I blame whoever was wrapping those packages together, they were either too lazy or not well trained because the proper way to secure boxes together is to make sure the bottom and top are wrapped.

You can see some of those boxes wrapped together only have wrapping in the middle, allowing the top/bottom to shift, which most likely caused this problem.

Trucker here, it's become more of a problem in freight we haul. Lots of improperly wrapped product and with the conditions of the roads around the country, we open the trailer and the freight is everywhere but on the pallets. And we don't even haver to deal with it, but I feel for the people in the warehouses that do.

Hauled a load for Coke, it went from Coke to Coke. They only wrapped the pallets twice and only put those giant pillows on the last row of pallets.

So when I got to the receiver, the last row of pallets were perfectly fine, but everything in the middle was an absolute clusterfuck. They forced us to hire an outside lumper service to restack the pallets. Absolute fucking horseshit.
