I could go the rest of my life w/o another one of these. These tires are not on pallets. Stacked in the trailer like sardines in a can. Obviously loaded one by one by hand. Unloaded the same way. Over 4 hours to unload, still waiting for my paperwork. Been here for 5 hours! I don't know why they schedule these for a live unload. Very inefficient use of EVERYBODY'S time!

Lol, well at least you have a reason. I sat at tyson in russellville, ar for 11 hours. Took them 5 hours to get me in a door, then took about 3.5 hours to get me unloaded, then another 3 hours sitting there empty but couldn't move because they were too busy to send someone out to take the glad hand lock off my truck......

Did YOU have to unload each tire?

Of did you sit in air conditioned comfort while SOMEONE ELSE DID?

Back up to the dock in high reverse with rear doors open, pull both buttons, instant unload.

I just delivered tires to Great Dane in Kewanee, IL. They took it a day early, told me to drop it in the driveway, then brought an empty out for me to take. I didn't even have to back up.dancing.gif

There certainly would have been less for them to unload!

True that...just like the commercial, "I pick things up, I put them down."
