My scariest freight story so far, going to work at oh dark thirty with the sun still down with 4 hours of sleep cuz I want to have a "social life at home" (AKA: There's shows on during prime time I like), out of instinct walking straight to the cupboards where they keep the hot chocolate to mix into the way too cheap coffee so it's tolerable enough chug down before time to pre-flight; to find................. No hot chocolate. OMG very scary, I have no idea how I got through that day.

Any good stories hauling freight? Improvised Lav solutions, ripping off an FBO, getting the freight in on time being more important than your first born, and etc.... Lets hear some good ones

Well, got any more brilliant questions? We are here to help, but you haven't bought any beer yet!

After too much coffee to stay awake...deicing ...late deaparture...holding at destination due to storm, my bladder was at max fill. Looked for sick sac for 15 minutes....none to be found. Decided my rubber boot was the best option...felt good until I found the sick sac on the glareshield where I had put it. Lesson of the day grasshopper: Piss your pants...it's alot easier to explain then walking home with your boot in your hand. Good Luck

Deicing??? In a 402!?!?!? Heaven forbid, you've just cost the company its entire profit for the month! Next time get out there with a Glove and smooth that frost (snow, ice, sleet pellets etc.) down per approved procedure in the ops specs!

I can still hear that even now...

...Having the FBO call your CP because you wouldn't follow the ramper's vain attempt at marshalling you to the farthest corner of the ramp at o-dark-stupid in the morning cause "you might block customer access".

If your really quick (in the middle of the night) and tell dispatch not to call ahead, you can zoom into the FBO in MEM and park under the canopy. If your a slow poke your S.O.L.

They were mostly po'd because our pilots looked like freightdogs, chatted with the pretty girls at the counter, drank all their sweet tea, smelled like freightdogs, the planes marked their spot on the ramp with various fluids and we wouldn't buy their overpriced gas...just like freightdogs!
