Current Events > now that i work in logistics, thise hilarious shipment accidents feel like night

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mares to me.

You know, those accidents where nobody got hurt, and usually got into a sort of hilarious situation.

For example that eel spillage in highway California few weeks ago.

While it is hilarious, for us who work in shipment they are just really really scary. If you are the supplier, then the deadline must still be fulfilled and lost have to be covered somehow. If you are the courier, there are lots of losses and importantly loss of trust.

If you are the receiver too, you are not gonna do whatever it is you are going to do with that shipment and automatically profits will be gone.

Either way it will end up in a painful, drawn out negotiations where everyone got pissed in the end and alot of extra work in all department mitigating the loss somehow.

Well, sometimes it is a spilled expensive machinery part, or oil or could be radioactive material

I work at a manufacturing company that does their own shipping, it's kind of impressive how many ways they manage to fuck up.

>Straight up deliver to the wrong place
>Deliver multiple packages wrong so there's like a 3 way triangle of companies with the wrong deliveries
>Forget to deliver stuff
>Leave deliveries out in the open in front of a business when they're supposed to be delivered to their shipping & receiving
>Stuff mysteriously breaks in the truck despite being strapped down
>Get food poisoning and spray shit all over the cabin
>Ram into a gas pump and burn down the truck

This shit happen yes. There are alot of stuff that csn happen inside a container or a truck, but most of them can be avoided with proper stacking and positioning in my experience. Shit sucks so much.
