The thing is, the shipper in the video has exhausted 50% of the space on the outside of their property by filling it with merchandise. When by their own policy the back of the store is our delivery loading and unloading area. It is supposed to be left clear and free of anything that isn't supposed to be getting loaded. That's their policy! When the back of the store filled up with product including the delivery area, I came up with alternative parking area which is around the corner from the backside of the building as a compromise to them "being short staffed" and having to much product being the building. Now beyond that is the parking lot and then the far side of the store is the dryvan dock receiving area and garden. They exhausted OUR solutions. I already knew they were going to try to escalate because when I called dispatch and told them that there was no room to get loaded dispatch called the store and asked what was going on to which then they got the reply that the delivery guy(me) was lying! Considering we are supposed to have adequate space on both sides to get loaded at the same time and their lack of staff means nothing to us. This company literally paid employees to stay home if they chose to be. That's why they were understaffed during the time masks were in full effect

The contention between drivers and the store... Glad I don't deal with that shit anymore. You can tell the employees and even managers are dying and you're giving them grief on top of all the nonsense dealing with customers and corporate that goes on within the walls. They don't have much control at all over the product that comes to their building and given the amount of crap sitting outside it's likely that they're designated as a primary fulfillment location which makes it even worse. They've been cursed with a smaller drive too, should be able to fit 4 bunks of wood and still have room before they hit the line plus the drive wide enough to unload a truck from both sides. Give them some grace and yourself too. Some nameless corporate guys and divisional folks who're pulling $200k+ a year are signing off on these decisions that make everyone's job harder.

@396375a, but that's part of the problem! The disgusting thing is that it's in near everything. Just the lack of care and concern. It's as if nothing really matters so long as "some amount of $$$ is being made"... I remember all of being escorted out of an office for suggesting that I look for methods of improvement in how things operate, efficiency which cuts waste and costs, morale of employees which affects the quality of products/services and customer satisfaction. None of these things seemed to matter so long as, "WHAT WE'RE DOING NOW WORKS!!!" It didn't matter that it didn't work well, that it didn't benefit everyone and there was no initiative to strive for better than "just status quo". I've never worked in the delivery business but had a family member who did. It was a hell of a mess whether he was making local deliveries day-to-day, courier or traveling across the country with various product loads. As for this store, I couldn't believe there was such a small area for staging of merchandise to be loaded/unloaded. I mean that small drive looked like the service area of an average strip mall here. All you'd find back there is a line of employee parking spaces and the dumpsters... Unbelievable that this was nearly the equivalent.

Something I've learned over the years... Whenever someone says they're upset about you recording, it's fairly safe to assume they are a sketchy mofo who does not want to get caught up in a lie.

I get both sides of the issue. But at the same time, how is it the store's fault that customer deliveries get delayed for one reason or another or the store just gets slammed with a number of delivery requests and there is no way to clear out all the stock before more delivery requests are made. If this store is in a high construction area, they need separate lot just to stage the outgoing deliveries. This back area probably should be just for delivery of new product, not for outgoing orders. This is when as a driver, you just tell your boss that the setup isn't practical for both side loading and you probably can only pick up half the load.

Per protocol were supposed to give them a call ahead which we did we told them the exact time when we would be out there after clocking in which they do get the alert that we were out there per protocol were supposed to call dispatch and let them know when we've been out there for about 10 minutes

Store Managers and Assistants used to get demoted when the product got all over back and the Fire Marshall showed up to write fines. The regional managers used to drive the back and call all managers to discuss the overflow of product on a regular bases. You need to manage the product and not let the product manage.

I was going to say something about fire safety, but you did it already! 😂

Went through the same crap at Lowes trying to get into the loading dock. I feel your pain.

I've done their store deliveries before where I have to drop the loaded trailer, pull the empty trailer out of the dock, drop it, and then put the loaded trailer in the same dock door. There are times when that is almost impossible because they have so much merchandise stacked in the way.

Documentation is where it’s at. I once got a manager fired from a manufacturing company by documenting her actions. It’s well worth it to CYA.

This is why I'm involved with flatbed deliveries at my current employers. If the load pullers aren't making the load safe, I have them make it safe like anything above 10ft in length for lumber gets 3 bands minimum, composite deck boards get 5 minimum for 12 and 16ft, etc. Plus I keep the area clean and work with my drivers to help them as much as I can. That "manager" shouldn't be in that position at all.

I’m glad when I use to work for Home Depot for contract delivery the store already new what we wanted done and had everything secure but couple time on the A-frame with windows we had to tell the store it won’t fit and they had to fix it or put it in the box truck.

I was in retail management in the building supply industry for 27 years. Started as showroom manager, for a store in a multi store company. Retired as General manager for the company. If I had I store manager that told a delivery driver to take an unsafe load he would have been pulled from that position and sent back for retraining. If he didn’t like that he would be terminated. Simple as that. Getting a delivery out to a customer isn’t worth killing some one.

That is a lot of merch and it's not even high stacked. That makes it very easy to steal merchandise. The store manager should know better followed by their 2nd in charge which is the operation manager, then the merch manager and the dept. supervisor. Shame on all of them.

The driver is being a bit confrontational. In truth, Home Depot isn't going anywhere. They have deep pockets, and despite the Class A driver shortages, he can be replaced. The fastest way to being bumped from the property (for good) will be more discussion about liability. Managers are not going to debate you about liability in the back parking lot. Be a partner; not an adversary. Yes, it works both ways but clearly they are doing about the best they can.

You wanted things to be staged on the side of the building if that were you were going to be loaded. While that seems like a reasonable request logically, that will never happen practically. That’s just the nature of the beast that is retail management. You also seemed to be upset about being loaded in a timely manner, but you were being loaded actively, and i didn’t get the impression you had to wait an overly long time for loading to start. As for the way things are loaded on your truck, you’re the driver, you make the call to accept it or not. That I agree with. However if you say no, and they turn around and also say no that’s not how we do it then they’ll just have someone else do it. You can’t dictate anything beyond the sides of your truck. Ultimately I think the dude at the store is in a crappy situation and trying to do what he can. You were being a bit of a ken at times, which I don’t judge you for we all have those days. I just feel you could have done better with the interaction. The employee probably tried at first but real quick realized you just were just gonna be that guy and ended up with I don’t get paid enough to care anymore about this. Sorry about writing out so much, if I were a better writer with more time I would have wrote less

Yeah, just keep putting up with the BS.

So forklift cannot back out after loading trailer without banging into a pallet loaded with lumber. When he pushes the loaded pallet with the rear of the forklift to get out, he then does not move the said pallet out of the way . There was plenty of space to do so.

Yeah I’m happy you can remain so calm. It’s funny when you have experience and people still think they know what they know, so what ever you know doesn’t matter compared to what they think. That manager was a prick. What a mess he made for himself 😂🤣🤣

Damn Ken…! When you’re done crying could you get in your truck pull forward a little bit so they can get another skid on ya. Just like every delivery not every pick up is perfect and goes as hoped.

Sounds like you really hate this job and maybe need to find a different path

Good for you for standing your ground 👍😏

There's more HD shopping carts (Table 6+, H 6+ and push carts 4+) in the back store than the front probably. I bet there's a lot more in the lumber department lol

Home depot..... ya go figure. The bigger the company, the more the arrogance. And as for asking you to stop recording??? Wow! Not trying to hide anything there. Nope. Not at all. Any other companies out there looking for drivers in your area?

@@moebartlet9659 "Efficiency Expert" Riddle us this.... 4-5 different store locations in a day required to pick up from. Each location is supposed to have all orders ready(picked pulled wrapped banded 100%) by 10:00 p.m. the night before. Worst case scenario 6:00 a.m. the morning of the day that the orders are supposed to go out. Not including the date or weeks in advance the customer places the order. We have hours of operation between 6:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. and on any given day there are orders that aren't ready and then we are required to wait 29 minutes plus 1 minute per pallet space that is reserved. So it's a hurry up and wait kind of game. Each store delay does not pay us anything worth being called "detention pay" And they still expect us to go to other locations and pick up their orders and deliver in a timely manner Even with the order readiness at the previous location not being 100%. We are also required to give each location a half an hour call ahead prior to arrival and then when we show up that's when they want to start looking for orders and figuring the things out not counting the time that it took for us to drive and waste our fuel to go all the way there for nothing to be ready. THIS is only the surface. "Efficiency expert" We need a full detailed report. We will wait.

As a driver I work with them. If I need to move for them to load it or off load it I will move.

I like how it would literally take them 3 minutes to make a little space at the left of the truck but they prefer to work in tight spaces.

It would have ended much different if you had not been recording. Great job.

Isn't it amazing how when someone gets called out on their bs they try and flip the script on you? That store is a disaster and embarrassment. I hope HD corporate sees these videos and replaces the entire "management team" as clearly they are grossly incompetent and far from being capable of being managers.

Dope shirt!

We deal with this situation every day on the jobsite. Fork lift backs up with load to curb, truck drives forward and lines up to load. Fork places load on truck. Done, no drama. You would already be strapped down and rolling.

Most drivers I have worked with are a lot more understanding than this guy and will work around a small issue like this. I would tell you to fuck off and find a driver who works with my company, not against! Everyone is just trying to do their jobs with what they have!

Funny enough a year or so ago I got in trouble when as an OFA that came in opening hours I’d spend the first 4h+ of my shift fixing orders to make sure you guys could take them as the closing crew didn’t secure merchandise properly.

I find that when I’m courteous and respectful, they are too and we work together to get things done. Nowadays, everyone’s so sensitive and in their feelings over everything and looking for someone to criticize, blame verse. Division propaganda is effective, damnit.

I have dealt with 100's of drivers over the years I have spent working in receiving. Usually when a driver would call the store or Corp after being there for just 10 minutes, we would call dispatch to not send them again. I always try to work with drivers who are late/early for their appointment, and we expect the same from our drivers. Why wouldn't you develop an amicable relationship, a little give and take, with the store(s) you deliver for? Most of your other complaints are valid although.

I know this may be a super late response but whatever. I work at Home Depot out in the garden section. Our store and our back lots are super small and makes unloading trucks a nightmare with those forklifts. The managers make sure that there is a clear path through the unloading zones in order for everything to go smoothly. Unfortunately here, this is most likely due to the terrible management at this store. There is plenty of room to load and unload trucks if it wasn't for the merch laying all over the lot. There is no organization anywhere which is clearly an issue here.

The Depot has forklifts doesn’t matter where you put the load for now as long as it’s not blocking the truck going and coming.

That's funny. I'm a froklift operator and it goes very well with truck drivers. Except one who stay in his cabin and only gets down to ask if it's loaded. LOL. It always went well, even drivers not from our company. Djeez we are in saling the same boat. We help each other when loading or unloading. And we stack stuf at least twice the height I see on your video along the sidewalk. Sometimes 3 times higher.
