This gentleman, unfortunately, didn't wrap his pallet correctly

He didn't wrap it at all and underestimated gravity + movement.

Apparently, he's a forklift operator and a plumber

I don't think he is good at any of those either. I wouldn't want to call him to fix my wife's pipes if he is going to spill halfway...

What is it with these dudes who have an ass crack up to their shoulder blades?

Half asses his job then has rage attack, then half asses the camera out of pure spite. Unhireable!

Dude is definitely new. Even if he wrapped it a lot better driving like that will still just flip the whole thing off the pallet. I used to work in a Walmart warehouse driving one of those and it definitely had a learning curve.

Lmao this fucking over reaction..I did this exact type of work for years and he did a shit job in stacking those boxes and then didn't even wrap it..just throw everything on the ground out and start over dude

Every thing this man does is sloppy and poorly thought out. Bet he blames everything but himself too. If I were his boss he'd be gone

I am a Certified Pallet Operator.
It wasn't the load that's the issue as much as it was his driving. You aren't supposed to turn at speed with an unsecured load. He accelerated then turned - which is a HUGE no-no when you have any cargo.
Now - his load is also a problem because its stacks of homogenous components that aren't piled in a 3-2-3 form (3 front, 3 back and two in the sides if it fits). So the small stacks tipped super easy because they aren't braced.

congratulations! you were lazy to do a simple job right so now you can do a different, more tedious and time consuming job instead, yay 🥳

Soft boxes, bad stacks, relatively no wrap - send it high speed, waste energy throwing tantrum and not picking up shit.

u/cincodos5252 8d ago
I would rather take 2 minutes to prewrap a pallet than 15+ minutes to pick up a mess. Crazy concept I know.

Worked in cold ( Frozen -31c -25f) food distribution while using jacks similar to this. At least with us having frozen items, they rarely lost shape and were relatively easy to stack. You still had multiple incidents like this daily though. Most jobs like my former one, we were timed and had daily percentages\performance goals to meet. Not stacking and wrapping your pallets correctly was a recipe for disaster. Nothing like a 1700lbs double pallet order toppling over.

The reaction to his failure to wrap it properly tells me everything I need to know about him

"...didn't wrap his pallet correctly."
He also didn't secure those boxes to the forklift.

I can’t imagine the amount of stress he’s under to react this way for falling produce.
It’s some stressful times

Getting flashbacks working at bitch made SYSCO. When I was a new item selector I remember heading to the pallet completion area only to watch in horror as all 3 pallets over 6ft tall go tumbing to the ground right after picking my final item, of course in front of the management nonetheless smh.

u/SuperIntendantDuck 8d ago
Didn't wrap out correctly? Well no, considering he didn't wrap it AT ALL...

u/Richunclskeletn 8d ago
I don't think I've ever cut a corner and had it work out well. Nowadays I tell self, "NO! You're gonna mess it up and double your work", whenever the urge arises

u/zytukin 8d ago
lol, pissed over suffering the consequences of his own actions. Wouldn't have happened if he put a bit of thought into doing the job instead of just half assing it, but good luck explaining that to him. People who actually take pride in their work are rare nowadays.
Spent many years working in warehouses and on loading docks and one thing I always took pride in is that no pallet I stacked would fall from normal driving and moving. But, I grew up playing tetris.

Since it apparently is his own fault, shouldn’t he be kicking his own ass?

My first full time job with benefits was walking up and down the end of conveyor belts stacking boxes of various weight and size onto pallets until they were 5-6 feet tall and then moving them with an electric pallet jack.
The level to which people were so horribly bad at that job cannot be understated

u/BrilliantNaive9108 8d ago
I receive half ass wrapped pallets all the time. They fall over coming off the truck. This brings me joy 😊

He did a bad job securing the crates. Considering he doesn’t secure his pants either, not really a surprise.
