Random LTL Rants (all are welcomed)

Today I had my load shift on me which isn't a big surprise in its self. My last stop was 475 cases to the county jail down town.

Anyhow, I opened my doors and an avalanche of liquid butter came out flying at me, knocked the load bar and everything. So I eventually did get all that straightened out took me a couple of hours to do that stop had to build almost 10 pallets. Only had one case of butter open up and glugg glugg glugg out on to the street I was able to get to it quick enough so it didn't get all over to much.

Then I got lucky and was able to flag down a passing city of Cleveland garbage truck and asked them if I could throw the damaged butter in the back of there truck and they said sure that'd be just fine. Leaking liquid margarine everywhere is the worst, don't get it on your shoes it's a trip and fall hazard.

Other then that, that's about all I know pretty mundane.

 

Maybe is food service guys are just funny about our dollies, but mine is company supplied and it stays locked up with my own personal lock.

 

Oh yes they will... I don't understand why they tolerate it but at the hub I run to, almost all of the pallet jacks are individually chained up.

 

When I was in a package car at UPS in never had room in the truck for one so I stashed like five of em at different customers around the route lol. I was never more than ten minutes away from one.

 

I used to deliver the king of Prussia Mall and we had about a dozen of them there.

 

2 hour delay pay thanks to a nice individual who decided not to do even a basic post trip. Was at a dark terminal so they sent over a shop guy from a hub.
