    I work in the freight industry and I handle the dock pickups basically all day, this kind of crap happens all the time

    Literally people tell me not to scratch the rhino liner all the damn time, it’s annoying

        Usually I show them how far my forklift can place their freight without scooting it (which is never far enough (only when they complain about the potential for scratches)) then mention, “Unfortunately without scooting it you’ll have to load this by hand.”

        Usually this gets them to relent and then I get to show them how tough the lining is by scooting the freight and not damaging anything

        Sometimes though they still don’t want it scooted so they end up having to load it by hand by themselves (I can’t help by hand as it’s a liability thing) which always brings a smile to my face

        Literally today some dingus ended up loading 5000lbs of flooring into their F-550 by hand because they didn’t want the rhino lined bed scratched
