tipped and were then stuck 140 miles from home and couldn't find a backload.

been there, gave it up! saved my sanity I think.

Just refuse to tip at a mill then.

If all hauliers did that they would be screwed.

I cant believe they do, anyone else would charge waiting time.
