The odd time I end up dispatching, I find contractors are easier to deal with than retail customers. Most times contractors plan well enough in advance, retail customers, however, seem to think we sit around waiting for the $500 order that they get once every two years. When asked for a delivery time, I tell them AM or PM, too many unforeseen circumstances can take place in between.
see its funny because on the flip side, i worked as a coordinator for a retail business, and honestly the trucking industry was the worst at demanding timeframes, we'd either get no call and they'd show up at 7am and had one even force a bay door open and drop the order without us signing, or would call 15 minutes before they are their thinking we could drop everything and have them as the first unloaded.
People like that usually just want to be there to micromanage you and tell you how to do your job. Usually they just end up getting in the way making things more complicated than need be.
Yeah I got that joke about the doors I almost made me choke on my f****** blunt next time you going to tell a funny joke give us a heads up please cuz you're a funny bastard thank you again we love your videos
Yeah man its getting bad. Never seen so much ignorance disrespect and entitlement behavior in my life. No manners or respect of any kind. Please and thank you goes a long way.
Entitlement is the perfect word. Fedex driver here. We get all the time, "please deliver after 5pm, or back porch through the gate." Not to mention the full bed set they ordered from wayfair but want us to carry it up 2 flights of stairs for them
my FedEx guy and I are tight. When I have something heavy coming I meet him at the curb with the hand truck. I'm like man no need to bust your back up. Furniture I come out to help doesn't matter who's delivering especially if it's one guy alone.
Man I remember driving for Sysco every restaurant hated getting there stuff at lunch time because it was a busy time for them but someone has to get it at that time lol
I love these videos. It remines of the worst year of my life when I ran a warehouse delivering large appliances for a major retailer. The abuse that my drivers went through with customers who were promised we would do everything in the world for them by store personnel. They would even tell them that when delivering a washer we would do a load of laundry to make sure the machine worked properly. Customers were given at time of purchase a delivery guide explaining what we will do and what we won't. They conveniently ignored this and heaped verbal abuse and racial slurs at my drivers. One time even an assault. Much respect to you and the work you do. Count me in as a new subscriber.
I work for a small landscaping company. We get product all the time mulch, gravel, soil etc. delivered. Work with them and they’re more then happy to help. If I want it in a tighter spot I always ask if that’s do able. Because I was brought up that you get more with honey then vinegar
Not really. The point made here was that it was an all day delivery but sometimes you really do have to have something at a certain time. I work on construction and manage all those things and 95% of the time noone has to wait. I have to manage 30 deliverys a week on one site and if one truck is 2 hours to late he will be blocking the next truck. You cannot order materials for 7 in the morning and have it come 3 hours to late when your workers have nothing to do. Tomorrow im getting concrete, the next day at 7 a truck full of bricks, next week the concrete again. Again, if you give shipping companies enough time heads up it works. I never complain to the driver because they are told were to go. Besides that I know them all and they would just tell me to fuck off lol.
I disagree. Doctors and Dentists need to stick to their appointment schedule as best they can, cause they aren't just seeing you, they've got appointments every 20 or 30 minutes. Don't be late!
@@jmilz08 Not only that the ones coming in now are top tier either I have a 10 year perfect driving record and experience with flatbed, dump truck, dry van, otr, local, and Mofette
@Crypto Kingpin good as it should be . I commend you . I’m not saying that’s a bad thing I was just stating ( for the most part ) the truth ...well before when people wanted to work
Built multi-story commercial buildings and had the material there the day before I had the hands show up. I had a good repore with the supply company and their workers. My orders were typically a 5 digit number.
As if you have control over when you can pick up the materials, traffic, and other uncontrollable events. I always ask for a window of time, which can be 3-4 hours. Some customers just have no clue. Good joke on the commo-doors. ROFL I really dislike control-freaks I was married to one, glad he is long gone.

Hey I've just found the channel today and have been bingeing episodes and in one episode u mentioned Plainfield, and in this one Mystic, are you based out of CT??
This guy’s TH-cam channel is the perfect example why 3rd party people should never get involved in a seller & buyer. The blame is always placed on someone else.
When I called for a tech to come to our home they usually have a morning, afternoon or evening slot where they can come within certain hours. Other than that they cannot come in at precise time.
4:16 its always funny when people change their tone like that. those people expect to just walk over others to get what they want, but never expect it back, especially when the other party is unmoving about the matter.
There are an untold number of reasons that a delivery may be delayed. Whether it be a courier in a small van or a truck with a lot of materials I accept that there are restrictions on when and where they can deliver. If I get it on the expected day then I'm happy. I always do my best to be polite and ask if there is anything I can do to help (the normal answer is a laugh and 'stay out of the way'). If it doesn't arrived on the day I can pretty much guarantee that it is not the fault of the driver so why on earth have a go at them. Be nice, be polite and strangely enough they will be the same.
If it is an all day window the delivery can be made anytime in that window. If no one is there that's their problem. The driver leaves it in a safe place. Job done. It is easy for some office waller to say 'oh yeah, the driver will be there at such and such a time'. The driver gets there when he gets there. He has to deal with hold ups, delays etc.
In my last job, we had a saying, usually reserved for the sales manager, "It doesn't matter how many times you ask the same question or how many different ways you try to phrase it. The answer will still be the same!"
It looks like you could write a book on your experiences with customers as with myself being a seller on Ebay since it started. Maybe when you get yours published I will buy a copy if you buy mine too!
Customers like demanding a certain time... I was an electrican for some time When a customer demanded a certain time start I said no problem We start at 7am. For me to guarantee your 11 am start on her job I could do that But she would be charged starting at 7am. She need to book all that time For the guarantee.... They never took me up on it.... When I got there was fine
I know who promised him that it would be there between those times.Its those the damn salesman Chris,Well at least that's how it is for me. They're always promising 7 AM in the morning little do they know I have a bout 12 stops on my truck . and all my stops were promised at 7 AM. do you know what I say....Hurry up and wait!!!!!
LOVE the Commodores but not Lionel Richie...My favorite song Brick House (of course) then Sail on...Machine Gun....Night Shift..and Oh No, when I"m sad For you guys that don't know them take Mikes advice and go look them up
you should carry a small pallet jack with you on the truck. You can use your forklift to unload it . It will take you 2 minutes to unload and they are cheap. By having the pallet jack with you, you can charge the customers extra for the additional service and at the same time avoid the hassles of complaint customers.
We all know its the part time idiots at HD who promise the customers these delivery times. I did non Moffet deliveries in upstate NY and dealt with this issue all. the. time.
I didn't think about him meaning, "The Doors." Good guess, but I think he said, "Calm-A-Doors," a homonym for the, "Commodores," a pretty popular band out of the 70's. I could be wrong though, I'm still reading through the comments.
I've watched a handful of these videos and I've noticed one commonality I have with this guy. We have similar hiccups, one maybe two and thats about it
Enjoy the videos... buttttttt you gotta do something with all the vids cutting off in 8:52. Just very annoying bro. I'd like to see the outcome of what I started watching.
I've done a lot of different jobs, truck driving is the easiest job I have ever had. So stress free. So easy, just driving and dropping stuff off.
