Home Depot delivery drivers I have used are very customer focused and will produce a legal liability disclaimer and indemnification agreement for me to sign if I request forklift to drive onto private property.
Yup… especially all those people who support tolling trucks… it’s like the idiots don’t realize the phones they use, clothes they wear, food they eat, gas in their car is all brought to them by a truck driver.

What seems to be the issue driving on a loose gravel path to the property with the entire truck, not just the fork lift? I understand driver discretion but is your concern about tire blowouts?
So it's a curbside delivery and some customers have like half a mile long driveways and sometimes they have ruts or divots that can cause the machine to dip in and then the material could come sliding off and then potentially get damaged
@@SaffordDelivery I understand not driving distance with the lift, but the tractor trailer can't come closer to the destination? nvm, if this in pt2. YT doesn't always show me next in series.
@@philc2729 It's not his truck and he's very afraid to damage it. he's spoken about in other videos. A lot of long driveways have low branches, trees or get narrow with thick bushes for instance, those can damage the truck and the material. So he's afraid because he's exposed to two fronts of liability. One is the customer's property the other is the rental property. But I do think he'll get less aggravation directed at him when he just explains that a little more to the customers and not only to the viewers. There will always be assholes, but a lot will also understand.
Used to drive a small flat bead for deliveries had to do everything by hand 120 sheets of .5in sheetrock and a full pallet of quick crete.thats not the worst one. people would be like can you bring that shit upstairs and put it in the rear garage i was like hell no. Im not moving past that drive way. I would kill for a fork lift lol one day ill be there and by that point ill be unable to walk. Also love timber tech but carrrying it sux
Thanks for the videos and thanks for putting up with the idiot contractors. When I was a firefighter I had a part-time job delivering plumbing supplies and most of the guys were OK but there was always the few that expected you to do their job
Got a curious question and not trying to put you on the spot but have you ever try to use the Moffett and for some reason you couldn't make delivery because either the Moffett couldn't pick up the pallets or you couldn't make it up the driveway and there's no curb? What would be the fix for that
#Mike . Question do you have a shot video where you show how to surcure the trail strap when taking off a load or surcure a lord. P.s your a good fork operator.
Here in Oz Qld (Australia) if you parked a truck on the road like that the Police would Book you, the Local Council would-have words with you as. well. And you directing traffic from the Mountie will get you in more trouble if a vehicle happens to hit you or another vehicle.
@@mmaybee4379 If you can drive to the right of the yellow line, you could park to right of same line as close to outside edge of road to provide as much space for passing vehicles as possible. Your rear tires and outer edge of truck are sticking out into travel or passing lane. Indicates an entitled trucker mentality.
That’s almost expected man when you deliver stuff with a bigger than a car vehicle. Even ups drivers sometimes have to park in between yellow lines and cross the road. I’ve seen it where I live downtown.
I did delivery for sometime ,,, your a pain to work with you make it hard work man if can not drive down that drive way you should not be doing this type of work ,,,
I’ve watched a lot of his videos and he is constantly telling his customers “I can’t do it”. No paying customer wants to hear that nonsense. In one of his other videos, he blamed his customer (which was an older woman) for him not being able to make his delivery to her house because her driveway was too narrow. He should know if he can drive his truck into these places or not before he actually does it. He just drives the truck wherever he wants then if it doesn’t work out, he blames the customer. It’s common sense that if you think the truck won’t fit, then you get out, walk the road or driveway you’re about to drive down, and make sure you can fit before actually driving on it, This guy doesn’t want to be bothered anytime a customer asks him a question or asks him to do something. Poor customer service for sure
It’s not him it’s his company first of all. Secondly he only gets a list of address not no picture of how the driveway or place looks like that’s why you heard say let call and ask first. Thirdly these so called paying customers only paid for curbside that’s it so legally he did his job and he learned if he goes out his way than it lands him in trouble like that lady try to file a false claim on him. Fourth and final nowadays try to go out your way for a customer and see if you don’t find yourself being sued for helping. P.s. people are suing for every little thing so to cover his ass he leaves it curbside it’s up to the customers to figure the rest out
@@michaelirvis994 your arguments are all invalid lol you sound like you’d be a perfect partner for this guy. Bad attitude, make up excuses for everything possible, and do the absolute bare minimum to get by. Good luck with that buddy
@@yaboyreege7158 If I delivered to someone who filed a claim because their driveway got messed up, OR I KNEW that I was going to damage it, why would I put myself in legal jeopardy? It's not an excuse, it's called "legal liability". Own a business one day and see how much "bare minimum" you have to do to keep the public out of your bank account.
@@Fox3-x3p If he was driving a 18 wheeler or heavily loaded vehicle and it was an asphalt driveway, yes it could have settled the ground and cracked the driveway. There is a reason how trucks get stuck on roads that collapse under old culverts that were filled in. It's also why residential roads have weight limits. Trucks can punch right through the road and end up in the sewer lines. The only thing you can do is buy a $20 can of flex seal and patch the crack. The customer has no way to prove damages incurred to warrant a total asphalt resurfacing on a 30, 40, 50 year old driveway, and if that is what they want, they are scammers.
I’ve been driving for 27 years it’s called customer service.You drop things at the curb you might as well leave it at the store.Most home owners get things delivered because they have no way of doing it themselves.Stop complaining and put yourself in their shoes.Instead of saying nope nope nope just do it and get on with your day.
It’s not his job to do it😂 he gets paid for it going on the curb he doesn’t have to do extra shit just cuz people want him too he can get fired if somthing goes wrong
@@justinrodriguez5439 for sure! I think he works for himself. But yeah, better to say you leave it on curb side and avoid nasty court claims over phantom damages to the owners property. Most home owners don't realize quite how much forklift tires rip up or mark whatever they are driving over.
You can’t drop the load onto the guys flatbed trailer because of liability. What the hell are you talking about, he is standing right there giving you permission, that voids all liability unless you do it in a unsafe manner. You planning on seeing how high you could get it ad dropping it onto the trailer. 1800 foot drive, yo0u ask if there was room to turn around with the tractor and trailer down there, from other video’s gravel scares you, I understand, but drive the truck down there and drop the load. To put it bluntly, the few video’s I have watched you, your not a pleasure to talk to and yo are almost egging the Dooley to refuse the loads. You said it plainly in a video, you don’t loose money from not delivering it, you might actually get paid twice as you usually deli o nearest yard ten com that yard back to original location. So you make more money from a customer refusing a load. The one we’re the guy asked you to look and see if you were able to get it through a gate before you unloaded because he couldn’t Ave the load out front. You were, ya, I will look at it when I get back there, ie, it’s on my forklift and I am looking at it. Then, when I can’t because there is a piece of gravel in the area, your forced to put load back on, strap, load forklift, secure, you get paid b the load or load and hourly. Sounds more load hourly, you milk stuff like that a lot.
@ Mark Wallace. Obviously you have no kind of business acumen, and obviously you've never driven a tractor trailer ever in your life or at least in a residential delivery capacity. #1 - why would he put himself in a situation where he could end up paying more for causing damage to something or getting stuck and having to pay $300 + dollars for a tow truck to pull him out, when the delivery itself isn't potentially paying that much? He's a contractor, it's his responsibility to foot the bill if those mistakes are made. Who goes in to business to lose money? #2 - Newsflash tractor trailers are not off road commercial vehicles and they perform horribly on top of gravel, dirt and grass. #3 - Most companies charge extra and potentially pay their contracted drivers extra for an inside delivery because of the risks and extra work involved. So he's just supposed skip over the fact that it's a "Curbside Delivery", WHICH THE CUSTOMER AGREED TO and did not want to pay extra for inside delivery service, and potentially cause damage to property or his truck and trailer to be stuck in a bad situation, "which again he's financially liable for," all in the name of customer service? No way in hell! At the end of the day customers and contractors will try to get over on you as much as they can to save a dollar, and they will be no where to be found if damage is made trying to go above and beyond what was agreed upon. Perhaps do some research before making assumptions on things your clearly ignorant about.
@@thomashoover209 Again, you have no idea what you're talking about. In the freight delivery world inside delivery doesn't mean inside of the house. That's what moving companies are for not delivery drivers. Inside of the driveway, inside of a garage, pretty much anything other than curbside is considered inside delivery. I still think your're missing the whole point about liability and what delivery method was contractually agreed upon which was a curbside delivery. Why should the driver assume all of the risks associated with potentially damaging someones property or his truck by doing something above and beyond his scope of service? Why can't the customer have their contractor onsite to move the material to where it needs to be staged? I'm speaking as someone who does this all day every day. It's easy to throw shade on the delivery driver for covering their own ass, when you know good and well the customer would not go to bat for the driver for going above and beyond should they have their property damaged. I live in the real world sir!
@@saularmstead5519 you have no idea I see company's delivering shingles and other materials to customers they don't drop at curb. Also what would happen if his property wasn't at the curb. THAT IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN BUSSINESS HIRE THIRD PARTIES.
I was OTR and always hated how the local drivers in certain areas were unprofessional in some regards. Not to mention how he wraps his straps are wound for speed, not exactly security.
execpt he didn't leave them on the road... Can't have seen the video, he roll them right at the 4 minute mark. So either you're just lying or you didn't watch the full video, and at worst willfully ignorant.
@@grejsancoprative it's not about leaving them on the road, some straps were touching the left lane, at 2:35 you can see the car driving past almost drove over the clamp from the strap, potentially blowing out the tire.
This guy is always telling his customers “cant do that” lol it seems he always gives people a hard time and never goes the extra mile. Not a good work ethic to have. Then you threw your tie downs over across the road and left them sitting in the middle of the lane while cars were driving past. No one is going to want you delivering their stuff if you treat people like garbage everywhere you go
@@michaelirvis994 nothing that I said in my comment wasn’t true. This is all stuff that he says or did in this video, and it seems like everytime he had a delivery, he has an issue with the customer. So what’s that have to do with putting myself in someone else’s shoes? You’re telling me that every customer he has is the problem, or is it that he just has a bad attitude? I used to deliver products to customers in a huge box truck, so I do have some experience doing this sort of thing. I’ve never told a customer flat out that “I can’t do it” if they had a question or if I had to go the extra mile to satisfy them. That’s just poor customer service, and that won’t get you anywhere. That same thing holds true in any sort of job
@@yaboyreege7158 some customers are the problem because from the start they all already knew they only paid for curbside delivery that’s it so legally he don’t have to nothing. The reason he is doing that it’s not that he wants to it’s because his company tells him to because as you can see he does want to out his way to help the customers but if something happens it’s on him not the company so that’s why you see him tell customers straight up he can’t do it. And I said put yourself in his shoes because do his job for a day and see if you don’t have a problem
A box truck is totally different than what he is dealing with and secondly you don’t know how much work he has to finish in one day including all the driving he has to do. You probably just drop stuff off when you had the box truck. He has to drop stuff off and go to other stores that is miles away and pick up again and try to deliver that to all in one day it’s not enough time
@@michaelirvis994 whatever dude. Regardless if you’re always telling people “I can’t do it” then no one is going to want you to deliver their stuff. You have no idea how much driving I used to do, or how my deliveries/drop offs/pick ups went, so don’t act like you do. I never tried to compare a box truck to a rig and trailer, just simply stated that I had a job as a delivery driver as well. I still treated my customers with respect and tried to do as much as I could to help them out. I would never tell someone that I couldn’t do something, that’s just a bad attitude. You can clearly see in multiple videos that the customers become agitated with this guys attitude and laziness. Wether the job is delivering or some other kind of customer service, you should still always have a good attitude. If it wasn’t for the customer then you wouldn’t have a job. They’re the reason why you’re out there making money. You should never tell them that you can’t do something or have an attitude with them for any reason. We’ve all dealt with people that have attitudes or that don’t understand how the process on a delivery like this works. That’s not an excuse to be a douchebag to them
You are glad you don't come to my house you work for home Depot bro you are always saying you don't work for home Depot so you work for a 3rd party delivery service that works for home Depot so technically you work for home Depot
You haul these home deliveries because you can’t get a job delivering to commercial or industrial sites that pay better. You wouldn’t last a week because a dock supervisor would tell you where to put your load and if you said “I can’t do that” he would refuse your load. Your shipper would get a new carrier so fast and you would be fired. You should try, just once, to say “yes sir, yes ma’am, I will make every effort to exceed your expectation”. Many homeowners have cash in there pocket to reward drivers or delivery people who are more than helpful. Thank you for the videos though. I will certainly ask first before having my lumber delivered by Safford
I've literally delivered to malls under construction and have had to tell multi million dollar general contractors that I couldn't get the load to where they wanted it. It happens even at industrial sites as well. I'm curious if you have a CDL and have driven flatbed/specialized loads before or if you're just armchair quarterbacking this guy 🤔
First of all that's absolute Bullshit. Refusing a shipment of a potential necessary piece or part that could potentially slow down the progress on a commercial or industrial site will only be refused in extreme circumstances. If there is a skid steer or some sort of power lifting piece of machinery available, they will do any thing they can in order to get the freight off, in the event the truck driver does not feel safe driving on the site. It could end up costing the company completing the work if they don't stay on schedule. Been there done that. Saying yes sir or yes ma'am could potentially have you in court fighting for your business. All customers are not good customers!
Most stores give you choices for delivery, you have to pay extra for anything beyond curb side. Pay attention. He IS going above and beyond most of the time, don't like to watch then move on down the road to the next Karen freak out vid.
I share a lot of your videos with a lot of my trucking friends and they enjoy watching them.

@@Reidbit lmao man I can't stop laughing right now some people's brain when it comes to simple logic lmao
that truck, doesnt it have reverse? you could just back up on that road! :D :D
It’s illegal to stop there. You deserve a book full of tickets.
Cool
This guy is always telling his customers “cant do that” lol it seems he always gives people a hard time and never goes the extra mile. Not a good work ethic to have. Then you threw your tie downs over across the road and left them sitting in the middle of the lane while cars were driving past. No one is going to want you delivering their stuff if you treat people like garbage everywhere you go
How about not be so quick to say something until you put yourself In his shoes for a day
@@michaelirvis994 nothing that I said in my comment wasn’t true. This is all stuff that he says or did in this video, and it seems like everytime he had a delivery, he has an issue with the customer. So what’s that have to do with putting myself in someone else’s shoes? You’re telling me that every customer he has is the problem, or is it that he just has a bad attitude? I used to deliver products to customers in a huge box truck, so I do have some experience doing this sort of thing. I’ve never told a customer flat out that “I can’t do it” if they had a question or if I had to go the extra mile to satisfy them. That’s just poor customer service, and that won’t get you anywhere. That same thing holds true in any sort of job
@@yaboyreege7158 some customers are the problem because from the start they all already knew they only paid for curbside delivery that’s it so legally he don’t have to nothing. The reason he is doing that it’s not that he wants to it’s because his company tells him to because as you can see he does want to out his way to help the customers but if something happens it’s on him not the company so that’s why you see him tell customers straight up he can’t do it. And I said put yourself in his shoes because do his job for a day and see if you don’t have a problem
A box truck is totally different than what he is dealing with and secondly you don’t know how much work he has to finish in one day including all the driving he has to do. You probably just drop stuff off when you had the box truck. He has to drop stuff off and go to other stores that is miles away and pick up again and try to deliver that to all in one day it’s not enough time
@@michaelirvis994 whatever dude. Regardless if you’re always telling people “I can’t do it” then no one is going to want you to deliver their stuff. You have no idea how much driving I used to do, or how my deliveries/drop offs/pick ups went, so don’t act like you do. I never tried to compare a box truck to a rig and trailer, just simply stated that I had a job as a delivery driver as well. I still treated my customers with respect and tried to do as much as I could to help them out. I would never tell someone that I couldn’t do something, that’s just a bad attitude. You can clearly see in multiple videos that the customers become agitated with this guys attitude and laziness. Wether the job is delivering or some other kind of customer service, you should still always have a good attitude. If it wasn’t for the customer then you wouldn’t have a job. They’re the reason why you’re out there making money. You should never tell them that you can’t do something or have an attitude with them for any reason. We’ve all dealt with people that have attitudes or that don’t understand how the process on a delivery like this works. That’s not an excuse to be a douchebag to them
1800' is about 1/3 of a mile, but yeah, that's a big request when you paid for curb delivery.
Why don't these guys hire a little truck to go and pick their load up and deliver it up to the house?
You are glad you don't come to my house you work for home Depot bro you are always saying you don't work for home Depot so you work for a 3rd party delivery service that works for home Depot so technically you work for home Depot
Nope
that was an easy drive....the ""I cant" is bullshit sometimes. You could have easily.
You haul these home deliveries because you can’t get a job delivering to commercial or industrial sites that pay better. You wouldn’t last a week because a dock supervisor would tell you where to put your load and if you said “I can’t do that” he would refuse your load. Your shipper would get a new carrier so fast and you would be fired. You should try, just once, to say “yes sir, yes ma’am, I will make every effort to exceed your expectation”. Many homeowners have cash in there pocket to reward drivers or delivery people who are more than helpful. Thank you for the videos though. I will certainly ask first before having my lumber delivered by Safford
I've literally delivered to malls under construction and have had to tell multi million dollar general contractors that I couldn't get the load to where they wanted it. It happens even at industrial sites as well.
I'm curious if you have a CDL and have driven flatbed/specialized loads before or if you're just armchair quarterbacking this guy 🤔
First of all that's absolute Bullshit. Refusing a shipment of a potential necessary piece or part that could potentially slow down the progress on a commercial or industrial site will only be refused in extreme circumstances. If there is a skid steer or some sort of power lifting piece of machinery available, they will do any thing they can in order to get the freight off, in the event the truck driver does not feel safe driving on the site. It could end up costing the company completing the work if they don't stay on schedule. Been there done that. Saying yes sir or yes ma'am could potentially have you in court fighting for your business. All customers are not good customers!
Seems like you go into every delivery expecting to be negative.
Nope pays for curbside and we get tired of other people making promises on our behalf
Home depot should get another delivery company
@ TH
Why do you say that?
Agree. This guy has foregone customer service to make interesting videos.
@@EASTCOASTIMPERIAL because you take care of customers
Most stores give you choices for delivery, you have to pay extra for anything beyond curb side. Pay attention. He IS going above and beyond most of the time, don't like to watch then move on down the road to the next Karen freak out vid.
@@bikerkat01 bull my opinion
Fhh❤have guys fggg
"Alot" is two different words. Just sayin'.
Red pick-up truck ? bad choice of color
