Clicked on the video to see the comments and they were exactly as I thought they were gonna be. It's lumber. It's hard and strong. Its not gonna hurt it. It's much stronger get and tougher than your soft little hands.
I work for a lumberyard that's been around since 1873. 90% of our loads are drop loads even in the 2 ton. But we also have dump beds on your trucks where it's dropped alot lower than that.
I dont know how some people have jobs holy crap, I've driven flatbeds and cube vans for lumber deliveries and you know what, I get payed by the hr, that shit would be hand bombed off nice and tidy and wherever the customer wanted it.
Union drivers, paid well, and been rolling off lumber for 100 years ... I worked Picks Building Materials & Supplys ... had truck front end raise off the ground ! That sure freaked out alot of people seeing that ... framing Lumber ... See alot of comments of people not being in the building business long ...
I totally agree. I worked for Solana Lumber in Solana Beach in the 1980s and this is how they delivered all large loads. I was the one putting them together and I had to load them like you see in this video...longer things on the bottom, smaller things on top, plywood somewhere in there in relation to the order that they'd need it at the building site, some nails in a box on top. If there was the luxury of a 12-ton forklift at the site, of course they'd use it. But most of the loads rolled off of the truck just like this.
Not quite the size of my bundle of lumber for my 22X20 garage... What boom when it ht the ground...it was a tilt bed so it wasn't that high of a drop...
almost every builder merchant lorry in UK has a HIAB now -they can load over fences and hedges -right where you want it. nobody would unload like this video -anyway, it wouldnt be allowed for safety -I cant see a risk assessment passing that
I used to deliver for Lowes. I sure had a few adventures for sure. Climbing up on that Moffett hi lo though ruined my knee. Literally. Now I can't work.
You can lease a Roll-back for a few dollars more a months and lay that down like a baby. Customers like that and will tip about half the time as well. Cheaper than dragging a damn Mule all day on the end of your truck. And if it has a winch, you can pick up as well.
Would have been perfect if they didn't overload the pallet. The end piece of one of the planks clipped on the way down. Looked like it put a bit of warp into the wood.
Pretty neat, pretty unsafe! Low budget company this is how they did it in the 80s. These days it’s all boom truck moffett forklift or switch and go dumps.
Well, you could probably write off a few pieces of lumber, but you should always order extra for scrap and mistakes. But 15% is a very high number. More like 0%.
I don't care what anyone says,you're asking for some damage unloading like this.
That's only because you have no idea what you're talking about, so it's ok.
Sometimes, yes.

When delivered by a reputable company they use a spyder. Don't order from a company that delivers like that

yup, it's rough,,bin that way for years
Normally job sites or the drive would have a forklift of sorts to get the lumber off.
Isn't this usually done with a piggyback?

Off loads like that happen all the time, works fine their not delivering china.
I had $4000.00 worth of lumber dropped off like that last fall.
It's framing material that can be rolled off.
Yes, Your Right.
Bet this busted some of the lumber
Bet you not. Its wood. Its tough.
we do 30 roll off like this and twice as big a day once a month a board will break
I used to deliver for Lowes. I sure had a few adventures for sure. Climbing up on that Moffett hi lo though ruined my knee. Literally. Now I can't work.
You need a wooden leg now? "God damnit cookie, Move your ass" get back to work and lead by example!
That’s how you crack a lot of lumber
why is this in my recommended?
It does not damage the wood I've been doing roll off for 7 years
How do you still have a job is my question 😂😂😂

StealthElectronVIP where do you see a pallet?
Put a warm into it? Lol it's lumber, not metal. It doesn't work that way...
Roll dumps have been used for years moffit or forklift are expensive.
Thats how its done in Cali boys super hood and ghetto :/
Hahaha yes totally ghetto here in LA. Lol
I would never use this deliverer again
Is this just a California thing? Or is it done like this in other states.
Or they could care about that material and get a truck with a HIAB or a forklift...
Ooorrrrr they can keep doing this way. It's lumber, not glass...

lorry smashes into van down the road......
dont scratch the 2 by s lol
thumb up 89
love the big truck with fork lift on the back lol kool
After seeing this I wouldn't hire them, I bet 15%of that lumber was damaged or deformed
Well, you could probably write off a few pieces of lumber, but you should always order extra for scrap and mistakes. But 15% is a very high number. More like 0%.
This is the welfare version
What you would expect to see in a third-world county.
That is lazy SHIT..
I'd refuse that load, you've no idea how much damage there is to timbers in the pack..
Not professional.
Thats how they do it in LA lol
agreed. so many things could go wrong
If you dont have a forklift ready then dont complain
Yeah thats professional... Its lumber, not glass... Its tough and hard, its not gonna hurt it. It's much tougher than your soft little hands.
