“WALGREENS DC Calls Police on Me” Daily Life OTR Trucking Fails 

Used to unload trailers it does not take 3 hours to do that, a fully loaded 54ft trailer should only take 30min or so. Walgreens must have maning problems and should just hire people at what they are worth

I would be ashamed if it was my company doing that to someone like this. If they were being not so nice, then take near on 2 hours to unload.

See officers like you that understand we need more of them and take out the bad ones that don’t do their job right mad respect for you and thanks for your service

@Jefferson Keane ummmmm he's an OWNER/OPERATOR. He is his own boss and books his own jobs. These guys are a necessity and it's very unlikely Walgreens or any other company will blacklist a guy for this.

@Jefferson Keane go back to bed boomer

AND they put lock on his truck his trailer, so he couldn't take it.

@@jgjg3848 Any cop that knows the law would be on the trucker's side. That's property theft. They lose money the longer they have to wait.

This is why I work for a company where all I have to do is relay trailers, I absolutely refuse to deliver to customers. I don't care if I am the only driver that day who could deliver the load, the customer can wait for someone who is willing to deal with them ...

yes and with a teeney weeney load. Bad management it is rampede!

@@wilburcobb4596 I unload my own trailer and get paid well for it. I absolutely refuse to sit at a dock and let some lumper spend twice as long as needed

This is literally every single warehouse

@@bamaramify it shouldn't be, and wouldn't if they were charged with wasting people's time.

Agreed i work in a 2 man team to unload loosely packed items it takes 10-20m to get a 14ft trailer that was packed full unloaded no forklift or anything i mean seriously it should take 5m at most with a forklift to unload that truck

shouldn't take more than a minute per pallet if everything is organized properly. maybe a bit more if the pallets or jack is damaged somewhat.

@@zharpain those are pallets of soap....not warehouse would make someone unload those with a pallet jack...those have too weigh like 1500 pounds each

Police also have to make sure that civil arguments are being handled lawfully. IE investigate if his forced detention is legal ( the lock ). The reality is that the police are being called in to handle a dispute. Sometimes the person calling the police is the one who is legally in the wrong.

Im no lawyer, but if they were violating a federal law with that two hour rule, seems like it was more than a civil matter.

@@bigmacdoubleyouv Its not really a thing; drivers just feel they are more knowledgeable then they are. This is common occurrence with many issues while looking at the reality of this situation. I heard the same thing when I started my OTR career back in early 2000's about it being illegal to carry a firearm in a CMV. All these seasoned professionals and steering wheel holders would state how you couldn't legally carry a firearm. None of them were able to answer a few simple questions or cite legal statute and governing authority were said laws exist or are being regulated. To test the validity of the federal detention argument there are a few logical questions to consider with regard to the statement as proposed: 1. Federal law. What is the statue number and who is the governing authority? FMCSA, DOT, OSHA, IRS, ATF. There is a common practice or industry standard practice but in reality NO such STATUTE exists. But for argument sake, let's say one does on a Federal level the following question should be answered: 2. Governing Authority. Who is the governing authority and who has jurisdictional control. i.e. who do you contact to enforce such matters, the F.B.I., D.O.T., O.S.H.A., A.T.F., F.E.M.A., I.R.S. or County, local or State police? 3. What is the Process. Is there a specific federal court that listens to these cases and or is there a special magistrate that is in charge and is this criminal or civil? Again, neither cause NO SUCH ORDINANCE EXISTS... Just looking at a few things logically shows how absurd the mere statement of such is, but happens all the time and can't convince those who want to be argumentative of the absurdity of their stubborn illogical and egotistical thinking. Yes it sucks, that we as drivers are at the mercy of some BS practices and have to eat crow and I don't disagree that is not right. But in reality, you are making $1800 or whatever similar value for hauling a half trailer worth of semi-lightweight product a few hours and few hundred miles away. Drop the load, record detention times and put in for compensation and move on. Next time that load comes up its a negotiating point to drive the rate up a few hundred dollars or refuse it altogether. These are choices we have control over. Be grateful you have the opportunity to provide a good living for you and your family and stop sweating the small stuff and control that what we are able. On a side note; the trailer glad hand lock was probably placed on there as a safety precaution since, which you decided was not necessary, since you had obviously been up to them several times to inform them as to your displeasure of waiting for such a long period. It was insurance that an irate driver didn't couple back up to trailer and pull out while a tow motor happened to be completing the operation. Not sympathizing with Walgreens practices, but I also wouldn't want to see a warehouse worker get injured because an irate driver who felt justified, decided to pull his trailer from a dock door without informing them and causing a preventable accident. Two sides to a coin.

@@rpruneau68 You sound like the guy that works for that one airlines that keeps knowingly overbooking flights only to knowingly screw over people on vacation. Just sayin!

He could have the US Marshals their the ones to call because it's a federal law. A driver was told by an officer that he had to move his truck. Driver refused because he was out of hours. The driver called the US marshals and a marshall came out and told the officer that the driver would not be able to move his truck till he regained his hours back.

Same i work guard for shipping & receiving companies.. for the last 2yrs and man.. one place was a brewery and we clocked in & out 300+ trucks in 8hrs.. i had the most efficient shift to ever be posted there.. i was the 3rd in command.. the other 2 worked mornings.. ( they sucked at efficiency ) anywho and i always tried to treat truckers with the utmost respect knowing they have regulated clocks nothing they can do about it. So i try to make the process as smooth as possible for em. Where i am now.. i still do the same hell sometimes they see me sprinting across the property trying to run back to my position from inside the warehouse & they just yell.. take ya time.. no rush.. and im like ya sure!? They appreciate the effort ya know.. besides i used to run track & field so i think he was just surprised i made the attempt to run so far 😂😂

When I worked as security, our facility managers would not allow anyone to stay on the grounds overnight, even if you were over HOS, it sucked having to tell people that.

Update:. I quit that job Friday,. The company went in the toilet,. Start a new job Monday Since I quit things will become chaotic for any truck driver that pulls into that yard,. I apologize in my absence.

@@IparanoiaZ 300??? You need to go across the country and give these companies some training lol.

CEO must have been the owner too, not just a hired gun, and we're talking 40 years ago when blue-collar workers were still considered human.

Drove in the 80s as well. Pulled a load for kraft foods going to a federal AAFEEs warehouse. Got there an hour early, they snidely told me as much and they were crazy backed up with trucks. I waited for a door and they kept stalling me even up 2 hrs past my appt. I told them it was $300 an hour detention fee for every hour after 2 from the appt start time starting the first minute after. They told me they won't pay that and I wasn't allowed to leave. I called the freight forwarder and told them I had other freight appts and they needed to fix it. They called around and called back and told me to leave and drop it at their lot at another location. When I went to leave you have to enter and leave thru a gated guarded fenced lot. The manager at AAFEEs told the gate guards not to let me leave. I called the police and threatened to have them charged with unlawful restraint. The cops came and ordered them to open the gate. Mind you this is on Federal Gov't. property. I had the cops get everyone's name involved, the managers, the gate guards, in preventing me from leaving and told them they were going to hear from my lawyer and added as accessories in the lawsuit. That was just to see the look on their faces especially when the police said after they admitted not letting me leave that they could arrest them on the spot. Some jacka** warehouse mgr gov't employee thinking he was the big man in charge. Was paid for the delivery and 3 hrs detention. Went back 6 mths later and was early and left in just over an hour.

@@bobwhite6488 Good for you. I have always said that if someone tries to pull shit, hold them accountable, it doesn't matter if it is something minor or not, because odds are if they get away with it once they will do it again, but if you make them pay for their BS, the people responsible learn fast or get promoted to unemployment.

Awesome

I was thinking the same thing. I'ld likely pass on any of their lods.

If your owner operator that's fine. But if your company driver you don't have the liberty of refusing a load. If you're that company driver you're just stuck there you can't do a thing about it most dispatchers don't give a damn about you they get to go home at night

@@russellpearce3749 true but then you have to make the decission if you're going to stay with that company or leave to another. There's still a choice regardless

Not true; Wal-Greens is considering closing numerous locations in California due to the rampant theft from the stupid pro-criminal policies put in place (no bail, theft less than $1,000 is just a ticket, etc.).

@@TLM-Nathan I used to manage a store in the west side of Chicago and we had everything locked up on the shelves. They would break through it and take stuff still. Corporate never gave me armed security. It took 2 hours for cops to show up at my store when someone threatened to stab me. I had a hammer behind my vest tucked into my pants in case I had to use it on the guy. That was routine I had when I was handling money and doing deposits at night, I would have the hammer on hand. The manager that trained me, Arthur Waldrom, broke down and hung himself in a suburban store.

I got arrested when I was 21 for stealing a pack of condoms at Walgreens. I was young and stupid and drunk but the crazy part was when the store manager caught me he pointed his finger at me and was like, "my own son steals from me so I damn sure ain't going to have you stealing from me." The cop was shocked that the manager wanted me arrested over three bones and he laughed about it on the way to the jail....although I wasn't laughing

I'm otr last 3 years. I don't think it's so easy. Driving straight easy but rest, not so much. Brokers, DOT, not enough parking, almost nothing goes to plan, crazy 4 wheelers, unorganized distribution centers , non-English speaking guards & office staff, banging around in sleeper, etc etc.

H.E.B. in Texas does the same thing. I had a L’Oréal/Maybelline to San Marcos DC, went in after 3 hrs and they’re only half done, after 6 hrs only 3/4 done, then finally got my signed bills after 7.5 hrs. They did the same unload, 1 pallet off, break it down, scan each item, then put it away. Over 5400 pieces, and they still charged a $425 lumper fee.

Thank You

@@JustTruckin ...anytime. (keep that "shiny" side UP.

I won't say where I work, but we go to the Walgreens distribution on a regular basis. They seem to treat everybody like that. The warehouse workers are nice but the management is awful

Facts.

Man, you aren't kidding. 12 years of backpay? I could pay cash for a sweet place.

Its phucked up....ppl loading & unloading are paid by the hour and drivers are held hostage! Better productivity would be to pay by trailer loaded & unloaded. That would at least incentivize workers and expose slackers

It took you 70 years to learn that ? Must've been a stressful life.

Are you still trucking at that age ???

That's an awesome comment always learning something new no matter how long it takes

I'd be a awful attitude to have while driving let alone dealing with every other part of the job

Boi u didnt learn that til 70?

BJs wholesale in jersey was the worst for that, sure they would put you in a door early, but then forced you to sit in their waiting area (rather then letting you lay down in your sleeper, keep you there for 10 hours and then run you off the property as soon as they finished. I finally just quit answering them when they pounded on the truck, After all, who gets penalized when the local pd checks your logs if you left?…. Not the jackals who detained you unpaid for all those hours.

What do you do in that situation ?

@@ChrisB10 if the place is big enough to blend in, I’ll go hide. If not, I’ll go off duty pc to get somewhere close by to finish my break.

If it's a live load and they say to leave the property, leave with the trailer attached.

@@ChrisB10 split your sleeper and ride out not that bad of an issue right now if you know how to manage your logs.

Delivered a load 5yrs ago 10 half pallets took 6hrs to unload still had 2 more stops after. I refuse all CVS and Walgreens loads. Lose money everytime.

You should sent to Other Trucking companies & Owner Operators. About Walgreens. Ban theme.

@Mann Solo Nah, he ain't a real trucker. What he is, is a pushover. He enjoys shippers/receivers giving it to him in the backside. and by the sounds of it, so do you. This was half a truck load of basic pallets, nothing big nor serious. Should not take a big company like Walgreens to offload something like that. You're delusional if you think otherwise. Pretty sad when the Cops' need to come to give the company a good old kick in the ass.

@@samuelreatz3388 target is just as bad if not worse

Walgreens will be out of business within twenty years

Companies...Definitely. Also cities and states...shutting down rest stops, DOT harassment, and so much more.

Come on now. Not ALL truckers should be treated like gold. I worked for at least a decade unloading and loading trucks. A few were kicked out of the yard after yelling matches about stupid bull shit without even being unloaded. One place I was at had a lot of LTL loads and they would always make us move stuff around and/or drive through a maze on a trailer to get to our stuff and would get all pissy about possible damage. So I made a waiver the driver had to sign that stated that if they made us touch anyone else's product or drive around anyone else's product that we would not be held liable for any damages. Don't think it held any actual legal standing but we didn't have to do deal with that much more after that. Loads magically started appearing on the lip of the trailer when they'd show up. Wouldn't even drop the plate. Drive up, pick it off, check, sign papers, and he or she would be on their way in less than five minutes.

@@justgary4342 calling bullshit on that

@@BIackCadillac what part?

@@PWN_Nation it fuels the shortages and allows demand to exceed supply artificially. lame. also of course they try to get away with hiring less than needed employees and then working them to the bone since they are easily replaced. Wish most people where actively boycotting companies that do this kind of thing, then we would all live better lives.

Unfortunately, CVS isn't any better in terms of drug stores. They have gotten prescriptions wrong for us multiple times. The worst was when they gave me Prozac instead of my son's seizure medication. Utterly inexcusable, but just like Walgreens, they are constantly short-staffed and run ragged and no wonder there are mistakes. It's all pressure from the top and they let the front line people take the brunt of the frustrated customers.

@@SteveKasian That's a good idea!!!

@@SteveKasian I wouldn't drive in a truck I didn't put a lock on. It's on there to keep the brakes locked so they don't release them and pull away from the door with someone still inside. Pulling that plate and taking the lock of yourself before the unloaders are done with it is a good way to get told you're not allowed to come back to somewhere, no matter how good the pay is. I'm not defending how this guy was treated at this DC by any means, but those locks are there for the safety of the people driving in and out of the truck, and if you bypass that you probably won't be coming back there.

@@MORGAN-zz8tr it's called "persuading people to do the right thing... fast"

You're an awesome cop

Thats fucking hilarious

@@MORGAN-zz8tr Persuading people to be doing what they should be doing is what that is. The officers were there on a legitimate call, the call wasn't resolved until the truck was unloaded. Standing around with a thumb up your ass is boring for what could be hours so you use your eyes, ears and nose to find things that are additional legitimate reasons to be present at the location until your original call is completed. Very similar to a situation like working an accident on the highway, and someone decides to use the emergency lane /shoulder to bypass traffic. Officer sees it and has the person pull over, takes their drivers license and such and then gives them a ticket. It wasn't the officers original purpose for being there but it happened in his presence, or was investigated by him, it is still a legitimate use of police authority.

It’s also the idiots getting stressed out who scheduled their connecting flights 30 minutes after their flight touches down. I always schedule 2 hours minimum. I’d rather sit in an airport then deal with the stress.

I remember a family shouting and screaming at a rep cause they had too many bags and were too big. the father saw me and was like "What about his bag?" The rep looked over at my and saw my camping bag and kinda rolled her eyes at me. I took my bag off messed with the straps. made the bag like half the size that it had been and put it into the slot without issue.. The father was furious lmao

I was at the airport for a layover one time and LaGuardia's system was down or something. I ended up getting my flight delayed until the next day. After waiting in line for about an hour, watching people scream at this poor rep, who couldn't do a thing in the world to change the situation, I was polite, asked if the rep had taken a break or eaten yet (answer was no), and bought them some snacks. They ended up giving me a comped hotel room, and $50 in meal vouchers. It was 7 or 8pm, so it was basically bar money (free breakfast). Just goes to show that a little bit of love goes a long way.

I was a truck driver, but on day routes. Walmart was our nemesis. I drove refrigerated trailers with milk on them. Walmart would make us wait and some would even tell us to turn off the reefer which is against the law for cold chain product. They would give use an appointment and make you wait until that appointment. They would also refuse a load if you were 30 minutes late. I remember one time it was snowing really bad and they roads were awful. Highway speeds were down to 30 Mph. They refused the load then complained the next day that they were out of milk during a snow storm. LOL funniest thing when my boss told them we were overloaded with deliveries and they would either have to pay an extra fee for delivery or wait until the next delivery day which was once a week for this location.

Probably because the title has “walgreens” and “called the cops” lmao

Hot shot is very over saturated.

i retired back oh 2008 or so, but pay wages for y'all dry freighters hasnt gone up since the 90's

My dad says many drivers result from "driver mills," basically, the industry is being saturated with low-quality drivers. He has been driving for nearly 30 years, including as a fuel truck driver in the United States Army. He was also taught by old-timers who started their carer in rigs that had two sticks. I actually met one of those old-timers a few years back; as he came to pick up a trailer used for storage at a local thrift store, I was impressed with the love of driving that kept I'm doing it for forty-some od years.

Not to mention all of the fire Hoops you got to jump through to get a medical card

In the UK the government is going to extend drivers driving time, in July 2021, for a limited period they say, to cover a shortage of drivers. Just what drivers want, to work more hours. And in another news item, Iceland, the country, has tried getting people to work a 4 day week, get paid for a 5 day week and productivity creased and people were happier. How about Trying that, truckers work just 4 days a week but get paid for 5 ?

I used to bust serious humps unloading the trucks that came to my store. I always tried to get the driver back on the road ASAP. My father was an OTR driver for several years, then local driver for more after that so I always kept the driver in mind when loads came in.

Word of advice. Get into hauling Flatbed or Tankers.. I haven't done non hazmat tanker on the road (or hazmat for that matter) but I've heard they're always happy that you're there and treat you with kindness. I'm heavily considering going for Indian River Transport or Oakley Transportation for hauling non hazmat tanker. I just want to see another side of the industry. I've been doing dryvan/reefer for a while now and I want to try something new.

I drive a big truck (not a big rig) and pull a similarly sized trailer for work quite a bit. Finding places with big enough parking so I can run in and grab lunch and back out is a pain in the ass but at least there's this one taco bell that for some reason has like 5x the normal sized parking lot on my route where I can take up a double row of parking spots and there's still 40 spaces left for a place that usually doesn't have more then 5 or 10 cars at a time!

Being a former dock lead, I would try at the very least to give them a time table.

Those companies wind up having garbage bags thrown into their dumpsters. They asked for (sh) it.

Shit right infront of the staff door

My step dad drives. One of his main pickups never has his load ready when they are suppose to. Then the company he drives for has no back bone to make them pay him detention pay.

Thank FSMA and "Secure Facility" for that, anyone with a Walmart contract has to lock their facility down, which means somebody would have to sign you in and follow you to the bathroom, stand around until you finish, walk you out. Very few facilities have time for that bullshit and they weren't built with this in mind. We had a porta potty for drivers, then the company just took it away. The receivers are screwed if any drivers need to take a shit and those who sit in offices sure as hell aren't going to do it.

With time you could 🙏🏽

@@JustTruckin Any advice on how to do it? I want to be a trucker but that is the one thing I am dreading

Most drones have a halt movement mode, they just keep themselves right where you left it and some drones even have a tracker so they follow your phone.

@@StephenFasciani hater 🤣🤣🤣

@@perezmiguel7463 I was clearly joking 🙃

Lmao. I was thinking, "how in God's spiteful world is this guy controlling a drone and his semi at the same freaking time?!?!?".. Not hating. Just curiousing. Lol

What you don’t realize is that he’s probably viewing that live feed to assist his backing!

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Takes me about 30 minutes, and usually 25 for loading. We know what's going on, not coming off, and we do have to count what comes off. That accounts for the extra 5 minutes.

We could do it in 14min if I had my buddy free to jump on the second lift and we would set the timer to see how quick we could do it. If customer service sent a truck to our dock and never let us know about it, that was a different story, at least an hour to find out what was supposed to go on the truck then do the easter egg hunt through the warehouse to find it all, then paperwork from scratch. But if we had a couple-hour heads up of a truck and what it was picking up we could have everything staged. Sometimes the drivers would get a little disappointed because they just laid down to take a nap and we were done before they could get comfortable. But I quit dock work, driving looked like a lot more fun than being stuck in a hot warehouse all day every day. Now I drive the truck.
