Fire their lazy asses. Doesn’t take a genius to unload boxes off big boats.

Fire their lazy asses. Doesnât take a genius to unload boxes off big boats. It's not a question of intelligence, it's skill and experience. Most people have never spent time in a container yard, but the operation of cranes, top picks, operating a forklift in a tight dynamic area, strapping and unloading coils and the coordinating of logistics is very difficult to do with out years of experience.

Actually, it kinda does. They have to be taken in a certain order to maintain the stability of the ship.
The shipping company's personnel does it...not the longshoremen.
To: petercooper
Does anyone use “break bulk” shipping any more or is it all container?

If they expect the walk out to effect changes, it would help if they would at least hint at the issue/conflict to induce a beneficial resolution.

My brother retired as a Captain.
But he would explain this loading to me. At one point, he taught this along with fire drills aboard ship. Pretty smart kid....12 years younger than myself.

Does anyone use âbreak bulkâ shipping any more or is it all container?Of course oil, chemicals, salt, sugar but I'm sure you know that. You see it most in produce from South/Central America. I'd say it's 60/40 break bulk, but the trend definitely is toward containers.

It must be because they are so overworked and underpaid!
To quote Senator Claghorn "That's a joke, son!".
