My freakin' truck still hasn't shipped...

[OrangeCrush]

This shipping business is bullshiet. I've been waiting for almost 2 weeks to get my truck shipped to CA.

It's one thing that they put it on a "dispatch" board but don't freakin' tell me it's leaving on a certain date. Have enough balls to tell me that it's on the dispatch board and when it gets picked up, it gets picked up.

I was told it was suppose to go Wed, then Thursday and then Friday.

It's Saturday night and the damn truck is still here.

It wouldn't be so bad but the stupid company sent me a text saying they had room for 2 more vehicles if I was interested.

Obvious bullshiet... guess I'll just have to wait until something comes up.

Damn Mark! that blows. If they flake on you, there has to be someone else to take your business.

Sad part this is the second company.... first company did the same thing.

Pisses me off. If it wouldn't cost so much, I'd drive the damn thing out there and fly back...

I'm with you, I think I would just drive the damn thing and fly back at this point. What a bunch of pricks!!! I wish I had a Gooseneck flatbed to help you out in your situation!!!

Hi Mark, they are both aholes, i would think the way things are today they would be there a day before they said. If you can take the time drive it out there.

Mark, if you want me to I can put in the bid out there for the amount I gave you and see if one of mine get to it before yours do... you wont loose your request with your company but you'll have like 20 more chances of getting it shipped quicker.

Just let me know bro.

Good luck.

It's not really a money issue driving the truck out there and then flying back.... I figure 1K in gas plus a flight back... (should be cheap enough)

The problem is the time involved.

I agree, just letting you know you still have that option.

I have the contact info for the company that shipped my truck to me for a total of 1150, from coast to coast.

If you're interested PM me and I'll shoot you the info!

That's normal in vehicle transport, no one is going to ship a bunch of cars until the truck is fully loaded. Unless you reserve the load and pay for an empty trailer to go out there, you'll have to wait.

If the company doesn't have it's own drivers, and uses contractors and owner operators to ship your vehicle, then they may balk and refuse to pick up your H2 and would rather pick up a lighter vehicle especially if the cost is low.

Best bet is to call around and ask when they have a truck heading to your destination. If it's a big city to big city shipment, that's dock to dock, it should be picked up quickly. If it's being delivered in the middle of nowhere then you'll have to wait, the company should tell you that up front.

I understand and completely agree.

However, stupid me fell for the text message I got from this company. It said " Are you still looking to get your H2 to CA? We've got two spots left on our trailer, if you still need it, let us know, it's getting ready to leave"

I called the company and was assured they were almost full and getting ready to leave... so I signed up.

That night, I got yet another exact message from the same company but different number. That's when I realized it was just a scam to get you to sign up with their company.

Anyway, after I signed up with them, I was given a 2 day window when my truck WILL be picked up.

That was over a week ago when the truck was suppose to be picked up.

That's what pizzed me off, I don't care that I'm on a waiting list but don't tell me a date and then not come through....

Bottom line, I received a phone call with a driver's name and number that is suppose to be picking up the truck tomorrow.

We'll see....

Hi Mark, I hope so, all you have been getting so far is tucked around

I'll say... I've spent more time waiting for it to be shipped than what the job will actually take....lol.
