That's what you get when you expect more from your employees, but pay
them less! *:)


You are aware that Target truck drivers are Teamsters right?


What I saw was a truck driving off before the driver bothered to see if
the load was secure, and some clowns on the loading dock who let him do
it. I couldn't tell whether it was a Target truck, or a member of the
IBT driving the truck. Could you?


I had loading dock jobs for two summers when I was in college, once for
Shick Razor in Milford and the other for Hulls Export Beer in New Haven..
I have no memory of a driver pulling out of the loading docks before
checking to see if the load was secure and the box doors were closed.


Most facilities now have padded walls around the dock for security and
climate control. You can't see the back doors of the truck from
outside the building until you pull away. The security and size of
most facilities don't allow the driver to come in and check from the
inside. Anybody who really worked in a warehouse would know that..Of
course, I really worked in a warehouse facility, unlike you who
probably pushed paper in the office with the girlz.- Hide quoted text -

There's lots of safety equipment in place now days. Besides the dock
seals that you are talking about, there are dock locks, that secure
the trailer to the dock mechanically so that the truck can't drive off
until someone pulls the lever.
