Waiting and waiting

Wednesday morning I delivered my load of cereal at the Kelloggs DC on the southwestern side of Atlanta. Since it was a Kelloggs load there was naturally a long delay, counting and recounting and a variety of other problems. My arrival time was 0645 (for an 0700 appointment) and I think I rolled out of there just before noon.

I waited for a while, doing paperwork and whatnot. Finally, I beeped my dispatcher but nothing doing there. After another wait I phoned in but he was in a meeting so the guy covering his fleet told me there were a number of our drivers in the area who were waiting on loads. Great.

Finally the news came down that I was stuck for the day and they'll try again in the morning. I'm glad I had someplace to park.
