What I do is get to my first stop nice and early and pull the ramp half way then I start to unload each box on the ramp then I start to separate it all on to stacks. Ever seen 1200 cases in a 28' trailer before? I have! If loaded properly it can work if loaded all over the place it becomes a challenge last week I had 915 on Tuesday and it wasn't loaded real well and took me a good well long time to get it unloaded. 6 stops in I was still struggling. I'll say this if loaded properly 1200 cases is a challenge, but do able a good loader and we do have some that are good can make a 1200 case no big deal really. I've had 600 case loads that were more troublesome then some 800 case loads it just all depends on the loader and how the selectors decide to feed him product.![]()

He confirmed what I said: "verrry carefully"! But seriously, ramp pulled halfway out to use as a shelf is genius-level foodservice truckin'.Last edited: Apr 15, 2016

Use the ramp as a plank!! What if it's so packed you can barely close the door. The loaders should follow protocol and be team players. OSHA violation!!!

You boys are working to hard on the problem, just call the lull over and point. Dont matter how much/heavy it is, comes off with one finger.

The reason it doesn't matter is because drivers should never run into that situation. It's a death trap. There are rules companies are suppose to follow by OSHA. I am sure many drivers were hurt because of this nonsense. So who's fault is it when someone gets hurt.

I am a road driver for FXF but I work the dock 95% of the time. I've seen full trailers. But on a dock with lifts totally different.
