Delivered container of auto parts to Mobis CC in Opelika, AL, then took the empty container to the CSX Rail Terminal in Fairburn, GA. This particular broker is the biggest bunch of micro managers, wanting a phone call the morning of the pickup, even though our appointment wasn't until 1pm, and again when we were loaded, then two calls the next day, and a call when we got to the first delivery site, then again when the container was empty, and another when we got to the rail yard, and another when we got the container off, then we were supposed to IMMEDIATELY fax the POD to them, and Cathy was hounded until I got it sent. Bother.
We damaged the strap rail sometime overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday. We figure the strap holding the rolled tarps came loose and got run over, and pulled the rail away from the trailer. We happened to find a trailer repair shop not 1/4 mile from our delivery site. As we had time before our next pick, we had the rail repaired, and some stress cracks welded. Mark from Trailer Specialists is a good guy. I would reccomend him to anyone in the Atlanta area who needs work done.
