High volume and professional, im falling in love.

 

It's not a lack of training. It's a lack of motivation to do the job right when guys will take it as is.

 

It is coool seeing stuff u delivered to jobsites and it to be completed perojects. I delivered steel roofing to a jobsite last year for a buddhist temple they was building in williams, az. Just went by a couple months ago and its all completed. Is cool to be apart of the projects instead of just another door slammer where u never see the end result of ur work

 

What was the loader (or driver) tied off to?

There was a time when I thought we held that titled. We had a guy who would just "pig pile" the stuff on the truck. I hauled some pretty ugly loads. Sometimes I would almost feel embarrassed showing up on the jobsite...shrug my shoulders and say, "don't shoot the messenger"

You are so right! I still enjoy seeing the places that we've built, and the memories associated with some of the deliveries...

 

Above every loading dock (inside BTW) was a big yellow steel beam with a slider attached (with curves on each end so they could get to their ladder (like a big elongated banana shape) and they would hook up to that.

so you pull in to the spot (or back in) and the trailer guy pushes up one of those safety ladders to your trailer. climbs up to the trailer and hooks on. he stays on the trailer attached to the harness. The other guy on the ground is hooking steel bundles (and banding them as needed) to the overhead crane and sending them to the trailer guy. Also guy on the ground is handing up dunnage (where they had a great big new bundles of the 8' long ones) and then a couple big crates of the smaller stuff (to fit the gaps).

They actually practiced safety instead of just checkmarking boxes

 

how would they?

they got 30,000lbs of steel plus all the tiedown force on them.

nothing moved in 400 miles of ####ty colorado roads. (well 200 miles of good nebraska roads and 200 miles of crappy colorado roads)

 

Two picks, two drops. One 30k pound chunk of steel and one 500 pound pallet of titanium.

Make that 3 picks and 3 drops. I do my best never pass by one of our yards without picking something up.
