Don't blame the other crew, it's the transportation providers who don't provide adequate vehicles and then are unable to give a proper estimate that are the problem.

Given the above level of smart, common curtesy would dictate that you would let them check in first (not self centered).
Most guys get this....

They not only got off quickly but then took the van leaving BOTH crews behind (mine and theirs)!
Talk about dbaggery.

I'm glad to say, however, most of the interactions I've had with my own company's crews and other crews have been respectful and pleasant.
But there are always a few...
