That’s how everyone at my place feels, about me :cry: … :laughing:

Going back to C-Kays one - Ive had this happened to me twice already, got to a drop, paperwork in hand opened the back doors/curtains and then find out that the pallet wasnt even loaded :unamused:

I see you take great care in checking you have the correct load and that it is properly secured then :laughing: :laughing: :laughing:
