How did you move that to the end of the trailer?

 

I cracked my liftgate delivering cabinet pallets like that almost daily when I was at cooper.

it was so bad the liftgate didn’t go up or down straight

 

I know most of yall don’t carry too much xtra equipment….but that’s why my meat hooks…chains&straps never leave my truck
But what im lil confused about is….all the effort&coordination, to get it just right to lower forklift and tailgate….just get it most of way out….brace the end just in front of forklift….then move forklift to the side and turn and drive it out
What am I missing??

 

It was already on the end of my trailer thankfully. If it wasn’t we probably would’ve figured a way to use either a strap and chain or just chains. There wasn’t a real good place to hook onto with a chain.

It most likely would’ve bent the frame if my guys wouldn’t have put it directly on the end for me.

 

The gate was definitely creaking and groaning under the pressure that was on it. I made sure to test it a few times before I left there.

 

I’m averaging 5miles a night walking with this yard hostler position.

wonder if I can eat like I’m 17 again.

Im craving chicken wings, burgers, Mexican food, shiii, I’m craving everythang

 

Im doing 15k-20k steps a night working P&D + Dock

 

Man, these truck drivers…

I had an owner OP come up to me today, and I told him him “hey, management is expect you. Hit door 74 please”.

He goes “this is just a drop”, I’m like yeha drop it in 74. Dude wanting to argue with me on how he doesn’t get paid to dock the trailer.

I was like “ Well, ####. I guess no one’s going to sign that BOL”.

it’s not like it was even a difficult door to hit. I offer to hit the crap doors for people with the hostler.
