@@ContrarianCrusade Go make your money doing something productive.

@@tomsreviews238 if you sell drugs you will have repeat customers in about ten minutes

yeah they need to actually pay their forklift operators more than 1$ above minimum wage and do real training.

@@ContrarianCrusade Everyone is not wealthy like you seem to be. I wouldn't buy into a company that allows employees to suffer.

@The Amish Electrician yep, I like there products but they have the worst and most Unknowledgeable employees!

they don't scratch easy, otherwise it would make for some shitty decking. this stuff is suuper slippery against each other

This is what you get when you want a baller deck on a poor man's pocket. You don't buy TREX from HOME DEPOT. Home depot are not professionals....they are salespeople...

It's a garbage company.

@The Amish Electrician is this a French issue?

They suggested that in the beginning but our humble narrator told them he doesn't have the time.

@@adamaniac4385 he's got a job to do.

@@zaodedong9935 True, but they ended up hand offloading anyways .

The driver is paid by the load, not the hour. These clowns gave him a pay cut for the day. They had come up with a near best case solution of calling up their second fork truck. For whatever reason, they decided to waste the driver's time instead.

HD sucks

They were smart enough to think about calling in the second fork, yet still to dumb too actually do so. I'm a fork op too. This was like free tickets to the circus.

I can drive a forklift, famous last words when I used to work in a warehouse haha

@@JacobWinkle 🤜🤣

you gotta start somewhere and most these places barely train you at all or show you anything but "videos on a screen"

🤣

@Forty-Three and Flowin' 😂😂😂😂

An acquaintance of mine owns a HH building centre, he had to repair/replace several employee vehicles after someone had over stacked the decking in the yard. When one of the operators bumped it, it dumped over the fence onto the employee parking lot. No money was made that day! xD

You a sad sob

If they split it with the lift put kickers under wrapped the sides they would've been golden picking up with the lift. Used to do the same thing with 24 ft metal flats when we loaded trucked but we banded them together. We used cranes for the most part but this could've been done

Why didn't they just use both forklifts there was one on the back she truck they should've used both just take both at one time lift it straight up let the truck pull out from under it lower it too the ground with both lifts moved forward an nothing damaged

@@ronaldterry2234 Honestly because it isn't addressed by any OSHA code but is frowned upon by OSHA inspectors. It's a grey area that can result in issues even though I've done it for offloading logs when our tiger cat broke down, it's a very unsafe practice since each operator has to be working very much in tandem.

@@ravenna6543 makes sense 😊

Exactly

Never pick up an unstable load.

Yea that's why proper securement is critical

And you didn't offer them a donut?

I know the feeling

I believe you handled the situation in the correct manner. Some days that’s all you can do.

Now thats a lot of damage

Sometimes you have no choice but to offload by hand, and this is one of those times. I understand time was precious, but sometimes there's no choice but go a bit slower. Not to mention they had like three, or four sets of hands to offload in 5min.

tbf, they probably only offer like $12-$15/hour for these positions, what the hell do they expect for that slave wage?

@@ravenna6543 yeah not to mention who knows what their workload looked like that day, sometimes if its getting close to the end of the day you just want to finish up and go the hell home.

@@ravenna6543 and no extra for forklift

Couldn't care less

@@ravenna6543 can confirm, once shift ends I break sound barrier to time clock.

You would think it would be common sense to keep the forks level when picking up a pallet then tilt it after you pick it up. Ive never used a forklift but that's how i would do it

I have to use a forklift at work now and then, we had to go thru a training session with an instructor from the University who came out to do the class for several of us, and we did the written and tests and were given certification cards. The big issue is the damn mast design at least on the borrowed lift we are using in our temp shops while rebuilding- blocks so much of the view in front it makes it nearly impossible to see where the forks are without a lot of moving around. The other issue is, most of the time we only use the forklift maybe once a month to unload lumber or plywood, and it's whomever happens to be around at the time does it, so one person might not even use the lift for 1,2,3 months, during which time you tend to lose some skills just like police officers say who do range training- if you dont contantly use and train you lose some of the skill, reaction time and forget things. I do pretty well and try to at least use the lift every week to empty the scrap bin, and occasionally load/unload but I don't like unloading a stack of 16' boards off the truck that delivers it which has canvas walls, metal ceiling and some center steel posts, and there's a power pole and mailbox right near by as well as a down slope towards where the truck unloads in the street, which when there's ice and snow I don't do. I had to unload a used Martin sliding table saw the shop bought, it came in a 24' U-Haul and the truck was parked on hard gravel and the machine was to go into the garage of a small bldg we rented for storage. The saw was terrible, wound up removing the sliding table because it off-centered weight a LOT, also, the forks couldnt go in the center of the "box" of the unit because of the sliding table's supports, the unit was also top heavy towards the front left corner. It think it was 2800# and that front left corner had more weight than any other corner. I got it off the truck ok, immediately lowered it to a few inches above the gravel, backed up more, turned towards the garage and moved forward slowly, suddenly the left front wheel sunk into an unseen hollow cavity under the gravel, a chuck hole or whatever it was caved in 4-5 inches. I was glad I had the load only 4-5 inches up as all turned ok other than difficulty getting out of that hole.

THD doesn't pay enough to do stuff the right way.

Your using your brain and making way to much sense, now, stop it!😅

@@jamesp13152 I actually had a manager tell me once, "You sure do think a lot." LOL!!! I told him, "You say that as if it's a bad thing." 😄

Hahaha haha that's even dumber than what they did

🤣🤣🤣🤣 I almost passed out

In the last video, the guy said he was gonna call and tell them not to send the same material since it was already damaged as well. SMH, fuck home depot

Yup. They should have just grabbed the other forklift and placed the siding on a proper shipping base. Yes undoing the bands was a bad idea, unless they were going to hand unload.

Agree. I'm wondering how it was loaded to being with. I hate receiving product that has been improperly shipped.

With u on that one

They sure don't have any care lol, they know the store won't fire them unless they fck up major time, as they need the workers no matter how shitty. This is the quality of employees they get for the money they offer, even the manager ain't trying much to rein them in lol, she is just doing a useless token effort.

Clearly it's not maliciousness or laziness on the part of the employees, it's just ignorance/bad training

😂😂😂🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

We get employees venting to us all the time, like seasoned vets that know the store- products- services- and they are unhappy and are leaving or simply stop caring and just show up for a pay check

Sears, Circuit City, et. al. They ran off their best people. Workers that were so good at their jobs, and had such a good reputation, customers would come in asking for them by name. To upper management, it's a simple issue of payroll expense. New hires are cheaper to pay than a long timer, so they push the experienced long timers out the door, then bring in a newbie at entry level pay. I've overheard these conversations first hand among middle mgt at my last employer (auto parts chain, household word). They were targeting store by store and being rewarded in their yearly bonus.

Almost!

They get paid like $12/h for the driver even less for the helpers and are completely untrained. Its hardly their fault. They work for a mega corporation that barley pays and just cares if the job is "Done" at the end of the day. Cant blame somebody for not knowing what they are doing when they were never trained on what to do and work for a company where figuring it out doesn't get you anything.

Home Depot and other big chains intentionally hire less educated folks because they can exploit their labor.

So we should charge huh

You guys are the epitome of awesome fans ❤️❤️❤️❤️

We wouldn't get involved

Why would he want to take his off the back of his truck???

@@rmbuilder1 especially if we wouldn't touch it during the delivery

@@SaffordDelivery Smart man! Becomes a huge liability on you then if it becomes damaged. Not to mention you’re being paid to transport the material and do curbside delivery. Not being paid to help them load/unload at the distributor! Also in the event of an injury while using your equipment on non-customer property/delivery location, I would imagine it could become an issue of your insurance not covering it by saying you weren’t “authorized” to use your machine there, circling back to the you aren’t paid/contracted to “work” on the distributors property beyond driving your truck in/out of the yard and strapping/in strapping the material. Anything past what your contract requires you to do becomes liability!!!!!

We don't package it They do. Make sure you go watch part 1 down in the description

That's how it should have been delivered.

Not my job to figure that out. They put it on they can get it off.

@@SaffordDelivery Right on,I worked for a steel co for 39 years....no matter what kind of load came in or out,I had to figure out a way to unload and load every truck...retired now,that place can kiss my *ss
