That 1st piccy of the forklift remind me of my time on D.R. Bailey around 97/98.
I was on the european side but the work was drying up by this time so we spent a fair bit of time doing produce to the big supermarket distribution centres.
One evening I was tipping in the Tesco RDC at middleton and due to the nature of the load we had to tip on 2 bays ( +2 &+10) . You had to hand all your paperwork into the +2 office and tip then the idea was they would sort out and process what they required and send it all to the +10 office who would then call you onto a bay.
I was waiting to tip at +10 and empty bays appeared but I wasn’t called. I suspected I’d been forgotten about so went over to make enquiries. I was assured I had’t been missed but miraculously I was told to put it on a bay.
Now this was nearly 10 years ago so these places weren’t as bad as they are now but you were still required to hand in your keys before tipping.
I reversed up and opened the doors and backed onto the bay. Being in a left ■■■■■■ I was the opposite side to the traffic light and noticing that I had the trailer tyre hard against the banana bar I pulled forward to get centred a little better.
As I drew forward I heard a clatter and thought they must be a little enthusiastic and got the ramp down already but when I walked to the rear I found and electric pump truck on the deck and half a dozen warehouse bods screaming at me from the dock.
One of the office numpties appeared and i was taken into the managers office while some jumped up little ■■■■ told me I’d be banned from all Tesco sites and that would put me out of a job or so he reconned. I just sat there quietly while he filled out his stupid little form until I’d finally had enough of his crap when I asked him about his fail safe procedures.
I’m not sure why but he went a funny shade of purple when I pointed out that as I still had my keys in my hand the forky shouldn’t have been attempting to get onto my trailer. I made sure this all went on his form and then politely asked for a copy.
It actually did me and my boss a favour because he put a complaint in about trailer damage and seemed to get his trucks turned round a lot quicker and I didn’t get sent to the poxy place again for a while.
Cheers

I was lucky. I was told to pull off the bay in Basel by my ■■■■ Swiss boss while I still had a fork lift and driver inside uloading the last pallet. It cost me a bottle of Scotch to put that right,
