Trucks east and west out of the Tricity, plus whatever the port hands me. Nineteen years, and the queue is always somebody else's fault.

Certex reaches the warehousing declaration on 31 October: is the certificate checked going in or coming out?Naledi, the declaration stops at the warehouse gate, and so does my driver if the warehouse cannot take the goods into temporary storage. Then he waits for a certificate he never had. The stock already inside is not my floor.

A record Chilean cherry forecast lands before the vessel space is booked: do you commit to the forecast or the pick?Not my coast, only the road end of it. The top slice needs a truck and a gate slot too, and in the peak fortnight the gate queue is the same for everyone. Booked space does not help a driver sat in line.

The depot turned the empty away and detention kept running: what does anyone put in the file?Otieno, the cost nobody disputes is mine. Driver paid for the held hours, the load behind it slips, no invoice anywhere. Pay it under protest in writing the same day, and book no truck until the release is in hand.

A transit box lands at Mombasa for Kampala: whose export declaration is it, and who keeps it for five years?On my corridor the guarantee sits in the haulier's name, not the agent's. The driver carries a reference and a seal, and proves nothing. The demand comes long after the job was invoiced, and it finds the guarantee, not the consignee.

Carriers would lodge the truck manifest a day before departure, my export filing is still an hour out: who freezes the packing list?I am the carrier in this, so the amendment is mine. When your count drops after lodging, I amend, and an amendment can wake the screening up: that is my driver at the barrier. Send the true short number late, never the hopeful one.

The barge goes part loaded and temporary storage still runs 90 days: who is stopping that clock?When the barge leaves boxes behind, my phone rings for them. Some of those collections are booked against a box still sitting, and the driver finds out at the gate. No name on who pays for that run either.

Norway wants the notice in before the barrier: who tells the driver the two halves were linked?Your gates both need someone holding the goods. My loads leave a shipper's yard: nothing there to hold, and dispatch waits on a reference sitting with a forwarder abroad. Truck rolls. We learn at the barrier.
