You see you actually made an effort there and it all made sense. Still a scattering of spelling errors but good effort, I’ll give you 8/10

Hmmmm, is English not your first language?Edit: I managed to decipher at least one question so it’s only right I answer it. 21, I’ve had 21 jobs, without counting all the different companies during 3 years on agency. Tho only 2 jobs in last 10 years. If being paid large amounts of money to do 7/8 hours work a day driving a new FH16 is me being made a fool of then Christ the boss can make as big a fool of me as his likes!
I missed this, if your doing 7 to 8 hours a day then you have the dream job and on top of that your driving top of the range gear I will take my hat off and bow to you, if your getting a living wage out of that there are not many jobs like that good luck and I hope it lasts for you.

Cheers, you wouldn’t like it though, supermarket work, I have to tip and reload my trailer at every store.

I never said I don’t tip or load, its waiting time I was talking about, I will tip myself anytime if it gets me away and load myself and I worked for Tesco in Ireland for a few years, then Eddie Stobart came in and I left, it was the best job I ever had driving a truck, the work was a doddle and you got paid anything over the hours, great conditions and perks, got a good job now and regular hours and good pay I am very lucky with that
ive been to several places that theres nothing to sign and your just expected to belt about in a electric barrow to load or tip yourself…mulrines orange juice in ballybofey springs to mind,

Now there is a place that last did a H & S assessment when the horse and cart was phased out, complete kip of a place especially trying to get a fridge on the inside bay at the bottom of the hill

God that brings back memory’s, cant believe they still exit
What gets on my moobs is getting to one of these German places and you come and stand by the Marie Celeste that is the goods in window. 20 minutes later the bod turns up and you get a bay.
So you go park on said bay, and Mr Goods In has gone again.
So after another 20 minutes you get your keys swapped for a key for a truck which the last flip flop thought on perpetual motion.
But after all that, you tip. About half an hour for 33 Euros of stuff that could have been delivered on 26 proper pallets, all identical, and it takes them a good hour or so to check off.
Layers X cases X pallets must be so hard to deal with for them.
Sent using smoke and mirrors.
Simple answer to op: You cannot ‘Sue’ anyone as any injury would technically be your own fault as you ‘agree’ to undertake such a task of ‘your own free will’ and volition. Furthermore I suspect any possible claim against your employer would also fail on similar grounds as I doubt few (if any) are correctly trained.
Honestly !

which you didnt want r needed as your a driver,not a warehouse worker,so the question is…who do you sue?I can see why drivers do not want to unload their trailer, but using one of those electric pallet trucks is hardly a challenging exercise given how simple they are to use. I can also see the argument about liability if you use one and a pallet goes over, however.
As for the oft-posted ‘I am a lorry driver not a warehouse worker’ point, all of the contracts of employment I have ever seen include the wording ‘or any other reasonable task that the employer may require’, or similar. If a driver did refuse to use one repeatedly to the point that he or she got sacked, I doubt an employment tribunal would regard using an electric pallet truck to unload a trailer as an unreasonable instruction, for the simple reason that as long as you have been shown how to use one, it is not.
ok,so by that logic,then why dont you go into the back of a container and handball the load off then?
Well, container drivers aren’t expected to get in the back and help handball stuff off, so they don’t. However, should it suddenly become expected and relevant manual handling training carried out by your company, then container drivers wouldn’t have a leg to stand on. It would get a bit tricky at quite a few places though as to whether they have a safe means of accessing the trailer available.
Of course, handball tipping a 40 foot container full of loose boxes is a different ball game to pulling off 26 pallets with an electric pump truck. I’m quite happy to do the latter, but i’d quit if I had to do the former.

All the people who love this have no respect for themselves that’s why the job gets no respect when you have people tipping themselves without any choice AMATEUR’s there glad that someone will let them drive a truck, they will be sweeping the floor after they finish next,
It takes a full day to train and practice what you are taught then you get a cert, look it up, and this ball about the hauler been reckonable is a load of crap, you have a accident on there property THEY are reckonable you would not go on any site if they were not reckonable, and don’t mind this we are not reckonable on a notice its a load of bull, they are reckonable and any solicitor will tell you this.‘Reckonable’ is that a legal term?
Rest of post pretty standard Nightline though, lots of bs telling us we’re amateurs because we get the job done with minimum of fuss. Your idea of self respect is being a pain in the arse everywhere you go so you can convince yourself you’re getting one over ‘the man’. Seen your type in Every. Job. I’ve. Ever. Had…
I agree with switch but i will say you are a ■■■■ your just a driver who has an issue with doing the job.
I would have thought that if a Company is contracted to deliver to a place that is self tip then it is the Company who is responsible to ensure you have the appropriate Mechanical Handling qualifications,and that their Employees are insured accordingly.
Even so, you should if your on “general” be insured for all eventualities by your Employer

I would be a ■■■■ all day and every day and very happy to be one if it meant that I would not be made a fool by tipping myself and feeling like a fool waiting 4 hours for paper work, I will leave that to the amateurs who are thankful that someone will employ them like yourself

To be fair your English is absolutely terrible. But hey, after some thought I deciphered some and answered, see above
Well I’m not from England I’m from Ireland and I cant speak Irish so what I am typing is English so maybe you have the reading problem, I mean it looks fine to me are you sure your reading the right post, commas might be off and full stops but its plan English to me,
but saying that its mostly English over here where’s over there its a free for all so I don’t blame you getting confused about understanding English.
I’m with switch logic on this one, most of your posts make no sense to me, have multiple spelling mistakes and poor use of grammar to the point where it becomes impossible to decipher.
Sorry.
