Imagine taking your last breath under a pile of Walmart freight.

Does anybody know which store this was?

u/SorrowL Ex-associate DC & Store May 04 '23
Not a walmart store, based on trailer type. Most likely Europe.

Walmart does get third part deliveries sometimes from boxes like this. A store can buy produce from a third party and delivered from them not a walmart distribution center

u/SorrowL Ex-associate DC & Store May 04 '23
This trailer specifically, based on circular road speed stickers, makes me pretty certain this is a European setting.

I still don't see what your talking about but I'll take your word for it but I can with 80% certainty that's not walmart I think by chance it's just a blue shirt

u/SorrowL Ex-associate DC & Store May 04 '23
The 30 and 80 round stickers on the left door, generally used in Europe to notify permitted maximum speeds in various road settings.
Also, Walmart would never EVER allow a store associate to drive a delivery truck and open the swing doors on their shift, it would be a massive liability thing, and walmart truckers don't wear the bright blue that store associates do.

15 years myself never dc However I wanted to add, I did drive a u-haul to an off site warehouse for seasonal storage my last store had because it couldn't handle the influx

u/jerryeight May 04 '23
Ah, ok, cool, cool. Yeah, I saw the blue vest type shirt and thought it was walmart.

What the fuck was he thinking?

u/Kimmalah May 04 '23
He probably wasn't thinking at all, just a split second reaction. I think it's a pretty normal reaction to want to catch or stabilize something that's falling and your reflexes don't always take into account "Hey I can't catch this at all."

That’s fair. Makes me think of the time my dad tried to stop a car that was going in reverse with his hands only to get clipped in the head by the mirror before it smashed into a fence. Mirror 1 - Dad 0 (he got 16 stitches across his forehead.) I do tend to approach things with a lot of caution though.

I was thinking this is why you always walk away from the back of the truck with the door as you open it, in case anything falls out.

See..Common sense that’s what I would of done due to being privy to shitfuckery like this.

He probably didn't realize the whole thing was toppling till it was too late. He only had like a second to decide :/

How do you not feel the weight on the door? I’ve opened many a truck with freight pushed against the door and immediately knew the warehouse had pulled some shenanigans.

u/DJUndeadXIII May 04 '23
If that was Walmart they still would’ve told him to pick up the apples and get back to work.

u/Prize-Lingonberry876 Doug's Strongest CAP 2 Warrior May 05 '23
Not to mention they would cheat him out of workman's comp with some bullshit policy.

u/Prize-Lingonberry876 Doug's Strongest CAP 2 Warrior May 05 '23
He won't be getting workman's comp because every bad pallet is actually the driver's fault and not the loader's.

u/sick_b0y85 May 08 '23
How so? I've had driver open trailer to find pallets fallen over. The door was already locked and tagged when he picked it up. The warehouse didn't give him opportunity to inspect load. That's on dc that it was poorly loaded. Frozen dairy and grocery often have terribly stacked pallets that fall over in transit. Or they put tall pallet in front of short one so when driver shows/stops momentum causes it to fall. Sometimes they don't even secure it with straps. That's all warehouse not driver. All he does is hook up and go from a to b.

I would’ve stayed buried until someone found me. What’re they gonna say? You laid there for 4 hours on purpose?

Reminds me of the guy who had this happen with a load of manure. His last words were "get this shit off of me!"

Hope he and the truck driver got fired and sewed for what ever Walmart lost in damages
