A. We had a customer whose account was closed for several months, asking us to dump and remove their 40-yard container ASAP. We sent a driver only to find out the load was too heavy. I called the customer and explained the issue and came up with a solution to bring a second container to offload some of the product. It all worked out and the customer was happy.
