[QUOTE="Marne Vet, post: 1242257, member: 51053"] Happens [here] daily. Tons of stuff is left on the belt, or on the irreg pallets. Sups or seasonal drivers will load it up on rentals, or whatever package car is available, and then shuttle it out to the driver(s). Another scenario is that you'll get new drivers that are blown-out, can't get it done, so they'll send drivers to help them. They'll meet anywhere they can get a few package cars together to unload/load stops. Parking lots are usually the best spots. Easier to back-up to another driver etc. I don't think anyone here was defending how they were moving the packages. There is no reason to toss them onto the ground like that. That driver is an idiot. However, a pile like that in any parking lot isn't hurting the packages, and we see that stuff all the time. Even on a wet ground. I didn't see a huge "puddle" like the News lady was trying to imply. I saw a wet ground. Big deal. Packages get soaked when it's raining and we can't even put a service cross on them. One side getting damp isn't gonna ruin a package. Lets just make that very clear to people right now. Cardboard is pretty resilient. Getting wet won't automatically destroy what's inside, which is also probably in plastic.
