Eh? A pallet puller and 50' of decent rope. Easier to wrangle and its made for it.


Just my opinion

 

I've seen some straps that look they they're for pulling. I could maybe use that with a 'claw' pallet puller maybe

 

Pallet Puller H-127 - Uline

This is what we use

 

9000 lbs. Capacity 3 in. x 30 ft. Heavy Duty Recovery Strap

Not sure where I could get rope

 

That would work, the advantage of the rope and puller is you can quickly and easily shorten the length chains are cumbersome. The strap should work just as well, if you had 2 you could do bout anything you need

 

Packed out today at 924 cases and like 13 stops or so everyone went this week. Thank god the trailer was loaded pretty good, the warehouse has been struggling way hard the past month load quality has just tanked. Our warehouse that loads goes through peaks and valleys during the year there certain times for a couple months will get good loads and then they'll have a down turn who the heck knows why and load quality will just go straight down the tube. Today though for the most part the load wasn't so bad.

I ran the clock down to about 22 minutes today, now granted we run an 11 hour clock because of certain things that have happened in the past particularly a very big crash last summer that was very very bad that forced the company to do things differently, my company in the past has gotten them selves in some big trouble with the DOT for logging violations and the company has been forced to do a better job of following the rules and what it is, is they run this 11 hour clock because there trying to give them selves a time cushion. So me my stops aren't all easy and take time some of them there real time consuming and it doesn't take long to click those hours down.

 

Yeah think I may buy two of those straps and that puller. My job provides one(for the whole terminal), but I kinda want one in my truck at all times.
