    Disagree. I see far and away more hoods that are terrible drivers, especially when you factor in the " they should know better factor ", than company drivers.

    Bought back a horrible memory of a 6 wheeler with a lift gate I drove in my twenties delivering pallets of tile . . . Young fellas game.

    I've yet to have a Melton truck park next to me that doesn't rebuild his load for at least 45 minutes.

    I had 2 pallets of pavestone to liftgate off once. These were so heavy just the crown of the street made them nearly impossible to move. I had to unload 1, them turn around and face the wrong way to unload the other.

    That was not fun. :biggrin_2555:
     
    Feedman, BigBob410, Coover and 2 others Thank this.

    There is a product I deliver that you have to be cognizant of that on every load. I'll take the Pepsi challenge of some of the stuff I fingerprint over tossing a couple tarps. We'll see who's ### is dragging.

    Did the truck in your photo, parked as it was interfere with your ability to park?

    We’re pretty sure it’s straight out jealousy.
