What the hell are those straps
BenjaminAnthony@reddit (OP)
They're new to my company. They're pretty badass man. They're a 2 sided ratchet strap and they work really well but a lot of the time the warehouse will put them on backwards so you can't do anything other than cut them off. When the warehouse loads correctly though they're great

Nuts. Have you used boards+ratchet straps before? If so, how would they compare?

You gotta clip those bulkheads in
BenjaminAnthony@reddit (OP)
I clipped the bulkhead in and put a load lock in front of it... Sometimes shit happens brother. I woke up and checked my trailer before starting and this happened. The pallet must've fell and eventually overloaded the strength of those and fell through. Shit happens

Yea, that’s on you for not downstacking at your last stop. I did almost 20 years at GFS and that’s exactly what that looks like to me.

Why would driver need to downstack? Isnt it loader or orderfillers job to make pallet stable?
unlicensed_dentist@reddit
He took product off at his last stop. That’s by no means a full pallet. Once he opens the wrap, it’s on him/her to ensure the product is stable to go from stop to stop.

Nope that's a full pallet. Had the load secured with a bulk head and a load lock at the end of the day and went into the hotel and came back out to this. Shit happens
