U need to keep load locks and straps. Its your responsibility to secure the load remember that. Also just sometimes you got take your time on turns. Always check load b4 leaving the shipper.
Is it the drivers responsibility to secure the load or the shipper? The drivers contract would specify. My feeling is if Chris is the shipper than it’s his responsibility. Chris specified he doesn’t know what the loads are or secure them. I would say this is a learned experience for Chris where from now on he can talk with the loaders or packers while picking up the loads that there not gonna be damaged. Cool videos Chris.
Liability comes down to the the loaders right? But they can report that they're loading is good, can't they? I thought they had a guy on site to say "Yeah it's good, check" and then it's their word against yours. I did brokering for TQL on 8,000 cross country loads that had three seals. It was intense when it came to procedure. We had some damaged goods once, we weren't too hard on the driver because these loading facilities can be extremely dubious.
From my experience (10years otr), it is always the drivers responsibility to verify load security before leaving shipper. However shippers regularly rely on truckers not checking the load, always check the load.
It is always the truckers responsibility ro make sure the load is secure at all times. He's still learning give him this one. Actually he should be there when they load to make sure the load is balanced and secure.
you should do trucking videos more often, lots of people who wants to start up a trucking business would get enlightened. You should make videos on the process, how much it cost to start etc.. just subscribed.
Here is a pro tip next time do not bring out the lift gate just take the load to the end of the truck it will make it easier for the forklift and saver for him not to break your gate or anything esle or drop the lift gate a bit. Because it seems like he was having a tough time.
This is typical for owner operators with your own authority. It has happened to me many times, and the brokers have you going place to place looking for somewhere to get rid of the freight. My Dad who has his own authority also, has a different approach. If they refuse the load he will haul it back to his own warehouse and tell the broker to pay him for the return and storage. He is also a millionaire and he can afford the lawyers if this gets messy. I can't operate at that level, so most of the time, if this happens to a small business owner, you are at the mercy of the broker. Anyways my brother. Hope it all works out.
I second that strap advice man. As an LTL driver for the past 16 years. You as the driver have final say over the condition of any freight that gets loaded into your trailer or straight job. Most shippers don’t wrap pallets properly. You have a good set up for crank straps in your truck. Love the vids man!
Suggestion....keep a couple of rolls of wrap and a dispenser on hand. That way we u see a load that is wrapped that way you can wrap it a little better before they load it on your truck. Better safe than sorry. They should comp u for the night spent
Ask them bout detention pay, that’s usually the protocol. I drive semi otr. Bring up detention pay to the broker because they screwing your other potential loads
I used to work in shipping for a large lighting company and we would get in trouble if we didn't include the pallet in the wrap. Next time you see a pallet wrapped like this, I would just have the shipper wrap around the pallet a couple of times. Also, It wouldn't hurt to invest in some ratchet straps and some wrap of your own just in case.

I totally enjoy the comical spots in your videos!!! They aren’t boring!! I still can’t get over the “hotdog legs” & you punching the camera in the other videos!! 😂
That's on you, next time secure the load against the wall, get you some plywood and straps. Just like you got creative with fixing your mirror do the same with your loads.
After 24 years in the logistic world. I'd carry essentials to secure your loads. You could possibly carry a small air compressor and purchase load air bags. It will avoid shifting of products on skids. Alot of shippers half ass their wrapping. Make sure it is wrapped good from top to bottom of the skid. If not make notation from shipper to avoid any liability on your part if poorly wrapped. Straps and plywood are a good way to separate your loads and keep them secure.
Sounds like a new sales rep who doesn’t have control of his customers process. That “Hang tight” is sickening lol. Make sure you get all layover pay, any linehaul pay to the next destination and whatever accessorial charges. Make it easy on yourself, and never book a load with that rep or company again.

You are spot on with the diesel at regular gas station Truck stops are usually higher just got to watch the awnings not all of them are built to same height dont want to damage your truck!
those plastic pallet are notorious for freight shifting. Like everyone and their mama said up in here buy MANY straps.. I've learned if I take 15 -20 minutes extra to secure a load man it has saved me from nightmare situations like you encountered. 🙌
Yeah load locks and straps and also on a load like that, that wasn't wrapped to a pallet I would of have airbags. And if can't afford the air bags then a pallet in between them with a strap would have definitely solved the problem. But good video Bro keep it going
What I would also do, if they refuse it because of shippers bad wrapping, then the shipper pays for load back, or they pay you for the load even tho its not accepted and maybe recycle the cans.
Charge detention time and get paid to take it wherever they ask. You're losing money by the day and may have to cancel loads that's booked already because of that load. And read your contract with that broker.
@@nickgipson912 that's ok but the average forklift weighs 9000 lbs. That's close to the payload on most non cdl trucks and that's not including the freight. Even a conservative 7000 lbs would be a lot of weight in a short amount of space. They tear up the box and the floor over time. If your truck is old it has a high chance of putting holes in the floor. Ask if they have electric jacks to load you with.
I also lease my trucks. They swap em out after so many miles. We did have a hino that seemed to not handle it well. Truck would rock hard from side to side and the boards would make an awful crunching sound

Always keep your tuck full, if you have to half a tank fill up. Don’t let it run down low. What happens also is all the dirt goes to the bottom and sucks it into the lines.
All loads will shift , invest on buying 2 load bars, 2 straps, and 4 re usable air bags, and portable leaf blower to blow your bags. 2 airbags would of stop shift, driver is always responsible for the loads. Every time you pick up, think of what could happen in transit, your new at this, and you will learn quick. Been driving 30 years, seen it all, done it all. Good luck
gotta check ya freight before leaving if you can. If you are not allowed on the deck, tell them the customer needs a pik of the load before it leaves the shipper. This way you can correct anything thats wrong.

Yoo I'm glad I found this page bruh, 🙌 everything your saying I said my 1st times out, but I work for a company with a dispatcher tho, you young and brave, you in the south I'm in NYC,
I know this video is old. It's the loader job to make sure their loads are secure. As a loader the way you load it is the way you want the receiver to take it. Just make sure you have the yellow load straps.
My first yr in otr trucking I was in a daycab. Being in a daycab otr will become exhausting. No space, too much money spent on food, no comfort. But it's a great experience. Think about getting your cdl baby bro.
I'm surprised you didn't strap that load and put up load bars. Even a short run can ruin your whole pay check with mistakes like that. You have to look at the freight your hauling like it's your own and tell the shipper to secure it better to the pallet. I've done it before. That's your money man so no room for error. New subscriber. Good content bro
This was my learning experience, nobody knows everything when getting on the road. That’s the reason I make these videos, for the newbies can learn from my mistakes.
The good thing is yes you’re getting paid. The photos are a good representation of how the load was received. Going forward make sure the pallets are always properly wrapped before loading. As a dispatcher, when I send my clients ( owner operators) to the pick up location, I’ll send instructions (check off list to avoid issues like this). On the rate con there is a pick up time and if the shipper take to long to load we can charge a “Detention fee”. Talk to your dispatcher about charging the broker a detention/holding fee for keeping the product locked and stored. For me I would tell my owner operator we’re going to make sure you receive 150 to 175 dollars a day we hold the product and I would make the shipper pay this with the rate con.

As someone who ships things freight often I would have said it was the shippers responsibility. When we ship freight we wrap and band everything so nothing moves on the pallet.
You should get a "per diem" rate, it's the cost of covering your basic expenses. Also, covering "reasonable lodging" as a casual driver is not an unusual or outrageous expense. You're driving a "day can", not a condo or sleeper birth power unit. You should consider joining OOIDA, they have some clout in the industry. Stay safe and rubber side down, driver.
