Schram auto parts - Mason, MI

Couldn't you just drive real fast and hit the brakes real hard with the door open?

 

Thats what we do with big rolls of carpet

Lots of times carpet stores that I deliver too are old buildings with no loading dock. Boy do they get mad!!!!

For the record I have unloaded using my above mentioned method

 

I suggested using that method once at a WallyWorld DC, when they claimed my Sunday Delivery Appointment, wasn't really an appointment to deliver on Sunday.
They decided to unload it, but the dockworkers didn't have enough fingers and toes to count 1100 boxes in under 6 hours.

 

It's funny, I had a similar experience with a package back in my FedEx days. I had a giant box loaded on my truck, that happened to be dripping oil; on closer inspection I found out it was a transmission! And the jerks who shipped it didn't even bother to drain it, before packaging or shipping!
And, long story short, after delivering it, I had to pick it up the next day, because the customer had called the 800 line to complain that I had delivered a damaged package, throwing it on the porch and running off!
That was the best, seeing as I had stood on the porch, ringing the door bell for about 5 mins!

 

A few weeks ago, one of Mack's compadres in the LTL door to door business called me with a delivery. I was out on the road, near Indy at the time. I gave him directions to the house from where he was, and told him to just back up in the sideyard and kick the load out the back door. It was a pair of rubber tracks to fit my bobcat, and there was no way they were going to be harmed by dropping them off the back of the truck. Problem solved, just leave the receipt in the nearby car.

 

That's pretty much what they did. And we were mostly small packages; however Fedex ground's max package weight is 150 lbs. And every now and then, shippers would push much heavier packages on us; if we got lucky, and there was a scale, I would always ask the customer to weigh the package.
