AN instructor HAS to train drivers to load carry and drive trucks the correct way. Double stacking pallets is inherently dangerous even with a flat load smooth floors etc. The upper pallet can move and when cornering probably will, we occasionally find drivers on site doing this and one of 2 things always happens we either dismiss the driver or give them a final written warning you cant mess about with safety yes it costs more to do it right but safety on site shouldn't have a cost.
If you have to move 100 pallets over regularly I suggest you look at truck, operator numbers on site

Fact of the week
According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward.
