    So far everyone that I've been dealing w/ at Friendly Fridley have been good people. Nobody has been giving me flack for being in their way. How TF some of this freight gets on a truck, off a truck onto the dock, and back onto a truck is something I hope to one day understand. There's no room for any of it.

    We called that the "Con-way Crunch". If it fits, it ships.

    And I could pretty much guarantee that the vast majority of that is due to nothing but laziness.

    Laziness? Not on my dock. We employ the most qualified 19 year old fast food veterans that $14/hour can buy.

    I can hear them before I can see them. 2006 s###-bucket "Carolina Squated" trucks with Trap music blasting so loud that I can hear the rattling of their automobile panels to the beat.

    I call them Poptards. They are in and out so fast it's a waste of time learning their names.

    I saw one dummy yesterday morning pushing a pallet down the dock with one fork in it.

    It was a normal size pallet!!

    Nothing like avoiding that extra 2 1/2 seconds it takes to do something the right way. :rolleyes:
