[QUOTE="cental34, post: 127786, member: 6675"] Unload stands were created out of good intentions, but I find them inefficient and a burden in many cases. Most trailers I can unload easier and faster without them. When using unload stands, you have to take the time to move and adjust them to where you need them, many times you have to do it more than once for the same wall, and you have to take the time to adjust the belt. I find it easier to pick into the wall in the upper middle area, and create a tumbling zone where I can tip over side stacks without damaging anything. This method is looked down upon by the suits, but it works for me. My full time and supervisor never say a thing to me about it. They both know I'm fully aware of what I'm doing. However, if your superiors object, I'd reccomend following their orders. As part of your training, you're taught using an unload stand is the proper method, therefore they have every right to discipline you for not using it. [/QUOTE]
