I found its easier to simply back up to the bay so its obvious what they need to do.. If they for some reason are an asshole, and still dropped it on the dock, I'd be an equal asshole, walk back into office and request to have what I paid for done, loaded into my truck  .
I've never had to do this though, as only once I had any issue with a forklift driver. He didn't want to wait on me, I realized (jeez, the coffe break room was calling him or something ! hehe After that time, I did the park before going in thing. |
The issue is my trailer doesn't come anywhere close to dock height, they have to come out of the building to load my trailer. Like I said most of them do it no problem some of them, not so much. If the product is loaded loose and not on a pallet, forget it. Teamsters!
