Boycott the blue beacon

So my driver and myself sat in line at the blue beacon in new Paris ,oh for two hrs this week just to be told they refused to do a trailer wash out on our end dump trailers because we didn’t have a barn door to open but we do have a man door with steps and grab handles on the front of the trailer that they said they weren’t allowed to use we were turned away.at 2pm I then had to call the broker and tell them we couldn’t haul the load which was feed grade because it required a wash out I lost a $2500 load and now have a block mark with them . I know go to another truck wash. But it was 80 mi away an till we go there and get back the shipper would be closed plus all the extra miles I would have been hauling for $1 a mile we ended up going home empty! Never in my 30years of driving has this happened before at a truck wash. New generation is lazy and don’t want to work.not to mention that the blue beacon should be sued for safety reasons once in there drive way you can’t even leave for medical reasons or even a fire everyone in line is doomed.
