Overnight shifts are unpredictable, but this one hit a new level. The dock plate stopped working right in the middle of unloading. We had pallets on the edge, stuck, and the driver waiting.

We tried the usual fixes—reset, check power, call maintenance. Nothing worked. So now we’re manually dragging pallets across the gap, trying not to flip them. Freight was stacking up fast, CAP2 was stretched thin, and of course, we had to start moving pallets into random backroom corners to make space.

We worked around it, but the whole shift turned into this weird jigsaw puzzle of freight balancing. Management showed up four hours later and asked why we were behind. The dock was finally fixed on the next shift. By then, we’d already made it work. Like always.
