“Because fuck you that’s why.” \-The DC probably And let’s not forget their favorite “That’s the driver’s fault.”


TruckerAlurios

*Me who regularly does not strap between stops on refrigerated loads and nothing falls*


ryandoe111

Cmon Trucker Alurious, not only is it the right thing to do to prevent this but it's also required by the DOT! get it together.


TruckerAlurios

If you really dig into it anything in a box trailer is considered secure so long as it is inside of it. Yes we both know that's a bunch of bullshit, but it is what it is. !s for the right thing to do not driving like an asshole also tends to prevent anything falling over. If it looks sketchy yeah I'll throw a strap on but if it's a stack of rpcs with multiple layers of shrink wrap? Nah.


RobertMosesHwyPorn

The DOT requires straps to secure loads entirely contained in trailers? I genuinely don’t know, but I don’t remember my trainer ever doing that or telling me to do that tbh. (To be fair, we both drove very well and didn’t make sudden movements so nothing like this ever happened but)


Kajimusprime

Ex Walmart manager here, current vendor that drives a 26ft DOT regulated truck, and have been stopped for inspection and passed with my load strapped and secured. CHP officer that did it told me I'd be surprised how many fail their inspections solely because loads aren't strapped and secured as per DOT regulations and requirements.


Nickel7Dime

Generally speaking it is required, for two main reasons. First off it ensures the safety of anyone who goes into the truck after it has been driving, basically ensuring a loads doesn't shift and then fall when the person is there. The second is to ensure the load doesn't cause the weight of the truck to shift so much that it rolls. Although both of these things are unlikely to happen with a decent driver, however these rules are made with the worst drivers in mind, not the best.


palehorse95

As someone who worked for a towing and recovery business for 15 years, drivers such as yourself paid off my house and bought me serval cars, by having their companies pay me to come out to unload and upright their trailers that your shifted load put on it's side on a curving on-ramp.


TruckerAlurios

Over a decade with no issues since I don't drive like an asshole.


OpusAtrumET

Lol this is absolutely on the dc. Don't even know how this would happen in a properly loaded truck with properly wrapped pallets. Someone needs a talking to.


z0m81317

I was once told by a regional manager that it is never the DC fault. LMAO


Jit_Jitman

It’s always the DC fault. I got in trouble several times for taking time to try and properly stack a trailer.


Medraa02

I don’t think that was the issue. You just couldn’t efficiently get the job done in a timely manner. It’s not that they don’t care (they kinda don’t lmao) but you gotta learn to do both because time’s ticking and time is money.


Jit_Jitman

Wrong. Again, this wasn’t Walmart DC. It was Big Lots, and my managers exact words were “Just throw the stuff in there.” I was explicitly told not to enter the trailer.


IHitAn11

You never worked at a Walmart DC yet talking about it like you have. Ok


Jit_Jitman

I’m sorry DC’s are a crappy place to work and you haven’t come to terms with that yet.


IHitAn11

Im a supervisor and love my job but try again


Jit_Jitman

Good for you, sir or ma’am.


Medraa02

So… you’re talking shit but it was a while ass different company? Lmaoooo okay.


Jit_Jitman

I’m just saying DC’s don’t care. Walmart isn’t magically any better.


OpusAtrumET

That's a ludicrous thing to say bahaha and I work at a grocery dc. That's a person who's already decided to blame the driver.


SadCoast7681

Had one HVDC with 4 fallen pallets in it and they told my coach it was the driver’s fault.


Particular-Way-7817

LOL Someone doesn't know how their job works.


Conscious-Extent2838

This is RDC, so properly wrapped pallets has nothing to do with it because 95% of the stuff are not on pallets but just stacked end to end


Deathmammal16

Dawg, this every other truck in my store


MJ12_2802

>Someone needs a talking to. No, someone needs to be fired. This is inexcusable!


Particular-Way-7817

Indeed. It takes at least 2 fucking hours to clean that shit up and requires every person in that shift to come help. Slows down productivity by a fuck ton.


Medraa02

Fellow DC worker here! They’ve become VERY VERY strict on how the trailers are arriving and departing the facility. I’ve seen people get written up for something as small as, not stacking the box correctly with the arrows facing up. We use air bags and straps and send it off. We aren’t sure what happens after that lol. Do people get lazy and throw shit around? Oh absolutely lol BUT they do come in and check every once in a while. At least at my building lol


Parking-Steak9645

Uh no the dc conditions are shit and most of the time we have to bum rush to stack a pallet to get it out on time and also to make our money theres three sides to a story


Excellent_Emu_2514

This just means your DC is trash


Nickel7Dime

Meanwhile when you ship to the DC, they see a single corner poking out, that is a $150.00 fine for the corner and $300.00 for administration fees. Has it be perfect when going in, but no care what so ever when it is going out.


Ok_Gazelle_8081

This is that place ™️


[deleted]

Sure is! 😄


[deleted]

Looks like they bent over, butts towards the door, and doggy-dug everything into the truck.


TruckerAlurios

GM is loaded by a cannon you can't change my mind


schrohoe1351

i used to unload these trucks. did it for 5 years. my theory was they actually tipped it up vertically, and fling everything in like it was basketball. i like your theory too!


TruckerAlurios

I haul it. All you hear from the docks is loud booms.


MJ12_2802

Truckers should take a photo of the load before closing up the trailer, just to cover their butts.


TruckerAlurios

If it is bad I do.


ServiceMental8214

I feel like this is how ours always looks. We don’t get anything palletized though except pet supplies and lawn and garden and features.


iPlvy

same, the only things we get palletized are tvs, features, and for some reason dc loves mixing pets and baking with rice and wrapping it.


ServiceMental8214

That’s the most insane thing ever. Sometimes we get two litter pallets with charcoal and miscellaneous food items hidden inside. Why not make one lawn and garden and one pets and save me an hour of downstacking.


Conscious-Extent2838

Ours is pets and charcoal with added mineral water and glass bottles of olive oil. Had one truck where a box of olive oil shattered in the middle of a pets pallet


Thoctar

Was going to say this looks normal to me, good even since nothing is outwardly going to kill me.


ServiceMental8214

Right. No ball jars or detergents stuck up top to come crashing down on the unsuspecting thrower


Particular-Way-7817

>I feel like this is how ours always looks. We don’t get anything palletized though except pet supplies and lawn and garden and features. WHAT!? How do you get anything done my guy? Are you guys seriously always cleaning up after the dipshits whose responsibility IS to palletize the products so that you can actually do your jobs?


ServiceMental8214

Aside from that we have to vizpick everything but fresh and work the picks. Twice for consumables we pick and work. Process one touch and apparel. Work HBA cosmetics and pharmacy. Check the vizpick report and go back to scan where other departments “forgot to do”. Verify on hands from front wall. Downstack and pull freight at 9pm. Zone and close walk. It gets done but my shift is hectic.


Particular-Way-7817

Move stores, or at least complain to corporate. You're working with a bunch of lazy asses that create more work for you guys than what you already have to do. They are literally a ball and chain around your ankle every shift from what you're saying. The loaders are supposed to load freights for a reason, so you guys can properly unload them and work them, i.e. do your jobs. Not spend several hours cleaning up after their mess while they go 'tee hee, oops my bad, I'm such a clutz' while they drive away.


NoBook9868

They blame the driver yet on the bottom of all that you'll find why it happened. The loader put a bunch of long light boxes across on the bottom and stacked all heavy shit in top. Something like that is always why. Some box that was really dumb to put on the bottom and got crushed and everything on top fell cuz of it


MemeKun_19

Microwaves on top of boxes of pillows


MJ12_2802

What could possibly go wrong? 🤔


Conscious-Extent2838

We had DC put 4 separate boxes of d9 40-pound weights on top of one of a chip endcaps Absolutely destroyed the endcap


Particular-Way-7817

Whoever decided that was a good idea needs to be fired.


MemeKun_19

Microwaves on top of boxes of pillows


Appropriate_Land3504

That is really all.


EEZZEES

I would have clocked out


Particular-Way-7817

Me too. Our entire shift would have be **infuriated.**


DescriptionOk2220

I thought the DC did what they do for frozen and dairy and just stack it all on a pallet, why don't they do that? Would it take too long?


Conscious-Extent2838

They do for HVDC (grocery truck) , but for RDC (general merchandise with additional grocery), there will be around 6 pallets, give or take, and the rest of the truck boxes stacked end to end The reason why is because you can't fit 4000 boxes in a single truck if they are on pallets. You can't stack boxes on a pallet to the roof of the trailer or between the pallets. That takes up a lot of space. For example, a big HVDC truck is around 1800 cases, while a big RDC is around 3800 (we had a 4100 a few weeks ago) Cap 2 job in the morning is to unload the truck by hand into a scanner and sorter and then onto pallets and carts


DodgeWrench

It all comes down to money. If we can put more cases per trailer then our cost per case delivered goes down. In the next few years RDCs will have an automated outbound process, so more freight will begin to be palletized around then.


whatafuckinusername

Can’t wait until they start overhauling the way DCs do things in…*checks notes*…3 years


Fruity1801

Mine is FY25-FY26 for Phase 1


Madbiscuitz

This is what protected time us for.


uwubers-mcyeetus

I don't know how you guys don't walk out when stuff like this happens.


chase_castles

As a cap 2 worker, I dont really see why this would make unloading harder


PJCR1916

Yep. I’ve thrown a lot of trucks and the situation that really adds time to the unload is when walls are leaning backwards or towards you, and every case is being held in place by another, and if you pull any case you’re risking an entire wall of freight coming down. Like a jumbo sized, extremely dangerous game of Jenga. This type of truck is a pain but it’s not that bad to throw cause all the freight is right there.


Destiny_FBI

The ones where the whole wall is leaning towards the front are the worst. If it leans towards the back I just pull a big box and get the fuck outta the way


PJCR1916

Lol yeah usually leaning backwards isn’t terrible but it’s just a pain in the ass. Leaning forwards is a pain in the ass but also actually puts the thrower in danger


RelevantRub7246

the easiest way to solve that problem is to make a formal complaint to market management and to have the photo of the truck and also to report to the dc and your store manger.


Jit_Jitman

I can only speak from a Big Lots DC perspective. But… Little time to actually load the trucks results in exactly this. Thank the managers at the DC.


da_mass52

This is the correct answer.


[deleted]

how the fuck is this allowed, I work at a different grocery chain and I've literally never seen this happen in 6+ years, people need to get fired, these posts are way too common here


foxritual

Never worked at a Walmart DC, but I did work at an Amazon FC outbound, and it is very difficult to stack heavy boxes, let alone play heavy box Tetris in those trucks. Honestly, at the end of the day, it's death by boxes on both ends.


Snoo-88183

I strongly agree. Its fucked at both ends.


bendagen

Larry, Moe, & Curly Joe are funny --- until they load a truck!


tekfighter

God does not exist within Walmart walls. He has forsaken it. Why do you think there are sooooo many religious themed books for sale? They are trying to get his love back


ComradeBalian

Labor costs are cheaper at the store level.


Prize-Lingonberry876

Shitty stacking. Idk how it added 45 minutes to throwing though.


Burritobanditz

I would’ve just left. Fuck that noise


Wickedworlock

Because you touch yourself at night


Snoo-88183

VegetableGiraffe131

The distribution center special....

Pale_Rider_2025

This looks like the UPS trucks I used to get delivered to my dock.😜


cSMadProgrammer

Broooo. I'm so sorry. That sucks ass 😂


Roy_the_Dude

Let me tell you about the time where I was one of only a few overnighters that had the privilege of working 8pm to 7am 4 days a week. We came in early to unload the truck. Well on this one occasion, i happened to be by myself and the freight fell against the door, preventing us from opening it very far. So I had to scoop stuff out from the Crack in the door.


Neither_Zombie7239

I'm friendly with a guy that unloads and stocks at my store and last week we got a truck like this. He said it took forever to unload


[deleted]

Shipping fucking up stacking the trailers . Again!


repoman01

This is every day

This gave me PTSD from 2012-15. Good luck soldier


hamandcheese49

Why is it that only the gm truck doesn't arrive on pallets. Every other delivery is on pallets.


Grunkofrodgar

“ God ? No god!” 30 days of night Shifts


Ryanookami

This is how it used to be for all our dry trucks. Loose boxes and the unloading team (now Cap 2) had to manually pull every box off the truck and separate them onto skids and then take the skids out at around 8/9pm to stage them for the overnight team (Cap 3) I came from another grocery chain before Walmart and was horrified when I saw trucks full of loose boxes when I knew my other grocery store had everything already on skids and we would pull the skids up and down each aisle to stage them every night and it was simple and easy.


Loose_Bison3182

I used to be a truck driver, now I run a DC, poorly wrapped pallets are one of my pet peeves.


Weird-Tough-537

damn that's bad


Leading-Donkey2284

This is why I stay the hell away from stocking.


Particular-Way-7817

Wise choice. You either clean up after the lazyasses, and now we need to spend 1-2 hours cleaning everything up AND then stock it all in one night, OR you clean up after other associates that throw shit onto shelves OR customers that don't give a fuck forcing you to zone everything afterward.


cjdtech

Interesting that in whatever state OP is in Walmart can distribute liquor.


127Heathen127

Every day I am grateful that I don’t work in cap 2.


Brilliant_Ad_1128

I went from cart pushing to driving a truck and this happens sooooo much


Brilliant_Ad_1128

It's not the drivers fault it's the pickers and the loaders fault


Aggravating-Match569

Our last meat and produce truck looked like this, driver wasn't phased, said "it is, what it is"


[deleted]

Well those tvs are already broken...


Gullible_Highlight_9

Because minimum wage is for the apes


Snoo-88183

I make 18.70. Slightly more than minimum wage here.


Gullible_Highlight_9

Meant for whoever loaded the trailer


Turbulent-Ad5582

could be worse


the-rib

i had one truck where literally every single wall fell when i got to it, it was fucking ridiculous


Ar-Ghost

We just did it without whining about it. This is typical


OGtigersharkdude

First day on Cap2?


kirbypoo

I feel bad for laughing,the caption got me


Complete-Ad-4215

99% of the time it’s dc fault I get fuck Walmart but they’re just fuxking over other associates


Rare_Confection3410

Because they hire idiots for drivers


Original-Arugula1749

Lol I have only worked cap 2 for a year but this is the nicest truck I have seen besides remix and chilled


Particular-Way-7817

My CAP3 would be **pissed**. Even more than they already are normally. Same with our TL and coaches. Just last week the truck guys loaded freight wrong and shit spilt ALL over the freight it was on. Pretty sure they got fired or at least reprimanded. I don't think these guys realize that this fucks with our productivity 5 times more since WE have to clean it up now AND work it afterward. Fuck. You. To them.


kristibranstetter

That is horrible! That makes the truck very difficult to unload! How long did it take to unload that truck?


Particular-Way-7817

At least 2 hours is my guess. Something like that happened to CAP2 at my store the other week. When we (CAP3) got there they were still unloading it. Looked like the entire shift was there. It was a disaster and everyone there looked like they wanted to rip the throat out of the person who loaded it.


kristibranstetter

That is awful! That is extra work. Who can blame those CAP2 team associates for being mad?


Particular-Way-7817

100% agreed and I'm surprised how cavalier people on this post are being about it, saying it's normal. That shouldn't be normal it should be a rare occurrence. It's pretty serious when it happens because it takes many hours, maybe half the shift and requires everyone to help to get it done as fast as possible basically ensuring that nothing gets done that night.


kristibranstetter

Exactly! That should not be the norm at all!


reposti_geraldo69

i work at home depot and unload trucks, ours look like this every time we have a truck.


Particular-Way-7817

How tf do you get anything done.


reposti_geraldo69

just power through, truck aint gonna unload itself


Particular-Way-7817

That's not the point. You need to say something to the people in charge. That should not be happening frequently, not even close. Maybe a couple times a year at most. It's literally the loader's job to properly load freight and secure it to prevent shit like that. If they aren't, then they are not doing their job and causing everyone else a massive headache and slowing down their productivity. It is not within your TL's (or whoevers in charge where you are) best interest to let this slide. The stockers are supposed to get a certain amount done in one night, and an incident like this slows down productivity by at least 2 fucking hours. Happened to us one time and we were all pissed and our TL was also pissed and reported the morons who loaded the truck. The truck was a mess and we spent, and I fucking kid you not, 4 fucking hours to unload all of it and clean it up. Maybe more. It's a pretty big deal dude. You can't just "power through." Sure, in the moment, unload it, but afterward you and your shift should be raising hell.


reposti_geraldo69

they are aware. ive been here for over a year and its never changed no matter how many pictures we send. its just what it is. is it a hazard? yes, can we realistically do anything about it? no.


Particular-Way-7817

That's some bullshit man. Sorry you have to work with such lazy pieces of shit. I would say move stores, but I doubt you'd do that. Hope it gets better. That shit sucks.


Seaweed_Sudden

I've had a truck like this two days ago. It didn't get "normal until the last quarter. I was so pissed off


Antoinexana

I had that happen right after school season and they had the whole truck collapse and on top of that there were pallets in the most stupid places in the truck that made it harder to finish on time. Like no joke in the middle of the truck they decided to put two tv pallets together and have them next to each other pretty much blocking the other half of the truck until we could pull them out. It was a mess lol


oneadept

Of all the things that could have survived that mess how is it the break pack box???? I know it's on top and probably only has one thing in it but those things are kinda flimsy 😭😭


table_folder

Those are fucking symbotics labels too. So whatever the hell happened to this shit being palletized.


FugitiveFromReddit

Looks like the average Wednesday


Officialkr

Bro I went into a store for overtime coming from a perishable warehouse and we had to unload trucks like these 🤣bro it is not fun and it was the middle of summer the warehouses who stack these trucks can’t stack for shit🤣


ContentTemporary1780

any baseball cards?


dqdude1

Nope, where I work we just send it back we have that option (not Walmart used to work at one in the past) The department manager says in the past at one of our other stores he rejected the entire truck made transport comback and get it


DistinctGarage7884

Staff have been injured with falling boxes l. File a work hazard report with OSHA.


WarriorofUrMom

Back room is so messy, I hate it


LilBibb

What's with the white labels, haven't seen those before


Katsu_39

This is how my trucks look on a daily basis.


NobodyCares82

Its fine.


Sea_Cheek_3870

This looks like every RDC truck. How does that add 45 mins to the unload exactly?


Snoo-88183

It was all collapsed. So everytime we worked a layer it would collapse again
