Put the trailer brake on when you drop a trailer.

I’ve watched shunters with my own eyes pull the trailer regardless with the wheels locked!
Leave the trailer doors shut.

We have to do that anyway,if its not on the shunter will be on the two way like a shot and will have your pants down,they are like sharks in hivis vests waiting to take a chunk,you can allways see them on the look out to see if anybody is doing remotely wrong,it makes you on edge ,smarmy ■■■■■

They kick up a stink and say you was not paying attention,when you took the number plate off ,cant win
take 18 shunts when they are trying to get past

Our shunters are sound and the complete opposite by the sound of things, there’s been the odd mishap covered up in the past by them.

if you did that you would end up with a driver trainer all week seeing if you are up to speed,and the bays are set out so when you start reversing theres a queue a mile long and a bigger crowd than old trafford watching ,you would be the laughing stock

They would think nothing of getting a bloke the bullet bald bloke, in fact they have ,but they havent if you get my drift
Ours hit a barrier whilst reversing & thought no one saw him-I did, I get no zb off him anymore
cant see the point in stooping to their level if their that bad.
I never had a problem when shunting except when drivers didn’t fuel the fridge up, always caught the usual ones before they bayed or parked up that would ■■■■ drivers off …
Carry a few bolt seals with you. A few select sealed back doors can create havoc. I did it at Asda a few times.
When I was new and inexperienced only a few months ago the shunters used to try and catch me out by dropping the trailers way to high for the unit so I would miss the pin and another one they did was push the handle on my 5th wheel in so that the next morning when I went to hitch up a trailer I would think it was connected and then end up driving off and dropping a fully loaded trailer on its nose.
Luckily I had the cop on to realise when the trailers were to high and I always do the tug test after I go in under a trailer.
Horrible bunch of ■■■■ but i just have to laugh at how sad they were and i will be keeping an eye on this thread because I think payback is in order
A kipper hidden near the heater
Struggling to remember the last arsey shunter i met, vast majority of 'em are decent blokes, good at their jobs but they don’t suffer fools gladly.
To be fair when I am delivering to our depot at Landrover Jag Halewwood I have a good bit of banter with the shunters in the holding area.
The shunters at my place sound a bit similar to the op’s, there’s a couple who are decent but the rest are tossers, I had a run in with one a few days ago, so now I’ve started dropping my trailer on a bay near the one they ask for but never on the one they ask for, it’s annoyed a couple of them already there’s only 172 bays to choose from

Thats shocking and very dangerous ,ive just thought of one,the bays at work have them black canopys round them what stick out of the bay about 2 foot,if you hit the buffers but pull forward a good few inches ,hey presto the lip will miss the trailer,only thing is it needs a getting out to all drivers ,i dont think just my trailer everyday will go unknowticed,back to the drawing board
