Please open barn doors on loading bays

I really don’t see the point in barn doors, roller shutters work better for me as I’m extremely lazy, saying that I had a rental fridge once that had rollers, backed onto a bay & thought nothing if it, got to the office & the news had already travelled, I was meant to open it a bit so that the ramp could go on, warehouse staff weren’t allowed to open them if the ramp wasn’t on…#sigh

The places I go to request that I keep them closed till they request them to be open

Thetaff2:
Try doing it in a tesco RDC handing in your keys and sitting there for over 20 mins,then having your bay no called out thinking your tipped only for them to ask you to open the doors in a room full of other drivers!! :grimacing:

I have had this before with a shutter door.

I didn’t realise it had a security lock on which needs to be unlocked using a “Secret Method” :wink:

Dipper_Dave:
Tail lifts are fun too:
Reverse to bay, pull forward a gnats nob so tail lift doesn’t scrub on the way down, job done retire to waiting room.
Hour later announcement asking me to walk towards them a bit as I pulled to far forward.
Que sniggers and my sheepish walk of shame back to truck.

Or a load all the way to the back doors and

“Bay 192, you need your first 2 taken off by a forkie, pull forward and one will be with you soon (about 45 mins)”

Multi million pound RDC, and the ramps will not go onto a trailer loaded with 26 / 52 pallets■■?

That’s brilliant, you know what, I’ll probably use that from now on

B L A C K has served me well - It is part of my five-a-day.

I have never dropped a trailer without lowering the legs
first and I always remember my knumber plate - even if
I can’t spell it correctly.
