Tales From the Dock Side 1

Trying out my GoPro Hero 2 at my work. I was just loading two trailers...nothing special. Music is by Evil Nine feat. Aesop Rock - "Crooked"

stacking a trailer is the best part of the job it's like you're applying your artistry on your work lol if I get a shitty load I'll go find a trailer with tons of freight that needs to be loaded and even load the impossible just because I like a challenge

[@mattjansen95]

Me too… I love trucking… honest hard work!!! Trucking for life!!!!!

[@carloszamudio6272]

I agree 100%!!!, I'd rather load than break any day.. U get a trailer that looks like it flipped over 3X, b4 it got to the terminal, talk about a pain in the ass..

[@carloszamudio6272]

No BS!!, I LOVE LOADING FOR CUT TIMES, its the EZIEST JOB ON THE PLANET!!!!!

[@HTA25]

It's like Tetris

[@survivingsilverbay4734]

Dude! Thoes forklifts haul ass!!!!!

[@strafer8764]

I used to be a dock lead. Loaded for years all kinds of freight. Monster truck tires, trailer long bundles of pipes, reels, hazardous liquid transported in plastic containers, machinery almost the size of the whole trailer. Used long forks, clamps and so on. Would fix problem loads and reload trailers when dockworkers messed up. Like playing a complicated version of Tetris. I enjoyed it but the hours were terrible and it’s dangerous. We used to stand on the blades to strap in freight. Fell and sliced my calf about a foot and a half long on one of the blades. Had a 30lbs deck bar come loose and fall on my nose. People get their feet ran over, skids fall on them and so on. A lot of preventable injuries but when the time cuts are on its rush time

The problem with LTL is no overtime pay. I used to work for Old dominion 60 hours per week. I work in a manufacturer plant now loading trucks in 60 hours with 20 hours overtime I bring more money home.

[@strafer8764]

It’s a scam they run with the dept of labor. The government runs with the notion that dockworkers don’t get off their lifts so it’s the same as driving a truck all day but we all know it isn’t. That’s why they work you 60 hours to make up for the high base pay. I liked the job but the hours are terrible and loading tires by hand is hardly the same thing as driving a truck

[@seancurtis5307]

Working and loading a taller is like playing Tetris

[@strafer8764]

Are you talking about trailers with deck bars or just the movable racks? But yea it is like Tetris.

[@timsanders3855]

The bad thing is the sup was standinfbg there watching the disaster happen. Feel bad for the dest terminal that had to recoup the mess due to no strapping. Not the OD way.

[@wyattyarbrough7834]

Gotta be 2.0 😂😂😂

[@barakoniner1644]

As a driver these makes me respect loaders so much 👍👍👍

[@bentstrider]

Looks like something good to get into if you're sidelined from driving for whatever reason. Get up in there and stay involved.

[@jessegarcia5693]

This type of loading wouldn't fly at Old Dominion. They want you to rack up & strap everything down. This is easy compared to them. Plus it doesn't seem to be as busy. Outbound is pretty hectic at OD. Lot's more activity & traffic there.

[@jessegarcia5693]

I only did this for 6 weeks. I quickly realized that this is not what I wanted to do. 😅

[@ABC-uy4fw]

I used to work for Old Dominion 65 hours per week; now I work in a manufacturing company loading trucks and I bring more money, because I get paid overtime. Problem with LTL is no overtime pay.

[@PureePlayer]

As a guy at Manatoulin (the shipper you guys use for provincial shipping) I can't fking stand that you guys strap down every skid. LITERALLY EVERY SKID. It's a waste of man power and time. I unload ODFL every morning and nobody likes it because of how shit the loaders are at ODFL at loading the trailer. Skids 2 feet high strapped down with 2 straps and shit. It's truly ridiculous.

[@HTA25]

@@ABC-uy4fw I work for Yellow. They're a LTL and I get overtime all the time...

[@strafer8764]

@@PureePlayer it takes one minute to unstrap a skid and it beats recouping poorly secured freight. Some women them don’t know what they are doing. A pallet doesn’t have to be strapped in if it is sandwiched. Should only have to deal with every other one unless its in the air.

[@freetesting4358]

Bruh made this look so easy... but why none of the top pallets were secured with ropes, airbags, nor beams. It must be a morning shift thing, I heard its easier work.

[@josephmccoy3937]

Free Testing from what I've been taught if the first two skids are on the wall they're fine and anything from that point on is good if the skid is taller the one on top

[@LostHeartDoc]

well. if i remember, it was in the beginning of this video he started to rework the pup and put a mobil deck in the nose. couple of things i saw being stacked could have certainly used some dunnage and maybe a airbag but it had 8fts going in behind them and since they’re already blocked in the nose, the skids behind them brace. i’d close and seal that trailer

[@THESWAGGINACES]

lol you'd be surprised how much freight actually gets stacked. Have worked at XPO, Estes, and FedEx freight and every company double stacks. That's what the dunnage between the freight is for.

[@strafer8764]

You learn as you encounter different freight. It will take weeks to months

[@Error-5478]

What the guy did at 4:45 we are no longer allowed to do, atleast at where I work which is FedEx. Just a few weeks ago we had a man die from freight being stood up like this. In fact what he does later in the video where he puts it on the tail is exactly how this guy died, he opened the barn doors on a trailer and turned his back and a tall 2 thousand pound peice of freight had been stood up, it fell out of the trailer crushed him.

Well nobody is allowed anywhere to stand up 2000 LBs by the door. Just stupid, no common sense. And I guarantee you that skid he moved at 4:45 was less than 45LBs for him to move it like that. I work at R n L.
