Sams club canton Ohio rejected load over this

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

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?

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.

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

*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.
