The truck company picked up the container in their eagle rock warehouse for a sched shipping on 5/30/09. They do not know that the closing time is at 4:30pm. They could have stopped the pickup if they know that it will not be able to meet the cutoff time. Since they missed the connection, the truckers should have driven back the container back to their eaglerock warehouse for safekeeping instead of just parking it somewhere in an unknown/unguarded location. Manila Forwarders could have monitored the transit from the origin to the port of origin but instead they only knew the incident when the trucking company called them.
