[QUOTE="brett636, post: 1434744, member: 249"] The guard cutting the door cables is real indicative of the quality of guards we have at our facilities. lol. While on my current run the guards that were employed at my destination were two of the laziest guards I have ever come across. If you were the only truck at the gate they wouldn't come out to cut your seals until another truck or two pulled up so they could take care of everyone at once. I would pull up to the phones, inbound, and sit there staring at them at the guardshack waiting for them to come out. Eventually one of them would open the door and yell out "You need cut?!?!?" "No, I am just sitting here because I like the view!" was my preferred response, but I was afraid they would take me seriously so I just told them yes I need cut. As I said before they would then proceed to go back into the guard shack and talk amongst themselves until another truck or two pulled up so they didn't find themselves running in and out of the guard shack as much as if that's a lot of work. When they finally came up one guard would take my seals and keys while the other guard went behind me to cut whatever seals I needed cut. While waiting the same guard would complain to me that I need to throw away one of my seal copies because if I turn in both yellow and white copies to him he had to write a report on both copies. I could care less and always handed them whatever copies of my seal controls that came with the trailer. Had a couple instances where a war of words was exchanged when I continued to hand him all copies of the seal control. Someone eventually wised up and changed security companies so these guards no longer work there, but my guess is they were the bottom dollar company willing to do the work and it sure showed!
