Delivery customer asks how much money to offload his other delivery truck? They're not prepared! pt1 

As a trucker if there's one thing I'll never do is touch another companies trucks or their trailers to avoid the liability

I used to deliver materials for a lumber yard while going to college. Several times I was asked to "do a favor" for a contractor. Each and every time I would reply "No, I can't. It is not my equipment". You see, boss (the owner of the lumber yard) explained to me when I started; the equipment is his and he is responsible for what happens when it is used. So, if I am doing a "favor" and something happens, just who will be held responsible; my boss. So, no, a hundred bucks as a "favor" is not worth that degree of risk.

The worse part is they say you damage something and they go back to your dispatch then your looking for a new job

It’s surprising that a job site like that does not have a material handler or a front end/skid loader with a set of forks. Sounds like poor planning on the lead contractor’s part.

I haul cars. You’re like me, just gotta park wherever you can find a spot. Park and ask questions later.

I like the way your so straight forward and keep your composure all the time great job

Thanks for the trick with lowering onto the tires & shifting. Smart move 💯

Your approach to just being a bit cut throat….it works….just saying “I don’t have the time” gets the guy to just back off…

Why didn't the contractor rent a grade all ? If he knew that other truck was coming.

Hey my guy, I want to commend you on one of the best personality ever. Somehow your channel was in the sugg. category a few days back. I've been in corporate America many yrs and managed 64 at a time and you have just enough professionalism and humor comes when needed. Everyone should try a lol better. Thanks for being you!

Smart guy, delivering a truckload and not making sure they have something on site to unload him. 😂

Also you want to watch how close you get to a basement wall. You can push it over just by traveling with a heavy load near it.

If your going to be a contractor rent or buy equipment to do the job .I would touch another's load so your not in the middle in case something is damaged.

I delivered moulding to home depot's in yonkers, the Bronx, queens Brooklyn , long island and Staten island for 3 years, 4-6 stops five days a week. Once you get to know the managers and forklift operators they were great to work with. Mine were all night deliveries with 2 deliveries between 5 and 7,always tried to get done before they had to load the store trucks, now I get why they were always in such a hurry

If you told him a couple of hundred bucks, I’m pretty sure he would’ve thought you were crazy.

I don’t know $200? I’ll tell my dispatcher there’s an fender bender stuck in traffic delay about an hour!! 😂 call the wife “what you want for dinner”

I love your videos. Thanks for taking us on the road with you. The first hand experience is nice. And my day is great.

Contractors are all like that, and he would would have paid $20 at the most to unload that other truck. They're also good at saying, "There are men out at the job site to unload." When you get there, there is no one and no equipment. This is commonly done to smaller companies, the contractor expects the driver, and if he has a helper, to hand unload and stack. Bigger companies like Home Depot have "curbside service only" polices.

What do you mean, the money isn't worth the time?????your working. The moment you click in your day is already shot. Make that money kid. Your old lady will appreciate you

I like the way you always seat belt in before operating, when I was in ESU, I had a couple of jobs where the fork lifts tipped over w the operator not belted in, he fell out first before the machine fell on him...was not pretty

Someone with integrity, safety conscious and a nice guy, I hope your boss appreciates you. Hint- $$$$$

Brother never say no, just ask 10x the price and then take the rest of the week off, lol

All the job sights that size that I have delivered to the contractor always rents a bone to unload trucks and makes it much easier to move material around the job sight as needed.

He could have started out with a fair amount that would compensate for the time and risk you're taking . Risk is double . How heavy was his load ? It looked like 1000 kg + packages

You just have to ask yourself one question are you a) an independent contractor/truck driver or b) do you work for the lumber yard. If A then no problem your insurance will cover your liability and I would charge them either cash with a receipt or I would be happy to invoice you (min $200). If B then there is ZERO chance of me doing that because insurance won't cover any accident making me liable for everything and if employer finds out I can lose my job so its not worth it.

Too much liability unloading someone's elses stuff .

“Let’s get this road on the show” 😅 I’ve never heard it said that way 🥴

How is that your problem that they weren't prepared to unload the other truck? Could have liabilities possibly.

Unload the other truck, and then expect claims for damaged materials.

I learned a long time ago, dry box / no touch ONLY / on the CLOCK. PERIOD. It may pay less, but in the long run its well worth it.

That's a new one "Let's get this road on the show" 😆 love your vids man 💯

I built my house .with me n dad...pain in the ass...but saved lots of money...i bought a used tractor with front end loader with forks...so i cud do all the heavy lifting...instead of driving around in his 90 thousand dollar truck...drive a 5 thousand dollar truck n buy a tractor fork lift etc....dont count on others count on urself...

You weren't very friendly with this guy. He simply asked you how much. You were quite cold with him.

with all the material on site would make everything easier for everyone,by renting a 4wd site forklift.i feel bad for the driver.with no forklift on his truck,i would have called the customer first,to see how the product is gonna be offloaded.a quick call and you know were your at,and where to go from there.

A foolish delivery man, he couldnt be working for me...

Liability issues on other truck to unload, tell him to call them and pay to have it unloaded, you can not afford his small cash payment. You are professional and do a great job on all loads.

Help the guy out with written consent, ur a great driver

Don't say "i don't have time", because that sounds like a flexible issue that can be negotiated. Just be straight, and say..."it's a liability issue. My insurance carrier only covers me for handling the material I haul!" And he should know that. I hate lifelong Contractors who try to cut corners and get subs to do sketchy stuff to save them time or money when they know full well it's wrong.

That other trucker might be looking for a moffet now

I would do it if it took only 15 minutes. But it's clearly up to the person.

i love watchiing this guy but it is funny he tells the helper he had and was training you take the straps off towards the rear first and now hes not doing it hahahha

Probably 400 dollars to the customer to have the Moffett on the job site to begin with ..

I can't even get the SeaDoo guys to move one of their own units on a multi stop load, and this guy want's you to unload a trailer that you have NO affiliation with at all??

Yeah if you unload the other truck and something goes wrong... What happens then?

Such a great attitude & informative ! So enjoy your vlogs! 👏🏻👏🏻

I know your job is tough to find a good drop location but it's also illegal to block a stop sign. VERY dangerous for everyone.

I don’t know a damn thing about driving trucks, or a forklift, to save my life. But that quick turn you did at the end to move the straps…like a boss. Like a boss. Lol

truck driver could have helped make it faster by moving truck back and forth + turning around as you are using forklift, just setting stuff on ground curbside to get it off truck. could have set a record working in sync... 👌

I had a friend who was a photographer and did pictures for Bruckners, anyway the guy who owns the company asks how much and out of the "blue" he said 1000 dollars, the owner wrote him a check for a 1000 dollars. So if he asks, say 100 thousand dollars and see what they say

Omg bro love this funny shit my new favorite channel keep up the good work stay safe and godbless you and thank you for what you do

When calling for delivery they will ask if you have the means ie a loader on site for the truck, if not they will send out someone like you w a forklift someone goofed on the earlier truck

I ask this because I don't know how this works. Are you an independent contractor? I wouldn't think that HD would want you unloading another truck if you are a company driver.

Not your problem that should have been all figured out he knew he had delivery customer should have had equipment there to unload it no your problem kinda sucks to be him but it is what it is

Saying "No" is always tough'. Good job!

only in america would a guy turn down 200.00 tax free cash using company equip

That contractor should have rented a boom forklift with the bigger tires on it

Theres always time i would charge 300

I like your content. Unrelated observation....you sound like John C Reilly.

Nowdays you can't take chances, people are sue crazy.

Who can't appreciate not wanting to extend a ten hour work day?

At the beginning: is this the same guy? Lol

Lack of planning by a contractor or owner is not your problem. Your employer owns your truck and forktruck, and you cannot use it for anything not authorized by him. Why risk getting fired for a couple hundred bucks?

You sure pass up alot of side money! Come on man! Gotta make that coin my brother! When you have a forklift you are the king of any job site!💪👍Just have a stack of waiver forms in your truck and have people sign off your liability.

How much to unload that truck too? Me: "About 1200." Him: "No man that's too much!" Me: "I'll knock 200 off if I can do it after I do this truck?" Him: "You got yourself a deal."

do they have telehandlers in the US? -Im not sure if a skid steer is the same thing or not they are pretty common in the UK in the UK a telehander is pretty common on building sites -they can lift a pallet of plasterboard (drywall) up to the 2nd or even 3rd floor

They should have planned better they know they should have rented a forklift

Just tell then to unload a different truck besides your own it's 500 an hour with a minimum of 2 hours pay. Makes them think about doing their own job and having proper equipment

$1,000 cash.

I used to drive forklifts. Side shifts are the shit.

That wall looks familiar. That looks like it's off 169 in Canterbury! Haven't been by there in awhile....

Let's get this road on the show : )

You can't just park at an intersection der.

How can you offload at a stop sign?

I may be wrong but if you unload another truck and there is damaged material doesn’t that make YOU liable for it since the other truck is not your companies truck.

You NEVER unload another truck,any damadge to truck OR goods is coming straight out of your pocket but you already know that so..

Id never turn cash in hand down. Idc how late i was. Esp if i called the next delivery and asked if they cared if i was maybe n hour late. If it was all good, id do it.

Just remember someday if your in a jam expect no help aswell because they're too busy

What is the maximum load your forklift will carry ? Also , can you extend the width of your forks ?

Bro started the video on crack

There's still Boise Cascade?? I thought Nine Dragons (the chinese company) bought out all Boise plant's? Or, was that just Maine?? The Rumford ME. mill is ND now & a couple others...

I have taken money from other otr drivers to back their truck into a tight truck I always tell them you'll be broke if you don't learn your backing skills we were all new drivers at one time practice practice practice and when in doubt DONT

I honestly think any truck that delivers lumber or things like that need to have a forklift on it

You work primarily in ct? That's where I'm from so funny I found your videos

The project manager should be offloading the truck. Not another guy bringing material lol

Ok, as a general consumer I always get my own lumber and load it on my truck or trailer, so I've never had anything delivered. I'm guessing there's a delivery fee? Are drivers tipped as well? Most of my purchases are home dePot or manerds (which i always forget to send in the 10% mail in thing).

Working construction days like this sucks someone higher up fucked up trackhoe leaking hydraulic fluid the one thing thing that would work wont work now. You were the one hope they had they were just having a Monday

Man that free money come on help a brother out smh 🤦mabey you just work slow 🐌

They got a tracked 360 there that could probably unload that other truck with some straps.

That contractor really dropped the ball, no lift for that fat ass truck. Even if I had the time I dont think I would bother with a whole truck. Maybe if it was just a few units or so

Maybe you could have taken a couple of pallets of for him ? !

Lisbon?! You must be a Mainer lol hello from a framer in NH!! East coast driver's treat us pretty good over here and visa versa

Why'd you start with the middle bunk?

Id do it, but it wouldnt be cheap.

Your pay must be pretty good just curious

I would've done it and recorded the same way you do 🙅. But give him a big price as well

You in Stanford, ct? You said Willington so I’m assuming you’re here in CT.. we are in Mansfield

Even if I had the time no way in hell would I move a single piece off the other truck not my load and I'm not liable

I can’t see why you wouldn’t want to do another guys job for him for gas money... 😳

You know the road is narrow when they can’t afford the space to paint down 2 yellow lines.

There he is happy guy.
