i dont get how they can make you break down without any thought of training or induction
I dont get why drivers are foolish enough to do this breaking down!! Surely thats the job of the warehousman■■? 
Saaamon:
Can anyone explain to me what this “break down” thing is?
it’s where there are mixed goods on the same pallet and the bone idle lazy goods in staff wont seprate the diffrent items themselves to check them off. i used too do it but in the end i used too just tell that i wasnt allowed too.
Apart from wakefield, I haven’t got a problem doing morrisons. I must be lucky as I’ve always had good tips at all of them. Id do ten morrisons rather than one tesco

That sounds abit odd, as you say that sounds like a warehouse mans job, are haulage companies ok with drivers doing this? I’ve only done a handful of supermarket tips.

I’ve been banned off site at Morrisons Gadbrook. Superb news, I never have to return to that [zb] hole again!
I know how you feel, some RDC’S and alike are horrible places to be 
But now you’re boss has a problem, if the only loaded trailer in the yard is loaded for Morrisons Gadbrook and you’re the only available driver looks like you’re out of a days pay and the deliverys going to be made late Not an ideal situation to be in 
Just saying like

these same people on here working for minimum wage 
DOING AS THEY’RE TOLD! 
They did tip me, they had to really as I was already on the loading bay when they banned me. Boss wasnt over pleased as he had to “smooth the waters”.
Note to self; dont argue with a scouse jobsworth…
Trukkertone:

some companies are, the last firm i was with that did rdc work wouldnt let us do that (not that i wanted too anyway) because 1 lad claimed too have hurt his back and claimed off the firm
My old boss always refused to allow us to break palletts down. Just dit there and wait and bill them demurrage. Never had a problem. Probably changed a bit since the nineties though…
All I will say is that when I drove for Sainsbury’s at Hams Hall absolutely no one was alliwedinside the warehouse without food health and hygeine training (an eight hour course).Dunno about nowadays but in 2002-08 whilst I was there they said it was a legal requirement.
Get on flat trailers, bye bye RDC zb holes

I always respond to someone in the same manner as Im spoken to, so the gobby little scouse [zb] didnt know what hit him when he mouthed off at me
Quite right.

the place was rammed and i was one of the last to be tipped so when i was done i parked facing the bays for my notes only for the sergant to tell me to pull out n walk back in i told him there was no room it was all double yellows an the wardens were about
he was giving it the big one untill i said il pull out either once i get my notes or he gives me the money to pay for a ticket at that point he walked off shaking his head and i couldnt resist giving him a wave n a see ya pal just as i was leaving

I don’t understand how it takes so long to count product either. I’ve been waiting 3+ hours before now for paperwork at Wilko Magor

Thanks for that.
I have banned M Wakefield, Rushden and Gadbrook and put them on my blacklist
