You better be ready to roll. I catch some idiot putting his garbage on my flatbed, I'll grab my bolt cutters and cut the valve stems off his friggin steers!
don't let receivers leave anything on the trailer. no pallets, dunnage,blocking,shrink wrap,(Sam's), ect. it's all part of the load and yes, I've had some heated talks with customers. but, I have a full load to pick up and am short on time, can't mess with their garbage. "walk the trailer" before pulling out of dock. if they won't let you on dock, pull up 5-6 feet and walk back. any garbage or holes can be dealt with before leaving.
Multitudes of abuses and sinful exploitation aboundeth on us Poor driver. But woe be onto me that picks up a sweep and start walking customer trash out of the trailer and off the dock plate. (What do you think that 100 gallon wheeled lid equipped trash bin next to the dock is actually for?) Ive had more than one get incandescent with rage when I gather up a bit of wrap, a stick of busted wood and maybe a few smoke wrappers. You would think I stuck a frog down the back of the Queen or something.
