    Theres no asking about throwing away at reciever, theres telling.

    If they arent equipped to dispose of what should be considered the crating of their machine/recieved, then thats THEIR problem, not yours. And it sure as hell desnt belong swept into the back grass of the next truckstop you go to.

    Yes, especially in shipping containers.

    However, some nail gun fasteners are very hard to

    I agree with you. Seems like the question asked in the OP is pretty low IQ. In fact, it should have taken the person who posted it less time to actually think about the question and formulate the correct answer than the amount of time taken to type the question.

    Agreed. If I were the driver I certainly would do it so I could get down the road quicker. We treat the drivers like royalty though. They show up any time without appointments, we start on then right away and it's four of us doing the work.

    No way a single driver would knock it out as quickly as we do as a team. Unless they show up at lunch they're in/out in less than an hour. We'll even push our breaks back if they show up right before them.

    yeah, i fixed that BS in a snap..my first (and last time) was to Chelmsford, MA.

    full trailer load..

    i went to get an empty, opened the doors and found crap all over the place..!

    "ok you SOB's" i said to myself...

    i hooked up, went around to the back fence, looked for cameras, i saw none, opened the doors and proceeded to give them back thier trash all over that back fence.

    closed the doors, drove out, and i never returned..if anyone else in my company did, after picking up the trailer i dropped, and of course, i am sure there was, but i cannot say what he did...but i wasn't about to put up with that horse crap, i had to make a pick up, and needed a clean trailer.

    If a trailer is clean when it is loaded and has all sorts of trash in it after unloading, well, that is all part of the shipment and belongs on the receivers property.

    If it has a bent rim and the tandems won't slide just drop it and leave it for the next guy so you can expedite it out of there. debris also.
