Incident Note: Columbus Warehouse Delay

Carrier: Buckeye Logistics LLC
MC Number: MC-884920
Driver: Samantha
Location: Columbus, Ohio

Incident Details:
Samantha arrived at the facility at 07:00 and backed up to the dock. She was waiting for hours because the receiver didn't have any available warehouse workers to unload the freight. Samantha was sitting in the truck and drinking coffee while she was waiting.

At 11:30, Samantha went inside the office to ask about the lumper fee and her receipt. While she was standing at the desk, she noticed two workers playing chess on a small phone app. Samantha used the waiting time to teach them a better opening strategy and some advanced moves.

The unloading started at 13:15 and finished at 14:00. Samantha got her signed paperwork, paid the lumper fee, and left the yard without any more issues.
