I'll bet you check your truck a bit closer now, before leaving the dock! (Sometimes hard lessons actually turn out to be good lessons. Just not having your tools is a heck of a lot better than having something else wrong that causes a death!)

Big Don Thanks this.

I'm still curious about that "condom". Is that the pallet jack chock doodad you speak of? We call ours donuts. Now suddenly donuts seem much less appetizing.

Say, it looks like rain. Don't forget your rubbers. . .

Terminology prolly varies from barn to barn. But we call ours condoms or rubbers. Inbound line trailers with more than one bill are called "strippers".

We didn't have them at all. Who needs to "secure" anything in a box, anyway?
We'd just tip 'em over. Not very good on the hydraulics I suppose, but the powers that were didn't feel it was a problem. . .
Actually, the more I think about it, the happier I am in retirement!road_runner Thanks this. -
I was delivering two skids of bathroom fixtures. The consignee watched me unload the first pallet, then asked if I roll it in the garage after he backs his wife's car out. I said "no problem, I'll go get your other pallet."
I left the skid next to the garage so I can unload the second pallet while he's doing that, and that apparently got him all upset for whatever reason.
I got to listen to a rant about "not listening" while I unloaded the second skid, rolled that into the garage, and then the first one. I asked if he wanted them side by side. He said "whatever".
Then, while I was filling out the delivery receipts I got to listen how I was being an #######, he's going to "file a complaint", and I must have been "on drugs." Apparently working efficiently means "hyper". And he didn't like the sunglasses I had on, never mind the fact that he was wearing them too, and it was a sunny day. I was only wearing so he couldn't tell whether or not not I was "on drugs".
Ignoring all of this I tore off his copies of the paperwork, said "have a nice day", which really made him mad, because that was met with snatching it out of my hand and saying "#### you".Rocks and Pintlehook Thank this. -
Our foreman would have said, they want to be like that? Reload the pallets and leave.
yes it has happened, but then we only run our own freight to....

I've thought of that. Nothing like showing high strung people what a ##### karma can be.
