Ummm running reefer you’re lucky to get under 2hrs from most places imo lol. My max wait was from some juice company in New Jersey, can’t remember the name. Something farms. Waited 16hrs.

When I did reefer my longest unload was 18 hours. *In the dock.* Walgreens distro in Perrysburg, OH. My company was like, "we'll get you detention." I was like "GET THEM TO FINISH LOADING!!" Luckily my current company doesn't play that mess, but it's also dry van, so yeah.

It's either... "Ahh, I can take a long needed nap." and you're unloaded in 15 minutes Or "I didn't bring a lunch and I a starving" and it takes 5 hours.

At a prior workplace, under the old logistics director, we -the warehouse staff- had the choice to let a driver nap or use our break room temporarily. One time, a dedicated driver ended up napping for about 3 hours while we were fixing a mistake plus an add on the shipment. He came inside spooked thinking that he was running behind schedule. He wasn't and the thing got fixed right as he was about to head back to make himself a small meal.

Every damn time. Nothing happens so you make lunch and the minute the microwave beeps they’re done.

This but with falling asleep for a nap. I’ll be sitting for hours but as soon as my eyes close BOOM, there’s the forklift.

The magic trick to make them hurry up is to lay down and try to get some shuteye. They instantly come out to knock and let you know you’re good to go.

If you decide to lay down and take a nap they knock about the time you start dozing off.

Putting food in the microwave is my voodoo trick to get them to actually finish me.

I pull out the Steam Deck and start up a game, most of the time they'll come tell me it's ready pretty quick.

Kicking my shoes off and laying down usually works for me

I’ve had times where I didn’t even switch my duty status after bumping the dock and they’re telling me it’s done. I’ve had two times where I took my 10 at the loading dock.
