So you turn up at site,drop your tri on bay and then park truck up in designated parking area.
Your then asked by suppliers if while your waiting for your tri too be loaded if you’ll shunt some tris for them( put them on bays) ,you refuse as if there’s any kind of damage found at some point in future you could get blamed for it .
Told then you might as well leave site,driver gets tri and leaves site .
This wasn’t me ,but told too me by another company driver,
I’ve done it in past moved the odd tri for other companies,never really gave it a second thought to be fair.
But had he a point,could you get blame for damage,has anyone ever got the blame for damage after moving another company’s tri/ truck,is it then reasonable to then tell driver too leave site when he refuses too. 
Dont think I would move them as they might blame you & can you prove it tbh as they could make you the scapegoat fro something going wrong
Were they on break did they have the driving time
If there was parking outside I would quite happy leave or if had trl even better
Well would you do this at Tesco while you have a few hours to spare waiting to tip … 
And yes you would be accountable for any and ALL damage you cause and anything anyone think they could get away with.
Think about it you bend a wing putting your trailer on a bay then someone from some other company moves it. who you really gonna tell your boss who bent it … " Not me Gov they got outside drivers shifting trailers in that place "
I personally wouldn’t have a problem moving the trailers, but, and it’s a big but, As it’s no longer the 1980’s I’d firstly seek clarification from my TM (not some random clerk) that this was acceptable before I moved one.
It’s important to have your umbrella firmly up before doing anything like this to ensure the brown and smelly misses your head should the unthinkable happen as sure as eggs is eggs they’ll try to pin it on you the driver.
might do it for £10 per trailer. 
Just ask to be put on the payroll, for insurance and legal purposes. 
WIth the current reluctance by employers to actually give full time jobs to even full timers, you’ll never be asked for anything like that again! 
Just say ‘No’ to Adso. Lousy slogans, but good advice.
I will add a little true tale (not MMTM)
I will keep the details scant to protect the guilty
When I was working in the traffic office for a large logistics company on a contract, we needed a curtainsided trailer moving of a bay but there were no tractor units available (the shunter was broke down again), so we asked a guy waiting to load who we knew well if he would do us a favour and pull it of the bay and park it up for us - yes no problem
He then picks up the fully loaded trailer (about 3 weeks old) and drives off the bay, first corner drops the trailer on its knees, he had overshot the pin and hitched it in front of the 5th wheel ( he normally pulled a tank so did not think anything about it being a bit close to the back of the unit)
Upshot of this - trailer was wrote off, whole 25tonnes of loaded product was scrapped and the upper management tried to claim off this owner driver, we explained that he was doing a favour and they let it go.
Procedure was changed from then on - no asking favours regardless of how urgent the need.
Far as I am concerned (been on both sides of the fence) get them to sign a disclaimer or just refuse to cover your bottom
JAKEY:

+1
Been there done that,never again,DONT GET INVOLVED
Used to get 20 quid off an asian supermarket place wee used to load at for shunting their storage trailers. No worries about damage co they were scrap trailers an my boss just said do it if i wanted to and it kept the customer happy.
Any ‘outsider’ that moves any trailers from bay to fence in our yard will get either a case of beer (24 cans, not 12 bottles) or a case of wine…if I’m still about in the morning, I do the important bits while the driver stays in the cab…takes 2 minutes…or place is 30 odd years old and wasn’t designed for artics in/out all day and ain’t the place to be after 5:30-6:00!

Cheeky 
not a chance on digi cards as we’ll? NEVER! some SCREWDRIVERS never learn asked a few weeks back at blacks of Bathgate! " hiya drive, how much driving time of you got left? " 
me replied " I’m on 9.59 hours! Why? " office ■■■■■■■■■ " we were told by your office, that you could move a trailer! " 
I dropped the bombshell " I’m kipping in your yard for nine, thank you! " went down like an SBD in a lift!

Fair play
I shunted a couple of trailers for a fruit company in Surrey a few years back,fella said he’d
give me a box of fruit as goodwill ( fair do’s )
Did it & went to get a box of fruit fella nowhere to be seen & a jobsworth asked me what I was doing in the warehouse
told him and he said " no chance you cant take that its against company policy "
So moved the 2 trailers off the bay and put them back on the fence,hooked mine up and knobbed off.Cheeky basitids !

Your right but what a sad old job, America has influenced modern society for the worse in my opinion.
ask for a quick written disclaimer that they could sign,if they say no thats their problem
I’ve been asked this before, the answer was and always will be no. There could have been a fault on the trailer for a week with nobody bothering to repair it, but the moment you move it you will wind up paying for the repairs.
See years and years ago people used to help anyone but those days are long gone now due to the fact of people suing others for accidental damage. Welcome to the modern age
Knew I had one somewhere!! Not to easy to gain a full perspective but this is the yard from the car park gate…trucks on the left are on the bay, right side are waiting. It’s not a doctored pic or cropped, that’s straight off the iPhone. The 2 motors in the foreground show maximum available room when parked opposite, so you can guess what it’s like when it’s chocka…only the ‘bravest of the brave’ dare venture inside the gate after 6:30 . Think I got one somewhere that was taken from ‘upstairs’ and in daylight.
