Have A Great Labor Day Weekend Everyone!
Topic 10213 | Page 1
This is true, but unfortunately many shippers and receivers don't seem to share this same work ethic on holidays...
I am on a 3 stop delivery in western Oregon, the second drop of which was made Friday around 1pm. But since the third stop does not accept Friday deliveries, is closed on weekends, and has Labor Day off, I had no choice but to park the truck, rent a car and drive home for the weekend. I'll be back on Monday night to finish up the load Tuesday morning.
Happy Labor Day!
Shipper:
The customer who is shipping the freight. This is where the driver will pick up a load and then deliver it to the receiver or consignee.
Have a great holiday weekend!

My first holiday on the job and I got held up for six hours at the consignee a few days ago. So many short runs since Thursday, I haven't left the Chicago-Milwaukee area. Work is work, but it's kind of a bummer when you have dinner, breakfast, and another consecutive dinner at the same truck stop. Oh well, I'll be home Tuesday so I'll hold my tongue. Drive safe y'all!
Consignee:
The customer the freight is being delivered to. Also referred to as "the receiver". The shipper is the customer that is shipping the goods, the consignee is the customer receiving the goods.

I like driving on the major holiday weekends, it's much easier to find parking!!
