There is a container load somewhere in a Kmart or similar distribution near Philly. The way I was abused by the foreman in charge of that place created a situation that allowed a container to be dumped off my 5th wheel and over the hill embankment. It's probably still there and no one actually gave a ####. It's a 40 foot drop at a 50 degree angle. THUMP!!!![Echoing...]
If I wanted a camera for that one it would have been that day. What a horrible day.345_Magnum Thanks this. -
I smiled, walked out, pulled up 10 feet and started throwing their cases of precious cheese on the ground. Next these clowns in suits ran out of there office screaming, "What in the heck are you doing?" After explaining the situation and pointed out this shipment was "Prepaid" and I was going to get my money regardless, they told me back up and I would be unloaded.
After it was all unloaded, you already know what they told me. "We never want to see you here again!!!!"Woodys, Dave_in_AZ, stwik and 2 others Thank this. -
Got to a really small cold storage.
To over simplify they growled at me. As a cat growls at a coon scratching on our screen door.
Opened one door. Put the manual pallet jack onto the first chep managed to dump the whole thing out onto the hot boiling pavement. (about 90 degrees outside, pavement must have been 140... Trailer was at -20) Jack and all fell onto the pavement with a sound of the Liberty Bell. CLANG!!! Dinner time.
I had 50 people sorting steaks in a few moments.
If you think the growling was bad, the yelling got started.
840 dollars they took out of my pay, plus 200 in fuel to get to a wholesaler in Federal Hill of Baltimore to dump the rest into the salvage market.
The 840 was so worth the sight of pallet number two splintering as it hit the ground splashing steak all over the howling receiver. What I should have done is tossed a few into the side box for later.
He got really angry. His English fell apart into spittle and gobbling gibberish. Homicide was a real possibility.Dave_in_AZ and 345_Magnum Thank this.
