Showing up on time is a big deal. I do a big ritzy school system on Tuesdays big time buyers and I show up I guess according to them early enough and work hard to get there cases off promptly and without damage.
So far so good because I got a burrito from the middle school and a take a long lunch from the eleminatary school. The same kind of lunch they give the little kids and it's actually not bad. You get grapes some carrot's a Danimals Yougert which little kids love Danimals Strawberry Yougert cups. You also get this dellicious frozen ice fruit cup that's sop tasty and one of the best things ever Smukers Uncrustable Grape Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwhich sooooo good. Plus they give me what ever there main course was for that day like last week it was chicken Sandwhich this week it was hot dogs.
So be prompt do a good job is try to minimize damaging freight or crushing boxes or cases.
One of the worst things is unloading a $900.00 cases of prime rib that looks like it was run over in the truck parking yard at the main warehouse.

Here's some "rookie advice". This is NOT the way to unload freight with a liftgate.
Jay5GS, Gearjammin' Penguin, Sho Nuff and 4 others Thank this. -
What did they damage it looks expensive what ever that was? Could they have taken the load out of the truck and got it in the other truck with the lift gate?
If not they should have been at a dock or something. -
I'm thinking the location didn't have a dock, and that the idea was since it was so big they would use both liftgates of two trucks to get this thing on the ground.
I would've made him call a rollback.Mike2633 Thanks this. -
What's a roll back? Like a flat bed tow truck?
-
So far I've had one residential customer call the local towing company to have them send a rollback to unload his car lift, since I couldn't even move it let alone try and finagle it on onto a liftgate.
It would've been perfect for Heckle and Jeckle up above with the two straight trucks. The rollback backs up to the one with the crate on it, wraps the winch cable around the pallet, pulls the crate off onto his truck, and slides it off onto the ground after the first truck pulls away.bottomdumpin and Mike2633 Thank this. -

IMHO, the carrier shouldn't have even taken that if the BOL said "liftgate delivery".
Gearjammin' Penguin and Mike2633 Thank this. -
Keep track of multiple shipments so you don't cross-pro the freight (mixing up the pro stickers between the paperwork and the freight itself), causing the shipments to go to the wrong customers. I used to pick up at a place where you have to pro the paperwork in the office and then go out to the dock to pro the freight (without the paperwork). In that case, the only way to do it is to write down the destination city and zip on the back of the sheets of pro stickers as you pro the paperwork. That way, a crosstown shipment won't end up 1,000 miles away.
Gearjammin' Penguin, Mike2633, MACK E-6 and 1 other person Thank this.
