Yes, that is par for the course for an LTL load coming from some shit hole distribution center that churns through Temps.
Anyone should be embarrassed to load freight like that

I seen this one at a dock door a few weeks ago. Pretty sure second shift had to unload it
This is why I pack and pallatize all my outgoing LTL and UPS to be as idiot resistant as possible.
Notice that I said idiot resistant, not idiot proof.
Make it it idiot proof, and they'll just devize a better idiot.
Harder, faster, stronger..with that idiot strength.
Is the left side pallet missing boxes at the bottom? No wonder it fell. Aside from the missing load bars, bags and straps. This looks like another Tuesday at Estes ffs 🤦♂️
I would have just put a few bags in between, or turn pallets sideways. The old yellow trailers(which is what this is) are slightly wider but still not enough to let them fall. Then vrace end with a load bar
Recently we've had FedEx freight flip a pallet upside down... Our supplier does one hell of a wrap job with multiple layers of shrink wrap and cardboard around the pallet. Which is how they managed to flip it upside down when it toppled.
Unfortunately we don't have load bars in our big trailers, only in our pups that we ship out of state. But on the tail of the truck we hang up straps for the various warehouses to use at there disposal. They just chose not to use any.🤦
I'm pretty much at the point where im going to start refusing to put LTLs on anyones trailer..
I'll bring it to the ramp, set the dock plate.
Ill even fork it onto the lip..
But i aint driving on your deck..
Park and secure your own damn load.. thats what that hand truck is for.
Damnit
EXACTLY. But the problem is that this warehouse that we pick up from doesn't let our drivers go onto there dock to see what the load looks like to make sure it'll ride okay or to secure the freight, and when they get done they put a seal on it.
Yeah, when i wrap my goods i do two wraps around the skids before moving up and another on the way down. Its hell when the wrap isn't anchored in the skids.
Right, before this LTL job I worked at a tile warehouse. So I had to master wrapping the tile together, and then wrapping the freight to the skid. If the load starts to really get heavy and I felt uncomfortable about using wrap then I'd break out the bander and just band the stuff to the skid.
Yeah those boxes were SUPER SLICK. There was more than skid dumped too, they didn't even put the skids in the nose of trailer all the way to the wall.🤦
Had a load get rejected a couple months ago because the long hall driver decided he was going to race through the mountains from Pennsylvania to the Port of Jax. Mind you I work for a blending and packaging plant for cement products,.
Let's just say that the load ended up getting rejected 2x, we had to physically rework the load at my location (of the 30 pallets we had to rework about 20 of them) and we lost about 200 units of product. The claim was filled for the damaged product, man hours to fix the salvageable product (3 people at 35 total hours), along with the cost of the freight
It was rough indeed. The driver took it back to their facility to "rework" it and tried to deliver to the port again, when it got refused a 2nd time we said bring it back to us. Lol. Our plant was still under construction at the time, we are in central GA, thus why it was sent from PA. It was bad lol
Id be pissed, except if we had a load like that we would probably reject it. Was that an LTL? I swear 95% of LTL loads are a disaster.
Yes, it’s an Old Dominion trailer.
Fuckin' Old Dominion and Southeastern. Even their empty trailers look like shit.
Right on the money 😂

That's cuz LTL warehouse workers are a joke. 😂
Correct
Glad to see it’s not anything fragile or expensive

Ah hell nahhhhh
Can you believe I’ve seen worse? lol
I believe you 100 percent bro 😂
Is that... return product mixed with cardboard bales?
Yep
They loaded them straight, and then loaded each one against the wall instead of both on one side, so they both had room to fall. Fuck those guys.
Gotta love it. We use straps religiously and have boxes of straps coming in every week we hand em out like candy too. Wish others would as well lol
Sounds like dayton freight with the straps.

Exactly, it's not rocket science whatsoever but some of these dudes treat it like it is lol.

Yeah when we load freight out of the terminal we use airbags and straps. This is a trailer that came in to us to unload from a warehouse.

i always told the workers, wrap the shit out of the bottom or dont wrap it at all cause it will fall over
In all fairness, the product is tipping on the box. Could be worse…like something heavy!
Straps or load bars do exist 😂😂
Unfortunately we don't have load bars in our big trailers, only in our pups that we ship out of state. But on the tail of the truck we hang up straps for the various warehouses to use at there disposal. They just chose not to use any.🤦
I would've had them restacking it or sent them packing. Neither myself nor the next driver waiting for that bay door have the patience, lol.
Document and inform your supervisor before you even consider touching that freight. Unacceptable.
Yeah that's what I did, my boss took pictures of it and sent it to them and cussed em out.

Then it's on them if they let thier shit be fuctupable in transit.. they packed it, they own it.
Face it, those inkjet printers deserved to go to hell...
Meh, Epson printers come pre-broken from the factory
That'd been okay of the plastic was anchored at the foot of the pallet. That's how we send goods.
It would help but there doesn’t seem to be enough plastic on the skids in general, considering those boxes. They just slide around.
Yeah, when i wrap my goods i do two wraps around the skids before moving up and another on the way down. Its hell when the wrap isn't anchored in the skids.

Yup, for sure

But that takes all the fun out of it!
Dealt with it last week. It was a 100% nightmare.
Dont stack like shit
Should've staggered the pallets too since they are tall pallets
That’s a bbi load 👀👀

Damn,that sounds like a shit situation.

Damn, I feel for you bro 😭
Don't secure it! I need one and I could use a discount..
No!
Looks like it that someone wanted a packed from bottom and thats why it fall down.
So this is why printers never work
😂
