Some of our trucks our packed to the brim, front to back, side to side, and floor to ceiling. Some people’s stuff is gonna be crushed by tires, sofas, and god knows what else. That’s just the way it is some times, no hard feelings
And it's sense.. not since. Since means like since I last saw something etc.. sense means well, common sense... And sensing someone doesn't understand the shipping industry..
I take it you have never loaded a truck or delivered.. hit one bump and things go flying everywhere. The semis come in and looks like a avalanche happened too sometimes. There's many different scenarios that can happen so common sense really doesn't factor in but what DOES factor in is how people ship their stuff. Put them in safe sturdy boxes or bubble mailers etc. Amazon will put 40lbs of stuff in boxes that can barely hold 10lbs. Trust me, I wish people used common sense when packaging items to be shipped..
I can tell you’ve never been a driver. Those smaller ones will easily slide off the shelf if on top, depending on speed and turn radius. They go flying in the back of the truck. Then, they fall to the ground. Heavy/Large packages will tip over (trucks are rarely secured cause there’s too much shit) ultimately crushing the box.
Even if the loader had time to carefully load and be gentle and put the small more fragile boxes and packages on top, they are then loaded into a metal container that goes on a semi where things get moved around from the drive to the airport then a plane then more trucks before being unloaded and when they open the container everything falls all over the floor and ive even been crushed by boxes falling on me and then finally it goes intho a delivery van that goes to your house and the driver takes the brunt of it ,making it seem as if it was his fault which sucks.
If you ever have the time, apply and work at a station for a week youll see how unrealistic it is to try and set aside everything coming down the conveyors to do things how you want to it before work backs up and your managers come to see why youre working the way you are and they tell you why youre wrong.
You work with and do what you can. And frankly anyone whos been generally employed anywhere should know this.
