At my third and final stop today (Costco in Tucson, Arizona), I had to wait in the receiving area (safety reasons?). As the annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP from the forklift was piercing my eardrums I was watching them unload my trailer. One guy on the forklift and another guy counting & tagging. Things were going smooth until forklift dude pulls out one of the double stacked pallets. He says, "Oh Tommy!", above the annoying BEEP BEEP BEEP. I looked (was watching a good looking customer like a perv) and saw three (3) cases of the diapers has been ripped. I don't know how they got that way, but I knew they weren't taking them. Anyway, they finish the off load. They hand me my bills, and put the three cases in the trailer. I pull off the dock , and then call claims. Claims said to just get rid of them. I tried to give them away to customers and put them in a "donation barrel". Customers (with kids that they would fit), and Costco didn't want them. WTF? Free diapers and they don't want them. Costco freaked out because they're a brand they carry...bla bla bla. So anyway I put them in my cab, and I guess, will be taking these things everywhere I go. So if anybody in Reno area needs/wants three FREE CASES of diapers let me know. There's nothing wrong with the contents, only the boxes got ripped a little.
Forklifts have different centers of gravity and balance, they can be dangerous if their operators and people who work around them don't recognize their hazards and follow safety rules.
