Without the use of said glue? You arent going to live this down for a good while!

Thread ‘Oh lord why me’…bloody funny.
I recently delivered into a site… It was a site of a company mentioned above…
I drove in was looking around to see if I could spot a sign or a door marked “Goods In” and a guy in the yard shouts “Bay 1 mate” so onto bay one I went. I went into the warehouse, having already been told by other drivers that we only bring the milk TET’s to the back of the trailer, and the warehouse staff take them off you. I had a young chap inform me that this is a self tip site and he would like the TET’s placed over there…
I was now into my 13th hour, tired, knackered, hungry ect and I had a full trailer to unload 
so I started unloading one at a time taking my time, got about 12 of them off, then I saw the guy who directed me onto bay one, he was having a word with the youngster who told me to tip myself… I overheard part of the conversation “If you help him, he will be done quicker!!! We need that bay!!!”
All of a sudden I had 5 or 6 helpers…

I reserve my right to maintain a diplomatic silence on that one Rob.
Seems that all the places where they ask a driver to assist,has now done away with the assistant, and expects the driver to do the unloading, for a pair of poxy gloves…is that the way this industry is going now ? sorry but i have always believed that a driver is a driver. Over the years i have answered many advertisements for Drivers wanted blah, blah…so when i get called for an interview, they politely told me that I would be required to unload myself at some premises, but your ad says drivers wanted, not driver unloaders…sorry see ya later… now i dont mind unloading if the moneys good, but when theyre offering a fair rate for a driver and not over and above the average that gets my back up, and i have refused to get in the back of trailers on numerous occasions…unless they offer me some incentive.
One of the reasons i started international work, where every company supplied warehouse staff, and expected a driver to wait in the canteen…

I delivered metal frames to a site near Birmingham. Reverse onto the bay, they open the doors, hook two cables onto the frame, drag it out. Done in less than 5 mins.

Sometimes I have had to remind them that I was booked as driver, not a waiter
- I would rather load or tip myself on some occasions than just hang around waiting
