    Yep. Not all the time but even without them the general personality of the food warehouse employee is pretty awful. Either stupid lazy incompetent or angry. That's why they end up working in a place like that for crap wages on horrible schedules.
    Think about it. If you have to unload a flatbed you've probably got a basic handle on how to function as an employee and an operator of a crane or forklift or something. You're not IQ 75 and stoned.
    Luckily this load is 55 gallon drums of spray foam on pallets that I'm getting an extra couple bucks... Well really a lot of extra bucks lol to pull them off the trailer with the pallet jack. That'll be fun.

    Never had a rate con break it all down like this before. Kinda sad to have to incentive-ize being on time and keeping stuff secured LOL. But 500 to me just to get the pallets slid off. ####. Pretty sure lumpers make a bit less...

    Managed to not loose another one on the other 2 loads out of the same farm. Never heard the rock hit it and it stayed put so truck will keep working till the new one comes in.

    Ordering full fenders for it this week. We were planning to but having just bought my truck we decided to wait a week or two. Looks like that was a bad idea.
