    I can move it to the back of the trailer if they're wrapped up on a pallet. :D

    WM doesnt want the driver doing anything in the store. Because if the driver gets hurt no one else is certified to move their truck.

    If they seem capable of unloading me in a timely manner, I stand and watch. If I see them trying and struggling with it, I will provide minimal help. Yes, I know I'm not supposed to, but I'm not going to stand and watch someone trying to unload a pallet of bottled water with a manual pallet jack without at least giving them a push.

    95% of the stores I deliver groceries too the people in the back. Have an attitude not all but most of them. If I say how's it doing and you don't say anything. I take my lock off the trailer and open the door and it's all yours. We have been told by our safety manager not to even enter the trailer.

    Our safety man who's been with the company many years doesn't want us to help but says we can if we want and will not get fired.

    A driver over at a.v. was keeping track of his daily totals, & he showed me
    One of the days he made 80 bucks & he worked 13 hours, most of the other days were about 150
    Short loads & mega traffic
