Sometimes I wonder if the reason Paytons doesn't do anything to fix the problems with damaged freight is because kroger just buys it all anyways, then orders more when they don't have what they need. I've taken curves really slow ever since a company charged me $900 for damaged freight, and I always made my company aware when I didn't like the way something was loaded since then too, or if I couldn't see How it was loaded (not allowed in dock). I was quite willing to wait at the dock to get reloaded, so that it was their call whether to risk it or not. I never paid for damaged freight since. With Peytons, I'm picking a pallet or two up every other run, or every three at least, and I'm not the only driver. Tho, I've noticed that some stores get loaded much more poorly than others, id love to find out how all of that works, but that's just part of the job now anyways. You can't expect the driver never too give a hard break, or avoid every curve. They don't hold us responsible either. The receiver usually helps reststack a pallet fyi, in case it could scare someone away from the job. It's a mild problem for the driver, but also an irritating one.
