I'm baaaaaack!!!!!!!!

Lol , I know, but they do come in handy dry camping.

 

LOAD CHECK!

Oh, wait....beer loads are sealed so you can't DO a load check....ao when the straps loosen (as they will, no matter what) there is absolutely NOTHING the driver can do about it.

Sucks to be you, hoss.

 

I've never picked up a beer load that was pre sealed except when picking up a relay.

 

It's not the pick up check, it's the enroute load checks. As rough as today's roads are, securement loosens up heading down the highway. Then stuff gets shook all about, which loosens securement up even more. Then the load shifts and the driver gets blamed for lousy highway infrastructure and idiotic load security requirements. Seriously, why not just padlock the trailer with the driver having the key? If the load disappears, you know who was driving the bloody thing!

 

I've been extremely lucky then on the 2-3 beer loads a week I deliver.

 

Yep. I've had them shift pulling out of the shipper's gate onto lovely New Jersey potholes.

Some days, and some loads, you just can't win.

 

Meanwhile, our beloved superhero of the road is getting drunk on the broken beer cases.... (Probably not, but funny nonetheless)

 

I bet the dock worker says that to all drivers , with loose cargo. I wonder what his payoff amounts too?
