    The box truck guys at this store were all crackheads from out of state. They do more deliveries in a day but they have more guys and they have to carry in and hook up appliances.

    I should add that the Lowes here in town was (and probably still is) in close to the same conditions and some of the same issues. They now have subbed out the box trucks and have flatbeds like the one the OP describes. At one point, they wanted me to come there and inspect their trucks and potentially train their drivers to inspect the trucks.. I'm reasonably nice, but I'm not that nice and I don't work there. We ALL know that we ALL had to pass a basic inspection test to acquire the CDL (or back in the day a chauffeurs license. This isn't about lack of knowledge, this is about lack of professionalism and incompetence.

    Well for all of the training lowes wanted me to take that was unrelated to my job (they had me doing credit card sales training, appliance financing training, and a bunch of other ridiculous crap) you'd think they could come up with some training for delivery managers and order pullers so they have some familiarity with load securement and DOT regulations.

    Makes you wonder what came first, the chicken or the egg. The chicken being bad managers with no idea of what they are in charge of or the egg being lazy drivers who didn't do their pretrips and didn't care about load securement. After seeing some of those third party box truck guys, I wouldn't doubt driver incompetence played a role. Those guys made Western Express's worst look like Harvard Law grads.

    But if you go in the store & a lift is running in there, they have all the flashing lights, beeping horns & sirens and a flagman.
    If they need something above head high, they put up gates at both ends of the isle & block off the entire isle. Its like the POTUS is coming through.

    i still shop at the Lowes i worked at. if they have an isle blocked off, and no one is around, hell, i go and get what i went there for.

    should i get hurt, i can still blame the store for not having anyone standing there to prevent me or others from getting what we wanted in that closed isle.
