What if receiver left empty pallets or trash in your trailer

The images wouldn't appear for me earlier. After seeing them...

If I had done that when I unloaded trucks I would've had my ### kicked by the driver, an my boss, and his bosses. We removed any trash we made(Shrink wrap, etc etc), and then did a quick sweep. Only reason we ever swept though was so we could be sure to get all the little wood pieces from whatever pallet broke. Screwed with the pallet jack whells. lol. Plus I always took pride in a job well done, can't do that if you leave the trailer looking like a pig sty.

You should ball up that shrink wrap and throw it at the idiot who let them leave your trailer looking ####ty. Put a bowling ball in it for extra hilarity. (Or a shot put)

Just kidding....or am I...

I probably wouldn’t have pulled out of the dock until I went in and said that I needed to clean up the trailer if they didn’t want to do it.. and try to nice my way into being able to clean it up at the dock....

 

You must be talking about good old maxton North Carolina

 

i actually HAD that situation at the Chelsea MA, UPS center.

i went to pick up our trailer (this was with another employer) and low and behold, pallets and trash.

since the trailer was already dropped at the rear of the building in the lot along a fence, i simply dumped it all right there on thier property. i never told my boss, and UPS never knew who did it.

but I AM if the UNDERSTANDING, that it IS THE CUSTOMERS LOAD, PALLETS, AND TRASH.....

 

That is a bit excessive in my opinion. I don't know where you work but at my company if I had to do that I would let them know and get paid $20 per hour for that 2.5 hours.

 

Pallets I will sell if there is a place close by that buys them.
Trash, well that depends on my mood. One of the Home Depots in Vegas many moons ago wanted to play that game and turn my trailer into a dumpster. We had a bit of a heated exchange over the matter. I turned the area a few feet in front of their dock into a dumpster instead.

 

Lol. Just thinking same thing. Sometimes pull foward and look in trailer. Bunch of dunnage in there. Grab broom ease back truck a bit and sweep sweep, leave it right there on their dock. When they open their dock door, there is a suprise for them. Depends how their attitude was towards me also. If nice i will sweep out while at the dock, and put it in their cans. If they allow. If not they get 1st method mentioned. Oh and look around, may be a dumpster you can back up to.

 

My response to that is, if they're going to treat you like crap why would you WANT to go back? Sounds like a blessing. This crap is unacceptable.
