Looks like you missed a golden opportunity.. There was gold mines worth of wood there..I lucked out, his cousin owned a business with a dock & forklift…. But your right it’s next to impossible to get it off without breaking the whole thing down….

Hey...where did you get that picture of my trailer of every single day of my time at ABF??? Bahahaha!!! Seriously though, this picture epitomizes how out of touch the ‘uppers’ were/still are on how to make a proper residential delivery. Let’s start with the proper equipment needed to complete the delivery. A 1200-pound crate...over-sized...from a liftgate. Nice. You mentioned you had several guys out on WC? I can see why. Send this picture to your Shop Steward, hopefully he can help prevent this kind of stuff (although, mine didn’t). Next, follow up with your BA. This delivery has flatbed written all over it.
Oh yes...safes. Those top-heavy monsters that only people who live on hills with gravel driveways order? We used to CRINGE when the Costco coupon book came out with those on sale.I delivered a safe one time and the terminal manager showed up to help. Long story short all the guys filed. The manager isn’t there anymore. Kind of sad though. Was a great guy.
In 15 minutes or less..I lucked out, his cousin owned a business with a dock & forklift…. But your right it’s next to impossible to get it off without breaking the whole thing down….
I thought the same thing, if I had to fingerprint it the wood was coming with me….Looks like you missed a golden opportunity.. There was gold mines worth of wood there..
I get one of these at least once a week, And more times than not its a Handicapped Guy or a 80 year old women, Who are the only help at the delivery
Ain’t that the truth!!I get one of these at least once a week, And more times than not its a Handicapped Guy or a 80 year old women, Who are the only help at the delivery
Don’t forget the pregnant woman holding a baby that’s telling me her husband wants it around back….I get one of these at least once a week, And more times than not its a Handicapped Guy or a 80 year old women, Who are the only help at the delivery
I know what you mean ......damn man how did you handle that? A bag of Fritos weighs like what, 10 oz????? LMAOMan am I glad that I am a bid hostler and not a bid city driver. I had my share of difficult customers at my previous gig with Frito Lay back in the day.
Yeah, but twelve of those bad boys in one box would be 120 ounces. That's like 7.5 pounds per box.I know what you mean ......damn man how did you handle that? What a bag of Fritos weighs like what 10 oz????? LMAO
Got me sweating just thinking about it. Good thing I was young back then to handle all that heavy lifting. LOL!!!
Did you use that 10 foot tall handtruck??Got me sweating just thinking about it. Good thing I was young back then to handle all that heavy lifting. LOL!!!
Yes I did. And that thing was a "BASTARD" to maneuver in the stores.Did you use that 10 foot tall handtruck??
I think TB has a lot of double dippers.
Yup thats why I stay with the flatbed relocube work. I tell them unless this forklift fits threw your door or fence its not going in.Don’t forget the pregnant woman holding a baby that’s telling me her husband wants it around back….
I kept a very dirty pair of gloves in the truck. When I had an exercise machine and the wife comes to the door and said it goes down/upstairs, I'd run them dirty gloves across the box leaving streaks. Then explain how we use propane forklift and how dirty and sooty the box gets, and asks does she really want that in her house. Then suggest we put it in the garage and let her husband unbox it there. If the husband answers the door same spiel, only add I know what my wife would do if I brought it in her clean house. Can't tell how fast they trip over themselves opening the garage door. Daddy always said, I will work for what I got, so work smarter not harder.Ain’t that the truth!!
Pretty clever! I wish I’d thought of that...two bad knees/hips earlier.I kept a very dirty pair of gloves in the truck.
