    one o the worst I can remember was when a box van I picked(swapped with other driver) up had 2 sheets of flat plate steel (53ft van) just lying no securement.,,qualcom tells me to load a dozen skids of plastic forms used for basement walls on top o the plate .twas winter time and slippery as kf went down everytime I pushed the skids to the back,,and the same when unloading at small building sites. believe me it never happened to me again ,the office was told I walk if I had that sht again

    Here is one. A 600 lbs pannel of glass. Liftgate delivery. Put it right next to my pallet jack so you have an idea of the dimensions.

    It's up next. No idea how I am going to do it

    Too long to rotate 90 degrees to perpendicular to the walls?

    Call OS&D when you get to the customer and tell them you’re about to have a claim. Then Geronimo!!

    If it were me that mess would stay right where it is until somebody came up with about 5 or 6 strong backs and weak minds.

    Just saw the alerts on the thanks and quoted text. I never delivered it cause the guy wasn't there. Big wide and awkward, but only 6 inches thick. So easy to work around it.

    Thanks guys for reminding me that i forgot to fill out an undelivered freight report. I'll hear about that tomorrow.
     
    motocross25 Thanks this.

    Four pallets of nail gun staples. Total weight 12,500 lbs. This is how they came in. Not strapped from loading terminal. Each box, weighed 50 lbs or so. Fortunately I did not have to deal with this. But large portions of this had to be repalletized. Took close to two hours of backbreaking work from my coworkers.

    Dang, and I thought the exploded skid of newspaper inserts sucked. Hope the loading terminal manager sees this pic...
