Truck drivers are "usually" only normal when I am unloading their freight cause they want to get the hell out and get back on the road. Some loads take longer than others, depends on what they've got. I work for the military, every thing has to be counted and sorted.
Yea, I have seen my share. The foremen and the managers make sure we keep busy at all times. I have to set an alarm on my phone to tell me when breaktime is, otherwise I will work on through.
I know. I actually have to pull my cell phone out to look at the time. Damned clocks are just too far away. If I am on the forklift then I have to stop first. Too much bother, might as well keep on working if I have something to do. Which is damned near all the time.
