I am getting a bit fed up of pulling into a delivery/collection with a 45ft double decker and I seem to be invisible! You think being 16ft high with the company name written in three ft high letters the fork lift drivers would see you! No you get out and 9 times out of 10 you get ignored. Well I have cracked it. Get out wearing your hiviz and no one can see you, get out without your hi viz and within a minute someone will shout at you and give a bollocking but at least they know you are there! How do you get there attention?
I find being cheerful and polite goes a long way.
Did you actually report to an office of your arrival and was polite as F-Reds mentions…?
What you need to do is jump out of the cab and whistle across the yard at one of the forkies who are unloading someone else and be sure to wave your notes at him. This will ensure that the forkie will then alert the other lads to your presence very quickly and within minutes they will all KNOW you are there and need to be tipped asap.
You can be sure that they will then be with you at the very next opportunity 
Well,i would(spolling) of thought, being over 16 ft tall was enough to get you noticed.
Whats your"e nickname . . . lofty?
I’m paid by the hour so love to be ignored.
You do what anyone with a pair of balls would and that’s turn around and drive out after been left for a long time, it wont happen again if you still have a job that is, but then again leave it for the next fool to be treated like you were even if you get paid by the hour, for god sake man stand up for yourself.

Oh you scallywag! 
But you forgot to mention that pointing to your watch and tapping it will hurry the forkie further since he now knows you are in a rush.
Pull into the unloading area-right in everyone’s way, pull the curtains back, take the straps off, leave your manifest/notes/header jammed in the door, jump in the bunk & go to sleep. [emoji42]
Bet you’re unloaded in record time. [emoji6]

Jump naked out your cab and shout out “I’m not putting my clothes back on till one of your unloads me”… 
Do be aware that if the forkies are gay, your words may be misinterpreted and you may need to find a new use for the fifth wheel grease… 
On tippers if I get ignored or nobody knows where I’m meant to tip, I open the tailgate somewhere plausible and I guarantee someone who “didn’t know” two minutes ago will reappear and say “not there mate, in that corner.”
That gumsy bastart at batleys Edinburgh used to play a deafy to you. I was always right in his face when he tried to rip the ■■■■.
I found politeness, reverse psychology or any tactics do not actually change anything if an average is drawn. The type of people you’re dealing with maybe ■■■■■■ off, passed over, under motivated staff who see you as an unwelcome addition to a constantly refilling list of tasks they have to deal with on their target to knocking off hour.
I’m a very polite, friendly, courteous, yet when needed direct to the point sort, but I do not prescribe to the school of theory that says in transport over politeness gets you any further. I think that’s an over egged ideology. It’ doesn’t seem to change much. I always was polite as it is natural to me and I don’t have to work at it, others do. The occasions where I was shall we say, firm - it changed nothing. Brick walls. Do what you will. The results will be the same. Except anger. That’s the one emotion that does illicit a response for the negative. Chose whatever keeps your stress levels lower.
Try reporting to the"dock"office in a civilised manner,it tends to help instead of expecting people to drop everything just to suit you

I met him once at Sher Bros when Batley’s had taken them over. He was trying to show Alam and Co how their system worked. They didn’t seem to be getting on together very well.[emoji3]

I used a similar line on our mill manager a while ago when he was lecturing us in a drivers’ meeting. All our drivers cracked up, regional transport manager, who was sitting next to him, was struggling not to laugh.
For some reason, the mill manager didn’t get the joke.
I always found the “I’ll just leave the paperwork with you, when you’ve decided where you want me give the cab door a knock” used to guarantee a quick turnaround, the gits hate to think of you asleep while they’re busy doing sweet fa at the counter.

If you keep driving a double-decker in there they’re bound to ignore you. Try taking a lorry in. Robert
Some places you get unloaded quick, and at other places you have to wait for your turn, that’s life and I’m paid by the hour! 
But a friendly cheerful greeting goes a long way, and sadly I think a lady at one of my regular drops is hoping for a little more!
