So today I get loaded in Laramie with a load going to North Carolina. 10,000 pound load, 5 pallets. Dispatcher messages me and tells me she wants to switch loads on me. She has a load at Fort Collins Anheiserbusch but the driver assigned to that load is Muslim and has a religious restriction against transporting beer. She wants me to give him my loaded trailer and take his empty and get loaded for a 2nd time today. Ok, sucks but whatever. So I get to Anheiser-Busch already late for the appointment. Im swaping trailers with this driver. I give him the bol, registration and inspection and ask him to give me the documents for his trailer. But this guy wont give me the docs, he starts inspecting the trailer. And starts talking to me about how the light on the license plate holder is not working. Im like "dude would you just give me the docs so I can go get loaded. if you have a problem with the trailer tell the safety department and theyll tell you where to fix it." He tells me whats my problem and that I have a bad attitude and locks himself in the truck and starts complaining on me to our dispatcher. So i leave the paperwork in his door handle, take his trailer and go get loaded without the paperwork for the trailer.
