Beware of Mid South Milling

Our plant does not open until 6am Monday. How is it that you posted this at 9:17am on Monday and the truck had already waited 14 hours? Did your truck arrive at 6pm on Sunday? We were closed.

If I had to guess, I would think he is not posting about a load that is from today, rather a past load. Normally you don't find out how bad things are until you have done a load. What are your detention policies? Just asking for a friend.

My policy is to not do business where a detention policy is needed.

That's a good policy.😉

In this case " silence is not golden " , in fact the silence from this Brian guy speaks volumes about his so called detention policy.

I've noticed that Mr. Brian Smith didn't have any other comments to make about his companies detention policies. Just the one smartass reply made on October 5

To my knowledge this is the only load Team SR has hauled directly for MSM.

It was not a professional question, "what a f....ing joke." And their detention request policy is not in line with the industry "TEAM SR is $100 hr after 1 hour on detention no cap." MSM would not have contracted Team SR to haul the load knowing thier detention request policy.

Sorry for the late response. I was out of the office last week.

Please see previous replys for detention policy. I was out of the office last week taking a much needed vacation.

I hauled for a broker I use most of the time, I was in communication with him and he said MSM won't pay detention? I've hauled both in and out of the places in Memphis TN and FT Smith AR, no detention, and I now know not to be delivering on Monday at Memphis location, brought a load from Arkansas City Ks there, nasty stuff.
Was even asked about loading and going to MS could run back and forth all week and "supposedly be loaded like a company truck and load ahead"but I dont believe that either.

Ive tried hauling several times, I'd say it's not worth it, that junk I brought out of Arkansas City, Angus meat and bone, was 4.5 hours to dig out after being there for 8 for my turn, vibrators on and 4 dudes up top digging with rebar.

The wait time and the dents are a good reminder.

That is only valid for union members! Non union do not count!!!

If your policy is what it is supposed to be, then I would suggest getting in touch with team SRS, as they, nor anyone else, hired to be your personal storage unit! If someone sits waiting to LOAD or UNLOAD an MSM dispatched load, directly or through a broker, be a man and make it right! You are takiking money out of the driver's pocket for problems that are not their fault!

$50 an hour after 2 is $16.66 an hour for the first three. I'd say that's pretty sad. If a truck runs for $2.25 a mile (for conversation sake) at, let's say, 60 mph, my math says the truck loses $135.00 and hour. I think $135.00 is very reasonable. What I think is unreasonable is someone who doesn't run my business tell me what reasonable is...It is extremely unreasonable to order trucks into any location and expect them to sit and wait. If you can't get em loaded or unloaded, don't order more than you can handle. You don't get to tell Walmart what you think reasonable is when you go purchase toilet paper.

And that my friends, are Barry's words of wisdom for the day.. Amen 🤓

Wow 100$ an hr no cap let me know how that works out lmao 🤣 😂 😆 🤪 🙃 😅 🤣 😂 😆 🤪 🙃 😅

I dodge a bullet on that talked to them about 3 weeks go smelt Bulls*** declined load filed their info. In file 13 had my sectary file them in our system under don't deal with

digusting

Huh, I've been wondering who was hauling all those loads most of us turn down. 😳

Do any of you have a Rules Tariff? A tariff will help you all with detention. If you don't have one, you can get one. We supply all of our clients with a free rules tariff when they place their first invoice with us to collect on. We provide the tariff not only to help you, but it also helps a company like ours to stand up better in court. You all should look into them. Let's just say the industry standard is $75/hr after 2 free hours, but you actually charge $100/hr. You can have your tariff say this. Keep a copy of the tariff in your truck so that you can supply it if a shipper or consignee ever asks if you have one. If they don't ask, you don't have to show it. As soon as they load that trailer and shut those doors, they have unknowingly agreed to that rules tariff. Just a thought for all of you. We do get a lot of placements in our office for detention time. If I can help any of you, please call me at 662-932-3978.
