Drove over 100 miles to get the shipment. Wasted two hours as the member’s ex wife pulls out the “Shit” as she puts it that is his. She also informs me he had been there the weekend before and taken most of the stuff. What did he leave? Two black plastic trucks with army clothing, a small box of books and two medium size boxes of junk. It goes to Ft Riley KS. Loaded then drove the 100 miles back to the warehouse.
Now- lets do the math.
US Government paid-
Packing cost- $93.00
Transportation with fuel charge- $1,207.00
Total of- $1,300.00
My cut?
Packing profit - $59.00
Pickup and Hold for bringing it into the warehouse for hauler to pickup- $ 37.00
Total of- $96.00
What it cost me?
Labor- $135.00
Fuel- $65.00
Carton/packing supplies- $ 32.00
Total of- $232.00
Lost a total of $136.00

But you know what pisses me off more? That for $ 300.00 he could of ship it UPS. I had to pack it this morning into a wooden crate (more labor and supplies) as Stevens Van Lines is going to ship it by Roadway to the mover in KS. The $1,200.00 transportation cost is going to make someone a nice profit. Huh.
That ladies and gents is a total waste of taxpayers money.
