Sweeping the flatbed

Sounds like some lazy people

 

As a former yard guy and current truck driver, your trailer your problem. Do you want them to roll up your straps for you too?

We had a Sweep off area at the back of the yard, we would even let you borrow a broom. All of the company drivers swept their own trailers, why would we treat a common carrier any different?

If you asked me to sweep your trailer off, the only response you would have got was the “whoosh” of my door as it was closing.

 

I carry my own broom and sweep it off in their yard .

 

I like all the LtL’s (ups freight and old d’s to not name names) that drop an empty pup on our dock overnight so we can load it the next morning. Open the rollup and the floor is covered with shredded and ripped up pallets,nails, and shrinkwrap from the Amazon forklift drivers down the road from us. Loading new tires on top of all that crap isn’t very good practice.

 

Seems like a lot of other things to get upset over. I don’t want anyone else on or near my junk other then what they need to be there for. Be glad don’t have to go pay for washouts all the time.

 

If it’s packaging and things of that nature just sweep it off in their yard. Not your problem at that point

 

Come on door slammers, this might be the only exercise you get all week!

 

Picking up a broom is traumatizing to some drivers
