Mortar palletized was my bread and butter all last year. 13 pallets. Maybe 15 minutes to throw 9 straps and hit the road... If your good you can strap as the forklift guy is loading and you both finish at the same time.
How long to secure load?

This wasn't aimed at you BTW. It just seemed like a good example to use.MOBee, ProfessionalNoticer, CAXPT and 8 others Thank this. -
If the truck ahead of ya is taking longer than you go help them, you’ll be helping yourself as well.

That’s why I said if safe etc for him to do so
Many times it might be outside and simply moving a few feet might allow the next guy in line to get loaded
I wouldn’t expect a guy to move out of a bay. Especially with tarp loads etc and most shippers wouldn’t want the truck outdoors either until fully strapped and coveredLast edited: Jan 30, 2022

That said I'll help untarp, tarp, roll straps etc but I don't touch anything involving load securement.
Liability is too high. Same reason I don't give hand signals other than "STOP" or "keep coming"Nostalgic, CAXPT, God prefers Diesels and 2 others Thank this. -
