‘This was just one guy's way of feeling powerful’: Semi truck driver gets denied by building supply store clerk for being 6 minutes late after driving a Drywall delivery from New Hampshire to New Jersey

A long‑haul driver reached a building supply yard at 2:06 for a drywall drop, the posted delivery window ended at 2, and a clerk refused to unload even though the crew stayed until 4 and the bay was open.

This is small power dressed up as policy. Six minutes becomes a morality play where a laminated sign outranks common sense and still time sits in the sun pretending to be scarce. Forklifts are parked, nothing else is on the lot, and the whole job could be done in half an hour, but the number on the sheet wins because it is easy to defend and easier to weaponize.
