A while back I had to make two back to back delivers to Port Columbus Airport, to the tarmac to meet a charter aircraft .... backed right up to the plane and transfered the freight. At the security gate I presented my TWIC card for identification, the TSA assigned security guard had no clue...

I ALWAYS call my receiver when I load ..... confirm the dispatched delivery time against the information on the QC, if it differs, I call the agent back and let them know the change. Perfect example is today's delivery at Shaw Air Force Base ..... delivery instructions said to deliver at 9am to...
