On September 28,2017, I arrive at your location here in Madison, Tennessee. I didn’t have any clue that is location stop accepting deliveries at 1:00 pm. I go in to check in and the older lady tells me they might unloaded u or they may not unloaded u. She call over the walkie-talkie for some guy named Jeffrey the warehouse manager. He said that I could wait to see if they was going to unload me. As I sat in my truck waiting, about 15 min, this guy approach me saying they will be able to unload me. I had to sit in my truck 17 hours until the open up on today. I had only 8 skids of metal lath. There was only one truck in front of me (McElroy) delivering and truck load of lumber. It’s very upsetting that he wouldn’t allow me to get unloaded bec he was starting vacation and his daughter is getting married this weekend. All I can say is wow right now. There is no sign informing drivers the hours of service. I have to leave my family on Sunday and return home until late Friday evening. It would have been great to get home early to spend time with my family. I would like to say thank u for having an ear. Be bless.
