    dont you just love it when you open up the trailer, with a frozen food load, your feet are wet and when you jump into the back to remove your loadlocks you instantly get stuck to the floor ^.^

    Only time Inever take the load locks out myself is if they specifically ask me to. Otherwise, let them do it and make sure they are in the trailer when you pull away.

    I take my load locks out before I back up to the dock each time. I don't want to have to deal with going back into the shipping/receiving office to ask them to bring them out to me when they forget to put them back in the trailer.

    When you close your doors after moving from dock check then, 9 times out of 10 they are in there. I always check.

    yeah its a habit... I put them in, I take them out. one time they put some weird ### 'temporary' lock thing, it had these strong ### temporary plastic holders that were like glued to the walls of the trailer and a big ### 2x4 across between them, FOR PAPER TOWELS!!!! they didnt get one of them fully off so it still had the plastic base stuck on the inside of the trailer...

    That's good you're learning paper logs right off the bat.I think long before training is over you'll need to know how to do paper and elogs.
