Ryder OTR straight truck?

Are you responsible for "loading" and "unloading" the tires? I have hauled 53' trailers loaded with tires. It takes those warehouse guys HOURS to load and unload those things. Roll em' in one or two at a time, stack/lace them up. Then, unstack/unlace them on the other end and roll them off one or two at a time. Very labor intensive and DIRTY JOB!

 

I've hauled tires also. Nothing to it. Places where I delivered said, "Roll them out the back of the trailer and let them hit the ground; we have it from there."

 

How long did it take you to roll 600-700 tires out of a 53' trailer. It's not like they are all upright and ready to roll off. The ones I have seen are stacked and laced together. That's lots of pulling and lifting.

 

Didn't take too long. No lifting, just pull it off the stack and let it hit the trailer floor, then roll it off. I looked at it as a good workout to help me stay in good physical condition; used it to my advantage. I had quit smoking 3 packs a day after 21 yrs. and didn't take long to get into top physical condition.

 

Tire loads suck. Take the fueling job.
No it's not fun or easy loading and unloading tires.
Let the other guy kill himself.

Work smart not hard.
You'll make more doing a whole lot less
With fueling job.
You got nothing to prove to anybody by humping
Tires all day.

 

I hear RYDER is very safety conscious. Cameras facing in and out, all kinds of sensors so you don't hit things, one guy got a writeup because a supervisor said he got out of the truck wrong. Too nitpicky for me.
