The day freight just didn’t show up
We had one of those days where the truck just never came. Everyone’s ready to unload, the backroom is prepped, and then… nothing. Turns out it was delayed by hours, but no one told us until the end of shift. So we basically spent the whole day shifting pallets and looking for ways to fill the time.
The worst part? The freight’s now showing up on tomorrow’s truck, which is already oversized. So tomorrow, we’re basically getting a double. It’s like the work just rolls downhill and lands right in your lap.
When the truck ghosted us, half the team just started deep cleaning the backroom because we didn’t know what else to do. That’s how you know you’ve run out of tasks. Some shifts you unload freight, other shifts you just stand around waiting for problems to arrive.
