I appreciate the good advice that was given. I never said I was driving fast or cornering hard. Experience has taught me to take it easy as obviously it’s handier delivering the load when it’s still on the pallet! Just didn’t appreciate the comments describing me as a bit stupid I’m far from that. Will keep pushing the boss for a strap in each lorry
If you are jumping wagons all the time, I’d buy your own. That way you know they are good quality, not completely shagged out and when you’re done for the day, put them in a bag ready for the next wagon you get.

Dont worry this forum is famous for its tough love banter, nothing personal really. Big concern is some overzealous goods in chap whacking the doors open and being faced with a toppling pallet, good for a compo claim though.
As mentioned carrying your own strap and ratchet would be ideal, doesnt have to be a massive 5ton one though.
Next youl be carrying a sleeping bag and night out gear but thats for the future if you fancy some distance work.
So as an update I stroked a few ratchet straps from the warehouse for securing the pallets and have asked that pickers don’t stack too high and wrap well. Plus as a wee bonus I’ve been given one of our new lorries as mine from now on a Volvo fl makes a nice change from nearly popping my shoulder changing gears on the old merc
