I see that R&L and Old Dominion and FedX sometimes have electric pallet jacks with them on city P&D do we have any that we can use? Most we have are old and broken.
A buddy of mine got tired of loading and unloading freight, so he went and got a job where the freight loads and unloads itself.He is now a bus driver. See there is something for everybody if you look hard enought.HAHAHAHAHAHAHAI see that R&L and Old Dominion and FedX sometimes have electric pallet jacks with them on city P&D do we have any that we can use?

We used to pick up pallets of raw steel for John Deere at a local vendor. Anywhere from 7-10 pallets totaling around 20k lbs..daily. No dock. The pallets were also wrapped around the top and bottom..so you had to fight to break the shrink wrap with the pallet jack before they’d move. I pleaded with management for an electric jack. I even threw out the safety card..It was an injury just waiting to happen. XPO came back with a hard no..too expensive.I see that R&L and Old Dominion and FedX sometimes have electric pallet jacks with them on city P&D do we have any that we can use?

Only with fellow dsr types…and that can be just as bad as dealing with customers, I think !Or work LH and have a forklift to use. Also no dealing with customers
How about asking your steel supplier to possibly double pallet his shipment. Have him shrink wrap pallets containing the steel. Then have him take the wrapped pallets and put them on good plain pallets. That way you’d have no issues with plastic under the pallet Jack wheels.We used to pick up pallets of raw steel for John Deere at a local vendor.

Then I would have came back with a hard NO when they gave me the pickup. I tell them I did a P.R.A. personal risk assessment and said it was unsafe for me to move this with the equipment I haveWe used to pick up pallets of raw steel for John Deere at a local vendor.

Or if the shipper used steel strapping to properly fasten the steel to the pallets, and not being so cheap using shrink wrap.How about asking your steel supplier to possibly double pallet his shipment.

Problem solved, Right?
Their own tariffs address this. Use their own words against them, drives them nutz.We used to pick up pallets of raw steel for John Deere at a local vendor.

I stand corrected, your tariff doesn't address weight specs.Their own tariffs address this. Use their own words against them, drives them nutz.
Is that one of those mirror tricks?And this is WHY we have to wear them "" useful Safety vests ""during electric pallet jack training !
That picture reminded me of the “Ambiguously Gay Duo” cartoon on Saturday Night Live from several years ago. LOL!!!And this is WHY we have to wear them "" useful Safety vests ""during electric pallet jack training !
