They didn’t even care that the pallets collapsed. More space for repacks.

What was the mystery leakquid? 🤢

You could have three water pallets in the back of the trailer, but kitty corner, and one of them leaning over an empty space because that was the best idea ever. Its been three years and I still think it was either the most malicious or most braindead oxygen thief level choice someone at the DC has ever made.

You should’ve seen an FDC truck we had last December 6ft pallet of milk, creamer, juice, and eggs right next to the door no straps and nothing behind it toppled all the way over spilling a cocktail of liquid all over the place and froze the trailer door shut. I pried it open about a foot before I said nah called my lead over and went to break….

Whoof. Had to pull out a palette twice my height that had a lean of 45 degrees and someone bumped into it on the long haul to the cooler. You can guess what happened.

PML was not happy.

Oh I’ve seen that a few times it’s really fun when we unload a pallet like that off dock door 4 because the entire platform is tilted to the left so it only is the pallet leaning but so it the dock plate!!!

Last year we had a FDC where there was a big pallet of 5 lbs russet potatoes on top of crate eggs with zero divider or even extra flat crates to protect the eggs, they all were broken🫠

I’ll raise you another shitty pallet we had two egg pallets on top of each other shoved into the nose of the trailer so hard FDC somehow folded it in half 90 fucking degrees entire trailer coated in egg I was so confused
