You don’t usually unload or load your own trailer.
In my country thats part of their job, unless they are doing inner-company transport maybe.
That’s crazy. I would rather have the people who work the equipment every day do it.
I have been 1 or 2 places that didn’t do it, but they had people there that you hire to do it.
It really sucks from what i have seen.
They are also only paid on the road, so having to load/unload is kinda unpaid time (of course partly compensated via the time they do get paid)
But depending on the items.. worse pay essentially, because more items or difficult ones does not equal higher compensation.
You can get dock time if the place takes a while to get to you, but that original wait time is factored into the job bid
