All our bulk heads need a yank when you hit the red button to open properly

"bulkhead door sticks, please adjust latch" in DVIR.
I write this up every time I encounter it.
Little things like that make a bigger difference than some people realize. It amazes me what some of these bid route drivers put up with in their cars. I really doubt the key fob happened to break the day I ran your route, how long have you been dealing with that and why?

I'm surprised no one mentioned the worn spring issue. When the springs are fresh, the flap will stay upright when you lay the handcart down and pull the flap up. But once those springs wear out, it always falls down.
Anyway I agree with every single gripe. For the preloaders who put the handcart in the cab and then leave no space to secure it I always let them know to leave it secured and load around it. I can't stand not having it secured and it banging against the bulk head door every time I come to a stop.
Also can't stand flat tires and folks who try to steal it. I marked mine with about 20 stickers all from different businesses on my route so it stands out like a mother. I remember one morning when I discovered it missing. And I remember the satisfaction I felt as I walked the entire line and discovered it 10 cars down. Pulled it out right in front of the driver like 'this is mine, homie!'. Lol.

Gotta love it when you take the last package off and the flap slams down in a quiet office..... YEP I'm done unloading your crap, time to sign.

P.E. fixes them.
Automotive won't have anything to do with them here.
Ordering new ones falls on management.

In our center our mechanics service our hand carts. The only thing that they cannot do is weld.
