If it's pallet loaded break down the pallet and separate all the cases out by stop.
Only do what you feel comfortable doing ex if you can do 10 bags of rice but it's tough and hurts do two stacks of 5 instead.
Stretch before unloading.
Keep in mind no matter what its gonna get done. I think this is the most important aspect I have seen many guys quit because they get frustrated. Your paid to get the grocerys off the trailer. Not get them off in record time.Gearjammin' Penguin, DC818, VantaiTatted and 5 others Thank this. -
thanks for your reply. Sounds as though companies have reasonable offloading timelines from what you have stated. No sense in hurting yourself in a rush

What was your system?
-
Start with heavy on the bottom and light on top
Look at your delivery area. Is it flat? Uphill? Downhill? Steps? Load accordingly, don't be a hero.
Get the truck as close to the delivery area that you SAFELY can
During training LISTEN to what the other drivers tell you and see what they do BUT once you get out on your own you will find a system that works best for YOUGearjammin' Penguin, Jordysmash and Cardfan89 Thank this. -
Cardfan89 and Jordysmash Thank this.
