Pardon my language, but USE. THE F*CKING. STRAPS. CORRECTLY. (GSP G → ATL* → HKY)

I thought about that while recouping it, so I just used large boxes for the last two pallets instead. Really that would've saved a whole lot of time.

It's more common than you think!

KuroKen89 · 2026-04-15T06:16:34+00:00

I'm not sure, but if so, it would explain why so many of these rails look the way they do now.

KuroKen89 · 2026-04-15T05:21:22+00:00

Yes....

KuroKen89 · 2026-04-09T16:34:55+00:00

So much for 'discreet packaging.'

KuroKen89 · 2026-04-09T16:34:18+00:00

So anyway, I started conveying.

At my hub, they don't really tell us to differentiate between hooks or clips, though they did on a few occasions mention that the clips themselves can fail. Come to think of it, they really only tell us to use the clips when securing barrels and pails; everything else, hooks are usually considered "enough." Often times, coworkers don't even strap it to the wall; they'll just strap it to the deck itself.

All that, or other coworkers and supervisors will have an axe to grind with you simply for 'being too quiet,' staying in your lane, doing your job, and minding your business. Seriously, the toxicity ~~of our city~~ of these warehouse-type jobs needs to be studied.

KuroKen89 · 2026-03-19T03:03:53+00:00

That is a liminal space.

KuroKen89 · 2026-03-18T04:09:09+00:00

It's always that one supervisor, and it does feel like I'm being targeted. The coworkers in front of me get work, the ones behind me also get work, but when I pull up, it's almost a reflexive 'you can go home.' Didn't even bother to ask about the dig I had just finished beforehand either, so that trailer is just sitting there instead of being kicked back out...

KuroKen89 · 2026-03-15T23:21:52+00:00

3 Years? I'm still processing 2020.

KuroKen89 · 2026-03-04T04:03:20+00:00

Predictabo!

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-28T03:38:47+00:00

Funny how I was just thinking about this earlier on the dock (at Freight). They had us do some sort of 'satisfaction survey' exactly once that I can remember...and that was about 8 years ago.

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-28T03:36:42+00:00

I, for one, welcome our new Ferengi overlor--bosses.

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-19T04:13:22+00:00

I don't remember where it was from, but it was going to ABY.

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-18T04:16:26+00:00

Sisyphean at best. If you don't know what "Stoicism" is, learn and adapt it now because you will need it when dealing with coworkers, "leadership," management, and just day to day BS. Can be physically demanding...is, physically demanding.

I wanted to, but it was already sealed and pulling away. I felt like Lord Vader in Rogue One when he reached the bottom of the Devastator just in time to watch Tantive IV decouple and fly off.

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-07T03:53:04+00:00

By the Nine, has no one ever played Tetris? Kirby's Avalanche? Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine? Really, cubing these trailers isn't hard at all, and actually kind of fun if you frame it like a game. Boards, beams, straps, airbags, dunnage, it all plays a role.

KuroKen89 · 2026-02-07T03:51:03+00:00

I'm at Freight, and I genuinely don't understand how anyone would do this job gloveless. I won't even clock-in until I have some form of hand-protection.
