oh pleeeeze...normally i don't unload the trucks...but it was just a small grocery truck not a big deal right...first thing you should know if you've never done it is that palet jacks have no breaks but can lift up to 5500lbs...next thing is that the docks are sloped so it is easier to get those palets moving out of the truck with enough speed to get over the lip and into receiving and the more you empty the truck the more distance that palet has to pick up speed and momentum(yup that last palet i pulled made all those physics principals i had ignored in class start laughing at me)...then you apply the breaks (huh right all 115 lbs of breaking mechanism oh me oh my) and put said palet somewhere and go get the next one...the first palet was easy...light weight and short distance...then we had not one but two (i wasn't the pulling i swear, no really they where huge drink palets i took one look and wimped out) badly stacked and badly wrapped(one layer of shrink wrap is not enough for a drink palet anyway even a well stacked one) so yeah i was in the middle of cleaning that up nothing burst luckily...needless to say i was a sweat ball after all was said and done wondering why i had bothered to shower befor coming to work and of course i forgot to pick up pain killers (aka beer) on my way home...ah well that'll learn me now i have to use 10 yr old single malt scotch oh woo is me
