Oh man, we could sit around the fire and tell stories all night on this topic.
It's even better when your customer is the primary logistics on the other end, especially when they wanted a better price and they forget to bring the container back for a couple days.
That was our rookie mistake, not having logistics across the lake or not doing exworks.

That stopped being athing long before covid, so, when they charged for unloading taking longer then 2 hours. I had a consulting gig where I tried to sell the cliwnt on using a cross dock facility near the port to get stuff out of boxes, on pallets and then on trucks. Failed to to disuade him from using some container railway yard, all of that managed by his tradituonal forwarder without much overaight, before the whole project broke down end of 2020.
