Why do trailers lean back?

What is the loading process or laziness that causes this bull? Whole 53' trailer was like that.

It is what it is.

Rushing to keep up with the flow/not taking pride in their work.

Somebody is seriously going to whine about that?

It actually does make it harder to unload. It's easier when stuff is just thrown in there carelessly, even.

Git loading! Gotta rush. This ain't no FedEx! Let the next sucker worry about it.

first off, that's not leaning back, that's leaning forward, the complete opposite. and isn't it obvious? basically all vehicles on the road typically decelerate quicker than they speed up, especially relatively slow vehicles like tractor trailers.

If it was loaded per the methods it wouldn't look like that. I think that's what he takes issue with.

Lol, methods. Feeder has to keep schedule, dump it in there!

Nope! Backload it and run it again. I’ll wait.

Don’t wanna cause a stir but this trailer looks good compared to what I had to setup earlier. Some of the loads lately have been a mess.
Can’t believe they call me in early to deal with this.

What's the problem----pull a few pkgs out of the center and wait for the avalanche.

That’s simply not true, unless you are loading a truck with boxes that are dimensionally the same size. Any air gap in or inbetween a wall WILL be filled by the box behind it

Good luck. Work as directed.

I have no say-so in how the operation is ran. My job is to be there ready to go when the sup decides to seal it up. If they decide to backload it, which they won’t unless they find out the FHWA is expired on the trailer, then it’s my job to wait.

A good loader can pack it tight enough to avoid this kind of situation. A few gaps here and there won't result in multiple walls leaning back like in the picture. They left a huge void in front.

1. It's heavier than normal, which causes packages to break open when they hit the floor.
2. I don't want to break customer products as that's how we make our money. If more people took pride in their work, the trailer wouldn't be leaning in the first place.

Even a good loader can’t fill in every gap, over 52 feet it adds up

Yes, and most trailers have been that way since UPS began. Get over it.

Too much wasted space.
Doesn't anyone use the interlock methods anymore ?
