I can and have used my OWN pallet jack to load my truck. I have, however, ran into problems with Unions when I did this.

Me too LOL, I took a skid off and the union dock worker said I couldn't do that. I asked if he wanted me to put it back on the truck so he could take it off:rolleyes:
stupid stupid union rules

It's cold in Ohio? It is quite warm, too warm, here in Michigan. It has been in the 50's all week. WAY above average. Guess it is trying to make up for what has been called the "Coldest Summer" on record here.
It's cold to me.....LOL;) It was 84 degrees on Monday...it's 44 now....I left my beer outside to get cold....when I'm at home it stays in the fridge....lol

That truck is YOUR property...you set the chair on the tail and they reach over and pick it up....you control the truck and YOUR rules...

Exactly, No one is allowed on my truck without my permission
Sometimes I will use my pallet jack because the fork lift drivers are too reckless and don't care about my truck.

I'm in Houston spending Thanksgiving with my wife's aunt. I have freight on board for Laredo delivering tomorrow and I'll leave Houston in the wee hours to run down there and deliver that. Then I'll probably be heading back to Houston to pick up my wife and deadhead home on Saturday. We just took the Laredo load to pay for the trip.

I get to spend 12 hours(unless I can talk 'em into unloading me sooner) at the beautiful Wal-Mart distribution center in Coldwater, Mi
I have a 6:30 am appointment and a 6:00 pm appointment
I get paid wait time from gate to unload on the first appointment but not on the wait time till the second appointment. Average is 2 hours an appointment for unload. So I am almost guaranteed 4 hours wait time. Better than nothing I guess:cool:

Hell I didn't know that was you, I walked right by you twice inside the J. Wish we could visit, but we have a 7 am pick up in Los Indios and we scooted out of there around 11pm. Next time man, oh btw when did you get that shiny new machine, last I knew you were in a Sprinter.

tiny world.

I was planning on seeing TeamCaffee today but got a run out of St Mary's, PA. When making delivery in Los Indios, TX, The Enemy and Jenny were driving out the gate as I drove in. Nice chat, however brief. Not a bad deadhead to my next load. It was the lot next door.

En route to Princeton, IN.
