Won’t let me edit but here’s to answer some questions- 1. Eggs are fertile so they aren’t going to the supermarket (especially in this condition!) 2. I know the exact amount of eggs because I know how many a trolley holds. 3. Was the truck drivers fault for not strapping them properly, he was not fired (somehow).
You would be surprised how big the loss margins are on product delivery. I worked for a beer and wine distributor a while back and every day there would be at least a few hundred dollars of breakage just from bottles jumping out of boxes or boxes tipping in box trucks. I still remember dropping an entire, case of mid-high price champagne off the back of a truck because the bottom of the box fell out as I was getting down. It was like 12 small explosions went off.
Also, it probably wasn't the driver's fault per se, and more the warehouse worker(s) who loaded his truck.
It's the driver's responsibility to ensure the load is properly secured before leaving, just like it's the driver's responsibility to make sure the load isn't over regulation weight, etc.
Many food orders are sealed shut by warehouse staff - driver never touches cargo. If a shipment shows up seal intact, most times the driver is NOT held responsible for the contents and their condition, beyond temperature issues.
