Can You Unload A Full Truckload Without A Loading Dock Or Forklift? I Wouldn't!

Lots of people want to hop on the liquidation train right now, but there is a lot more to it than you think. Full semis will not come with lift gates. If you don't have a loading dock, you will need a person(or 2) inside the truck pulling pallets out to the edge while another person operates a forklift below. This will add a lot of time and energy into the process, but would be possible if you have the proper equipment.
Personally, I would never do this without a loading dock. Way too many pallets are oversized and not able to easily be moved. Forget about trying to hand unload. You have limited time to unload each truck or there are additional freight charges!
We use 2 people with pallet jacks to get the driver off the dock as quickly as possible.

That’s literally a dock

I don’t know what you call it, but I call that at dock we’re loading and unloading occurs hence the term loading dock so… If you can come up with a way of unloading a truck that nobody’s thought of before you may find a way of monetizing that. But this isn’t unique.
