Sams club canton Ohio rejected load over this

I could literally fix this in t minutes yet they had us bring it to Florence KY to get reworked. Absolute lunacy
diragono@reddit
I work for Coke, if the pallet looks like that when I open the door we call that a win. It’s when I open the door and immediately cans and or bottles fall on my feet that I know my day just went to shit
Upstairs_Anywhere_19@reddit
They rejected it because when u drop that pallet to them and they take over handling that pallet is liable to tip and cause mayhem.
ZYN_MINT@reddit
This is an insane strap job
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
Prior driver did that to stop mots slide I guess.
Successful-Spinach38@reddit
He's really proficient in strapping
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
They aren't gonna stay tight when there's space between product and the wall
Successful-Spinach38@reddit
For sure? )))
acutemisadventure@reddit
Where was it delivering to?
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
Sam's Club north canton Ohio
acutemisadventure@reddit
For distance that short and relatively flat I mean I personally wouldn't have strapped it.
Only way those are going to move is if you slam on the gas and for some odd reason have your truck set up like a Top Fuel dragster that has instant throttle response
At least not strapped that way
Elite_Fighter@reddit
I've been told that it's better to have them on in the event of any kind of claim to help reduce liability. Crazy stuff always happens when it's unexpected. Takes 30 seconds to slap a strap on there
bob696988@reddit
Probably should’ve crisscrossed them
LuisChoriz@reddit
this is a truckers dream
snarksneeze@reddit
OP is about to be the most popular driver at the next truck stop, for sure!
Vast_Obligation8213@reddit
I'm not sure what you mean? Op said reworked... that means move the pallets around, not that he gets to keep them?
U_MightNotUnderstand@reddit
Truckers; we're famously smart and well adjusted, able to discern nuance and apply our thorough understanding of vocabulary and word usage, lmao

Frodizzlv@reddit
So what technically happens when a load is rejected? Is it free? Or does it get sent back to the original sender?
shitishouldntsay@reddit
Depends on who is receiving it. I've seen crazy stuff get rejected and the driver end up getting to "dispose of it".
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
I'm at a rework facility 260 miles away to have them fix the pallet. They'd rather pay us to bring it here. Pay to rework it. Then drive back than slide it back on the pallet.
FoxCape@reddit
How often does stuff like this happen?
RebelTvshka@reddit
Common enough for me to still have enough dehydrated mashed potatoes that (at my family's current rate of consumption) I won't have to buy any for another 3 years. It's been 5 years since I did refrigerated work. Luckily they rejected it close to home.
Kodiak01@reddit
I used to work at a Freightshaker dealer near a C&S facility. At least once a week someone would pull in asking if we wanted some free perishables off a rejected load.
The good ol' days.
Silent_Swan1630@reddit
It definitely still happens some companies/brokers even let you donate the truck load to a food bank
thescartographer@reddit
cries in flatbed I can only imagine the joy on my face if I had a rejected load of checks notes lumber and steel coils 🥲
ba123blitz@reddit
Probably at least a grand for a coil at the scrapyard
SmooveKJ@reddit
Gamestop will give you 100 bucks store credit, 80 bucks cash
Cute-Region-3449@reddit
I’m happy to take home the extra dunnage that receivers don’t want that was placed by the shipper 🤣
Nero-Danteson@reddit
Very common actually.
SargeOsis@reddit
I believe every bit of that. I am surprised there wasn't somebody closer than 4 hours. Somewhat surprise they didn't hire a lumper service to come do the restack on site. We've had that a couple times.
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
They wanted us to take it back to Roanoke Texas and we said no.
TexasTango@reddit
It would take an hour of your time to restack that yourself and a roll of cling film. Doing a 520 mile round trip to come back is absolutely stupid
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
Wasn't our fault. Broker is paying the miles to rework then redeliver
SmooveKJ@reddit
Broker gonna fight to pay that
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
Bro if you only knew. He was trying to scam them saying he pulled it all off and redid the whole load not realizing we have pictures of it before we took it to him and so does the broker. 6 hrs later echo called me direct and basically said fuck this guy leave.
SmooveKJ@reddit
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 what an idiot
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
Exactly. I'm paid by the hour so I just chilled.
audible_narrator@reddit
Probably but ten bucks says the trip to a rework facility is company mandated
craigslammer@reddit
He don’t get paid doing it himself.
To0zday@reddit
One time I had a small pallet of apple sauce that was rejected because it was cinnamon apple sauce. Receiver didn't want it, and dispatch told me I could do whatever with it so long as I brought him a tub.
I held on to a couple and gave the rest away at a Loves
KV_86@reddit
Meanwhile i have to drive to some gods forgotten store in some zombie land village to bring back 3 donuts that are past expiration date. And every single of those are counted
SargeOsis@reddit
One of these things. You get a restack at another facility. That'll typically eat up the rest of your day. Depending on who thinks who is at fault it may be on the carrier to pay. Always take photos. They may require you to drive it somewhere else which is paid usually at the same mileage. They may require you donate the "damaged" product. You'll need to provide receipts in most cases. Small damage claims just get tossed in a dumpster or the rribeyr keeps them. Like the 320 lbs of cat litter Aldi or somebody didn't want. My driver took half and I got half.
justhereforthefunnyZ@reddit
Depends sometimes someone else will buy it. Happened to me once with strawberries. Entire load got rejected and had to drive to the Bronx where they accepted the load. This was 10 years ago and I was at a Walmart distribution center (not a Walmart truck driver back then)
donnthebuilder@reddit
new driver here. i’m not seeing what’s wrong with it.
IgnoringHisAge@reddit
The whole cube of product is a few inches off center on the pallet (the side on the centerline of the trailer is hanging off). The cube itself isn’t plumb and square. And those straps are probably deforming those boxes.
For most products at most places, this isn’t enough to comment on, let alone reject. But some vendors and receivers get real fucking fussy about stuff.
donnthebuilder@reddit
ah i see. just how Jesus Christ sees us as his children. his love a blazing flame. cleansing the sins of all who call on him.
jigglyha@reddit
I’ve worked at a Sam’s dc for 32 years. I would like to see pictures of the rest of the load. I could fix that pallet in about 30 seconds. Maybe it was an asshole manager which is possible.
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
The rest of it was fine. They only reworked the one pallet.
apathy420@reddit
Shit I’m receiving at a lowes and this ain’t nothing! If all else failed we would just grab another pallet and hand stack some on. But this looks like no problem getting it off with a forklift. Some of the stuff we get ltl is much worse than this.
Huzul34@reddit
What exactly are those straps supposed to stop?
Brave-Warthog6273@reddit
Shoot I would reject it just because of the drink this drink is terrible for ur body health 🤮
lcfr822@reddit
Just park a stacker gently against it and downstack the top couple layers. That's what I always did.
goldeng666se@reddit
Looks like Michael J Fox strapped that
IgnoringHisAge@reddit
What was the origin point for this load. Like, who loaded it?
Jacktheforkie@reddit
Why do so many of you guys put them that way round? On straight up n down pallets you can put em 90 degrees around and they support each other against the walls
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
This was to stop it from sliding more.
JoshHatesFun_@reddit
Quarter turn the pallet and there's not room to slide in the first place.
Jacktheforkie@reddit
I’d have put it the other way on the first place to avoid this
Niko120@reddit
So that’s why all the monsters that I deliver are all trashed. IDK what is in those things but they make a god-awful stink when they’ve been busted and sitting for a while
Wasabi-Kungpow@reddit
Well if they put in air bags between the pallets none of this would happen. But those $2 air bags are too expensive and they rather trash a whole pallet of product.
JoshHatesFun_@reddit
Or if they just turned them sideways...
Echoing_Ghost@reddit
Sounds pretty accurate for Canton OH
WackoMcGoose@reddit
Home Depot storeside employee here, this is a flawless truck load compared to some of the shit the RDCs have sent us. We've had pallets of toilets stacked on top of individual paint cans...
HighwayStar71@reddit
Who's the tard who put the load straps on like that?
Megalodon7770@reddit
Walmart =shitheels
CaptainGibbs96@reddit
Say less. I've been sitting half a mile away on ten thousand pounds of limes for near 2 days waiting on a new appointment from walmart because my water pump went 2 miles after picking up the load and the dumb fucks at my company never rescheduled the first appointment.
Ordinary_Poet4087@reddit
I had a company make me travel all the way from Atlanta to Dallas and then I was supposed to go home and it was for beer. I think it was the Coors company and the red apple ale or whatever it is they’re 12 pack of bottles I don’t know I don’t drink anymore shifted a full inch to the right and there was three sets of them and they were kind of catty corner to the wall of the trailer and the rest of it was fine and they declined the the load this happened to me a week ago so then I had to wait for my company to reach out to a company. Pay them to unload the whole truck. Take it off the pallet put it back on the pallet nice and neat then they had to saran wrap it and then put it back. In the meantime they blamed it on me because they said I had to strap it. There was no room to strap anything and I watched a video on it. I couldn’t get it tight enough and then by the time I got it back, they said they were gonna go ahead and take it this time even though it had shifted a little bit because the strap came loose. I almost had to sit for another two days because no matter what anybody did the strap would not stay tight. This is why I told him I don’t strap anything cause it never works out for me, but they’re specific loads that we always have to strap and they always move.
Euphoric_Fisherman70@reddit
Boo hoo Sam's club fucking cry about it. Not that big of a deal. Why such pussies?
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
You're so tough. So smart. The bravest!
Cheap_Speaker_5481@reddit
I believe that you mis read what he said. He is calling Sams Club pussies and asking why they are crying about it is how I read it. I could be wrong
Nearby-Border-5899@reddit
My buddy is the one who rejected you...he sent me a picture of this load and I said yeah reject it. For the record, this one is on portage st right behind an IHOP...too bad there was a movie theater and walmart near by that allows semi parking
Your welcome chud, do better next time....SAMS CLUB 4 LYFFEEE
Timely_Flow_3346@reddit
Who tf snitched …
bullpupsquishy@reddit
Thats why I stopped taking loads for pepsi products. Lol, had to rework pallets from 2 different runs in a row. Said. "Nah, they can keep it."
JankyMark@reddit
Yeah it’s always beverage loads that need to be rework
collegepreppymuscles@reddit
Easy check for the driver on to the next one
Waisted-Desert@reddit
Gotta send work to the wife's boyfriend who reworks pallets.
truckensafely@reddit
This is one of the reason why retail deliveries suck a$$, it doesn’t matter what company it is.
MoosiePie22@reddit
Let me get 2 cases 😍😍😍😍😍
Tobias---Funke@reddit
I’ve had pallets like the tower of pizza!
They normal just shoulder barge them back or push them against another pallet.
mcmain4@reddit
Hmmmmm pizzza
Ghost-1911@reddit
*Pisa
😂
hoppertn@reddit
No no, I want to hear more about this tower of Pizza. 🤤
possibly_lost45@reddit (OP)
They refused
Parking-Signature867@reddit
One question would they notice one or two missing for restacking this pallet by hand? So much faster and cheaper
Silent_Swan1630@reddit
Probably not if you took them out the middle
Such_Pickle_908@reddit
Yes
They will reject over anything. Nail exposed, reject. Broken or damaged pallet, reject. They want everything neat and orderly to be shopped off of.
treecutter34@reddit
If they won’t take it, go by a construction site and charge 2 bucks a can, in about 90 seconds it will be off your hands.
Significant_Pilot693@reddit
30 mins I'll be in Canton. Just put it in my bed.
TruckinTuba@reddit
Wow... I've delivered loads with exploded energy drinks because they froze, still accepted
Correct_Writer_3410@reddit
PSA to everyone here, NEVER go to that DC. Refuse all loads to it. It's the worst/most unreasonable DC in the entire Eastern time zone.
They are known to reject loads for minor things like this all the time and also they make you leave if you're more than 15 minutes early checking in to the guard shack. And they mark your arrival when you talk to the guard, line could easily be 30+ min to do that. So it's literally impossible to be on time and not risk being turned around for being 16min early.
Kodiak318@reddit
That’s WalMart 100% count and upright stability. They used to cut loads for leaning Dasani pallets.
Nero-Danteson@reddit
But yet the store loads are absolutely the worst stacking jobs you'll ever see
Kodiak318@reddit
I’m not justifying it lol, but WalMart is kind of terrible, lol.
Nero-Danteson@reddit
It's just kinda funny to me.
mydeadface@reddit
I'll take em.
TwoToadsKick@reddit
Put it on the other wall and hit the pallet sideways with a jack
Ornery_Ads@reddit
You'll damage the cans...
This needs a manual rework, but even if they do want to refuse it as-is (which is insane), the driver should've been able to leave the property, rework it across the street and come back with it restacked.
TwoToadsKick@reddit
How they're sitting on cardboard. Just sliding the pallet back under it. Do this with cheap plastic wrapped bags and it's always been fine
Ornery_Ads@reddit
I think you should rework that load into my garage... please and thank you
Big-Permission1243@reddit
For some of the pickers at our warehouse that would actually be considering a well built pallet. Some of our guys do some wild shit that you’re amazed is still standing when you get to the first stop.
Live-Door3408@reddit
This is why I like flatbed, more control over the securement of my freight (not really tho lol)
spiritofjazz92@reddit
Drop that pallet at my place 😭
muck2profit@reddit
... free monsters??????? Send em this way
