A mate was about to leave the depot,and told me that a famous TV chef`s restaurants delivery expects the driver to haul it all up the stairs,by hand,my opinion is they have only paid for a pallet delivery,not for the additional time of hand balling it,which will delay the driver in his rounds,it is best to plonk the pallet on the roadside and let the kitchen porters cart it.But get the signature first before doing a runner.
Yep that’s the way to do it.
i used to deliver to heston bloementhal’s restaurant in Bray near maidenhead, you gotta cause chaos as their stores are in a seperate building which is in a car park which is behind a pub and you gotta reverse down there and its bloody tight. and after all that mucking about sometimes cars would be parked near the door to the stores and would have to park about 20ft from the door, as it was a gravel surface you couldnt pull a heavy pallet on it, so i would just pull the pallet(s) off and leave them for them to carry in, thier faces were a picture when you tell them you only deliver and not stack their store shelves for them…sign on the dotted line please 
And forge the signature on that electronic gizmo,where you doodle on it without a pen,you know what i mean,status of pallet=delivered,is it damaged=no,is the customer present,-well sort of,as soon as i chuck his pallet out the back door,i`m off with the engine running.

A friend told me that when he was on agency,the agency phoned him and asked if he wanted to work saturday for 3663,they said’it’s only one drop manchester!!!
so he said ‘ok’, the one drop was Piccadilli railway station.
When he got there at 8.00 he found out that he had to deliver to all the cafe’s and fastfood places in there.
He parked in the sevice bay underneath the station and had to strip down 12 plts and use a little sack truck to haul all the boxes up in a lift.
He finished at 20.00 !
He never worked for 3663 again.
Cadburys expect a pallet break down,at outlet malls,where they sell so called cheap chocalate,when it is not,the customers are fooled in to it by clever marketing,with bulk bags and special offers.
How many of us have hidden a broken box,knowing the pallet would have got rejected.

A pallet truck does not work well over gravel,we just ring in and drive off.

Or removed a couple of boxes then restacked the pallet to hide the discrepancy.
Trick of the trade,not worth the hastle if they see the broken packing while the contents are not damaged,they reject it anyways.

i find no point in doing that if i know its me thats going to be sent back on another day to deliver it, so i just drag it off the tail lift and leave them to it…1 of the things i dont miss about my rigid days

assuming he was paid by the hour I’d say not really surprised by the amount of easterners coming to work in the uk.

I’d say he was a lucky one them lol. When I worked for 3663 we didn’t have the privilege of sack trucks, I also very rarely managed to get a pallet truck either. I’d have something like 10 pallets no cages no sack truck no pallet truck. So I’d have to hand-ball from pallet to the doors. Then from the doors into the customer. I’m never taking a multi-drop job again!!

dont know y he did that as you can get the pallets in the lifts i done that station many times before its 3 drops the kfc the burger king and the ssp contract that was a big one but the store was on the same floor as the loading bay and once dropped off they then shared the gear out between the different places the only bad thing about that place is 1 you need a swipe card to get in and out of all the doors 2 when doing kfc or bk iys a fair old walk 3 sometimes that service yard can get a bit tight with cars parked were they shouldnt
your mate should have asked how they normally do belive me no way in this world would i be doing what he done or was it a case of dragging it out as he is payed by the hr
