Pulling the Trailer...

A few nights a week I'd pull the trailer - unload the pallets of merchandise, pull it to the sales floor and spot it for the night crew to stock the shelves. HARD WORK because we didn't have power jacks at the time - nothing but your two legs and your back!

Usually there were 2 or 3 people working it and one or 2 would pull the pallets and the 3rd would spot or if there were only two, then one would unload and the 2nd would spot on the floor.
There were times we would be delayed because the trailer wasn't there yet when we were ready to start. Those nights sucked! GF would go nuts and we would have to haul ass to get the work done.

Hard work and a lot of fun too - we were always joking and having a good time. There were times where we'd get done so fast that we'd be able to kick back and relax with a six-pack on the loading dock. Great on a hot summer night back east.

Coming soon - Pulling the Trailer with Mary Queen of Scots and PN Quinn
