You have the pleasure of working at the worst barn in the midwest. I don't know what it's like to run out of XLA, but having to run IN to XLA is a nightmare. Some of the biggest A holes in management work there.
My barn did vias through there all the time when we didn't have enough guys to cover the XLA freight. So we'd be leaving XLA with empties. The bastards seemed to think that meant they could hold us and work us on the dock for half the night before sending us onto the FAC where we were supposed to be going.
Eventually our guys just started hooking empties and dispatching out without checking in. When they finally caught on they sent all kinds of nasty emails to our TM. He basically told them to shove it and quit holding his guys. LOL
