Oh how im glad thats over with

Well my Reload came through Sat morning, A load of produce from Vineland NJ going to Toronto for 6am the next morning,this is where the next few days went all wrong.I get to Vineland only to be told the order isn't ready it may be some time, this is at 11.30am,they weren't wrong 9.30 pm i was duly loaded then told to come back in half an hour for my bills ARGGGGG.1 full day without earning a cent,eventually i get my notes to be told, YES told you will be there on time won't you by the customer, well i will let you use your imagination of what the answer was.All i wanted to do was to get out of Philadelphia then park up.Last thing to do before sleep,send a message explaining my situation, then sleep.Having my time off i decided on getting a shower then hopefully hitting Toronto just before tea time, no need to rush was the message i was sent they shut at 11.00am we've rebooked it for 5 am in the morning.The route i was taking was to take me through Niagra Falls in which there is a massive outlet shopping centre, so i decide to have a couple of hours walking around the shops, no i didn't buy anything maybe next time.Normally before i get to the border i give my broker a call to make sure everything is ok with my paperwork and that im clear to cross the border,but this time with my mind occupied with retail thoughts well i forgot,bloody typical i get to the border and im not clear to cross (thats what happens when somone else says they will fax all the paperwork through)so a delay of nearly 2 hours before everything is sorted.My delivery time was at 5 which wasn't a problem, me then thinking well i will be able to get a little shut eye while they tip me, OH i wasn't wrong 8 1/2 hrs later i was still on a bay,the icing on the cake or so i thought was when the guy came out with my bills and asked for $89.00 for the pleasure of them tipping me and keeping me there nearly 9 hrs in which i have earn't absolutely nothing,My Pleasure you robbing T***s.I had already recieved my reload so off to Brampton where we have stand trls and result mine was loaded,now this was the icing on the cake some total asshole had dropped the trailer in there with 3 Bald tyres and 1 flat one you can imagine what sort of mood i was in now,i then wait 2 hrs for a guy to come out and change them, now upto this point since saturday morning (this is now 4pm monday)i worked out my total earnings was $159.00, so i was in no mood for the tyre fitter to tell me that he wasn't going to torque my wheels up (basically because the idiot had forgot to bring it with him)well this is where he recievd the full rath of me and was told to go and F*****g get it and Torque Them up D***eD. 1 hour later he duly returned and finished the job he started.My trailer was loaded with 2 drops Shediac NB and Summerside PEI,which i thought no probs ha ha ha again WRONG,when i get to Shediac on Wed morning i saw the recieving bay you couldn't get a box on it never mind about 15 pallets,i really need one of those stress dolls i think, no probs i say give me a shout when your ready i say through very gritted teeth,i finally left 7 1/2 hrs later.I had decided on my way back that im going to take a couple of days off so all i wanted to do was to get rid off the rest of this load and get out of here, well the first bit of luck came in a message my final delivery point won,t accept there delivery just drop the trailer there and pick an empty one up and head back to the yard, well you don't have to tell me twice.
