irl-trucking

[formal minnow]

Yep

[marsh wind]

anyways i hate germany 😄

for stau

[formal minnow]

germany is okay

[marsh wind]

every time for no reason

[formal minnow]

ive only had stau once

in the 3 times i went deep germany

for work

[marsh wind]

i drive and i get every time stau 😄

[formal minnow]

other times never stau

[marsh wind]

thats why i hate

[formal minnow]

but thats probably because im driving on border towards netherlands again

[marsh wind]

yeh just go to leipzig 😄

[formal minnow]

and the other time i had a unload close by + it was 730 so closeby

[marsh wind]

and u will see haha

[formal minnow]

but no jams yet

ah i dont go that far

im still in a van so

[marsh wind]

😄

i like most netherlands

people here so chill

[formal minnow]

yes

untill u go overtake in a truck when we come up at 100

and ur doing 82

and decide to overtake 10ppl

then were no longer nice

[marsh wind]

90 full haha

[formal minnow]

good

[marsh wind]

in netherlands u can go 82 max?

or no

[formal minnow]

aslong as u move over if ur gonna overtake 20 trucks fine

but dont do all at once

its 80

but with corrections u can safely do 83

[marsh wind]

a okey

[formal minnow]

and shouldnt get a fine

[marsh wind]

bruh im fine no ticket

for 90 😄

[formal minnow]

i think thats because theyre set for car speed

and they dont check based on license if its a truck or not

• usually your trailer is photographed

wich have same letters as normal trailers such as caravan that can do 90-100 so 🤷‍♂️

so yeah they probably dont ticket trucks

unless they doing 90 in a 80 yk

[marsh wind]

a okey

ty for info

[formal minnow]

dont blame me tho if u do get one

in belgium u can do 6over max

:)

[marsh wind]

thanks good i dont go to belgium 😄

in germany same shit bro

60+ km/h

in other roads

[formal minnow]

belgium sucks

u have like 20 governments

half of the country countryside roads is 70

then the other half is 90

and theres never any signs :)

[marsh wind]

bruh

so suck

[formal minnow]

i mean signs isnt the issue

the roads are

[marsh wind]

a okey

[formal minnow]

potholes so nice your air seat bottoms out and u get launched into the air

;D

[marsh wind]

[proper elbow]

Once again evening stint to the other side of the country

[regal crater]

wtf

I'm doing an internship as transport planner. And our system works via a sattelite because trucks can't get acces to WIFI all the time.

wonder how they can spread such a things via that

[formal minnow]

by having a sim card that works on 4g most likely

im geussing its multifunctional he might even be able to call with it

not sure

as im forced to use my own phone no computer in here nothing

[magic girder]

We have systems that run via internet

[errant river]

Nice truck mate

[lean oracle]

Nvm

[regal crater]

Ye but the company where I do it do alot of transport in regions where internet connection is quite low

[proper elbow]

Correct

It's basically a phone with simcard and all

Just with an extra app for the board computer

At startup connect with the truck guys via NFC tag next to the tacho

[formal minnow]

gps etc too?

or u still need a seperate truck navi

[proper elbow]

It got google maps

But I use a tomtom anyways

[formal minnow]

and flitsmeister probably in background

i kinda wish our planners were nice as they usually plan using google maps

to just create a link so i aint needa setup navi in morning

just click link n got all my stops just needa think about a fuelstop lol

[proper elbow]

Nah

Tom Tom shows them too

Also temp ones when connected to wifi

[formal minnow]

ah nice

so just hookup to phone

n hope they all get reported

[proper elbow]

Hotspot

[formal minnow]

yes i was implying that

:p

[proper elbow]

Mhm

[proper elbow]

Hello I'm street photographer

[magic girder]

When you park the truck at the back of the yard, and you have to use the toilet at the very front of the yard #longwalk

[formal minnow]

Thats when u just go in the bushes

Or park closer to toilet

[regal crater]

We moved over recently to a software that keeps in mind about the weight limits etc. on certain roads to make the route

[formal minnow]

I mean

Theyre just a suggestion

Most people ignore em anyways unless its a small bridge

Hell i even go over this small bridge i barely fit on at this certain company

Max 1.2 axle load and am pretty sure im above that usually

[daring sail]

drive to the toilet

[turbid latch]

really do not like driving this route at night time

[twin rover]

Its fun driving at night is cool

[thick cedar]

for some people depending on where you are

[jagged iron]

In nyc trucking is so bad

[blissful locust]

prove your name in this chat now

[jagged iron]

Wdym

Yo, that is very weird

[magic girder]

Had my curtains already closed

[formal minnow]

Open them

[magic girder]

Too much work

I will park my car next to the truck tonight

[formal minnow]

[formal minnow]

[restive shoal]

[lucid birch]

[blissful locust]

[daring sail]

Oh this is the painful crossing at Baarn isn’t it?

Such a bumpy crossing

[lucid birch]

No this is zeist

[daring sail]

Oh but the second picture is baarn?

[lucid birch]

No also zeist

[daring sail]

Wow very similar crossings then

I’m 100% sure u mean baarn based of google maps

[lucid birch]

Whats thats still baarn?

Bro im so confused today

My brain doesnt work

I thought it was soest

But its indeed baarn

[daring sail]

[formal minnow]

Well theory is planned

I start that in august

[fleet basin]

But other 6 Meins Schiffs look alot a like

[proper elbow]

Relaoding the entire truck at the first customer

All of the wood is loaded in exactly the wrong order

[daring sail]

[formal minnow]

Me to planner: adress is wrong

Planner: do you knkw where u gotta be?

[magic girder]

Lovely these adresses

[magic girder]

Did it ever work?

[lucid birch]

Good question

But i feel sick today

Sore throat, headache

Stiffy nose

[magic girder]

Should have stayed home

[lucid birch]

I don’t stay home if i feel a bit ill

Only reason to call in sick if i almost die 😂

Can easily work with an headache and sore throat

[magic girder]

Little headache and sore throat yes, severe, no

[formal minnow]

[turbid latch]

Colleague is seething and malding badly

He wants me to offload the trailer before his shift starts even though my boss said specifically to offload it on his shift

Dude does not even have the energy to ever wash the truck so i am not surprised

I am ending my own shift at like 5 AM so no thanks

[formal minnow]

Damm what ahole

[turbid latch]

Hes mega lazy

Although i wont complain too much because every extra work means i get all the extra money

[formal minnow]

true

but u dont wanna do that at 5am

cuz hes too lasy to do his job

cbr is a scam

:D

45 euros for me to just say no to everything for a medical eval

cuz without this i cannot do the physical eval

[raven gate]

passed my truck exam

roads of the netherlands have never been more unsafe

[turbid latch]

Cleaning the tank while being super tired is goated activity

Ethanol and hydrox killing braincells

[raven gate]

your finaly using straps i see?

[formal minnow]

cant kill anything if u dont have them

[regal crater]

congrats!

[raven gate]

thank you

[turbid latch]

Truth

[proper elbow]

Stranded in pothole country

But we got thuisbezorgd to the rescue

[restive shoal]

Rowan is already on the road so

[formal minnow]

U in belgium?

[formal minnow]

Whatd ya get

[regal crater]

omg what did I witness at my last day on my internship

A truck driver had some mechanical issues and he wasn't even bothered to call the planning after standing there for more than an hour

His reaction on that: "I'm not allowed to call in my truck"

[magic girder]

Loaded for tomorrow, 3 adresses, all with pallets of potting soil

[daring sail]

seatbelt on

[magic girder]

Parked, at the back of the yard

[formal minnow]

lmao

[formal minnow]

[magic girder]

Yes

[formal minnow]

[formal minnow]

how far is ur walk even to bathroom at warehouse

[magic girder]

Walk is a good 2 to 3 minutes

[lucid birch]

For C exam?

You shouldn’t pay for that.. you will get redirected to see a doctor for a physical test. eyes, mental health and much more.

And that will cost you 250?

[formal minnow]

C + E

i got told by wierks i needa do that

or i cannot do the physical medical exam

🤷‍♂️

i put no everywhere anyways

and send the bill to my boss

[lucid birch]

Ive never filled in the medical list.

[formal minnow]

🤷‍♂️

[lucid birch]

I went straight to the physical appointment

New CBR scam nowadays i guess

[formal minnow]

[proper elbow]

There's usually one at the companies I unload at

[formal minnow]

Yes

[proper elbow]

Most are

[formal minnow]

eh

if theyre cleaned after closing and your first one there early early

yea

but not if they get alot of trucks from morning till closing

ive only found 4 so far that i was like alright

[proper elbow]

I'll be the first one tomorrow for sure

[formal minnow]

you deserve to be my throne

[proper elbow]

I'm literally blocking their gate

[formal minnow]

lmao

[proper elbow]

With the trailer

[formal minnow]

Fair enough

Geussing its not a big company

[proper elbow]

Moderate

Trailerbuilders

[summer valve]

You drive that?

[formal minnow]

Doubt it since he posted a black volvo yesterday

Nice old torpedo in the background tho

[jade tangle]

Ello,

As the channel description says, For random truck pics taken in real life, please use #irl-media or #photos

[summer valve]

Nice and Brazilian truck don't go hand in hand

[formal minnow]

I know

But i like torpedos so theyre nice

To see

Sad to see in bad condition ofcourse

[turbid latch]

Fancy stuff being loaded

[formal minnow]

Go on

[turbid latch]

Organic ethanol

[formal minnow]

Drink

[turbid latch]

No its a very expense

[formal minnow]

Sell

[turbid latch]

Its 3 euros per litre so like

66 000 euros

So the total price is over 120 000 euros

now i understand why our CEO keeps mentioning how important this is

[formal minnow]

A while ago i had a small ass pallet and i checked papers

And it had price on it

45000€

[raven gate]

Thats nothing had one the other day ma man loaded 16 tonne on the back axle💀

[quartz moat]

what checks u gotta do on a tanker

[turbid latch]

On the tanker itself i have to check that it isnt leaking air too much, it doesnt leak liquids anywhere

And that the adapters for the hoses work, grounding too

And sometimes i check the upper loading hatch

[quartz moat]

ahh

[turbid latch]

once drove while it was open

[quartz moat]

a tanker leaked on a main road it was a cargill trailer what do u think that couldve been

[quartz moat]

oh owow

[turbid latch]

One common mistake is that they just forget to close the offloading handle

[quartz moat]

oh nevermind

found it out

crash between him and a car

caused a leak

along a whole stretch of road?

[turbid latch]

I mean the tanks are not super strong

[quartz moat]

hmm yeah

[turbid latch]

Aluminium like mine

[quartz moat]

hmm

the spill was just unner half a mile

youd fink hed notice right?

[turbid latch]

Not necessarily

If it is from the back then really hard to notice

[magic girder]

Had 14 ton on the drive when i came from Amsterdam yesterday

[formal minnow]

@magic girder

Im a bit late telling when ill be where

[magic girder]

Oooo, that sucka

[formal minnow]

Yes

Hit a curb 😬😂

[magic girder]

I just have woken up

[formal minnow]

Wasnt paying enough attention i geuss lol

[magic girder]

Wish i could stay a little longer on my bed

[formal minnow]

Just happy my airbag aint pop

[formal minnow]

Wouldnt we all

[magic girder]

True

[formal minnow]

Hope my rim isnt broken

Cuz thatd suck

[magic girder]

Time to get the spare under it

[formal minnow]

I tried

Too flat to safely fit my jack

Seeing its a scissor one im not gonna risk it falling cuz it isnt under it right

[magic girder]

Than you have the wrong jack

[formal minnow]

Thats the jack that came with it lol

Cuz it foods down compact

I dont like using it either

[magic girder]

That don't make sense

[formal minnow]

Right

Its one of em triangle type jacks sorta

Like i said

But just worse

XD

[magic girder]

That sucks

[formal minnow]

Yup

Main problem is that the cars too low now to fit it lol

So called anwb

Theh got a airbag they put under

Im hoping filling it up fixes it and that it just debeaded but probably not

Aslong as my rims fine

They needed replacing im pretty sure anyways

[formal minnow]

Ah definetly need a new spare tire too

4 lug while spare is 5

[magic girder]

That goes well

Just checked my spare last week, still had 3.8 bar in it

[formal minnow]

Gonna just throw in a winter tire when i get home

And a oid curbs

[magic girder]

And a better jack

[formal minnow]

I just looked back my dashcam

Think i was a bit too tired

Steered in a bit too much drove up a parking space curb

Just good my bumper survived xD

Tire was needing replacement anyways

But now pricier

Annoying im not closer to home i woulda gotten a different tire

[daring sail]

Just noticed ur tire is also flat That sucks

[magic girder]

Only the underside

[formal minnow]

Btw @magic girder i got rdam all day

[magic girder]

That sucks for you, i'm almost in Eindhoven

[formal minnow]

Yes

Aka a exspensive day and barely any hours

New wheel + rim is not cheap

[magic girder]

Not cheap at all, thinking about tires, also need to order some for my car

[formal minnow]

My wrong lug pattern spare got a new tire so geuss that gonna go onto the left front to replace

And broken rim with worn tire will be spare

Stepdad got me a new rim

So all fixed

Can focus on work

Doing the bare minimum hha

[magic girder]

Lunch time

[formal minnow]

Nice

Just had mine

[blissful locust]

a wheel is a rim + tire 🤔

[formal minnow]

Shutup

[glossy zodiac]

[lucid birch]

Dont want to be mean but what does this have to do with IRL Trucking

[restive shoal]

The same thing as his van

[proper elbow]

Ran outta time

Had to call the backup driver

[formal minnow]

Didnt know u used your kids as child labor

no wonder ur still working on fridays that late

u just force ur kids to drive

[lean oracle]

Fridays not for the kids

The weekends are

Then u get real max efficiency

Also i mean ive never seen a renault build out besides how i seen them as always as just the truck to pull trailer

Maybe a rare time as a box truck but doubt that

Never seen them other configuration than the truck

[formal minnow]

u dont look enough then

[lean oracle]

Like you do when checking what channel u in

[formal minnow]

i know what im in

[lean oracle]

Then why post a van or a car

[formal minnow]

why dont ya shut it

[lean oracle]

@restive shoal look at this skill issue

[lucid birch]

Will be driving my truck saturday

But not working

Will be a volunteer with 2 colleagues at a truckers convoy for handicapped people.

Convoy of 100+ trucks

Around Nijkerk.

[formal minnow]

nice

im hoping im able to join those if near me

[raven gate]

feel like that would just suck to drive

also if you get pulled over your screweddd

[magic girder]

Drove prettu good actually, only problem was my trailer axles where to light

Dinner time

[raven gate]

there is a mc donalds near a truckparking space?

damm i need to find out where it is could come in handy when i drive myself

[formal minnow]

This isnt a truck parking tho

[raven gate]

i see trucks in the background

idk if its a parking do

[magic girder]

Thats a dealer that does damaged vehicles

[raven gate]

so the daf fits in the parking then yes

[magic girder]

But its a industrial area, so parking on the road is not a problem

[lean oracle]

Owh nice

[lean oracle]

Tbf if its not a major road and ur not fully blocking it cops dont care plus if u just taking ur 45mins by time maybe one shows up u usally already leaving or bout to

[magic girder]

Plenty of space

[lean oracle]

Yeah but was mentioning if it werent industrial, but yeah industrial usually has plenty of space

[magic girder]

Drachten- Azeven

[lean oracle]

Damn u walked all the way there, not drive closer?

[magic girder]

Wish i could tho

Walked enough todau

[lean oracle]

Xd

Tbf its good thing for truck drivers tough

As i mean thats most of the physical excercise we get besides climbing in n out and stopping at a gas station to get a frikandelbroodje

[magic girder]

In the work i do i tend to walk a lot

[lean oracle]

True u go lots of addresses

But still

Doesn’t hurt

Unless rain

F that

Then it sucks

[raven gate]

tbf if you are a driver and you have to get out for like 10 20 min its not that bad

i had it the other day it did not stop raining for the whole day and i was outside the whole day

its was a living hell

thank god im switching jobs

[lean oracle]

Earlier this week I was hanging side of building in the rain with cold wind gust and then the hail came and I literally can’t hide anywhere and shit so had to suck it up

[raven gate]

oefff hail is even worse

[formal minnow]

it does when ur body is fked

i cant stand for longer then a few mins

unless i can lean properly to relieve my legs of pressure of well

standing

[raven gate]

Your just old then

[formal minnow]

Im not

[gleaming zinc]

Bros 20 with the body of a 57 year old

Stretching is good for you especially after throwing 160 bales of hay onto a trailer and then unloading them

[formal minnow]

25

But yes body no good

Knees are bad and so is my back

So i basicly need to be able to lean to not be in as much pain

[formal minnow]

Niceee

[summer valve]

Wrong channel

[magic girder]

[honest harbor]

@light widget Although, you did indeed fix the issue,

Just a reminder, make sure to look at the channel names before you post inside of them, just so you have the correct channel next time :)

[light widget]

Sorry..

[calm parrot]

The swedes will know what this is
For the others im too tired to explain

[summer valve]

College graduation candy throwing party

[calm parrot]

It all went really good until someone from the street threw a confetti cannon right at the truck

Sounds normal

life changing quote

[lucid birch]

my gopro is ready for tomorrow

will put a gopro on my truck

to film everything 😄

[lean oracle]

Timelapse or?

Make sure if u stick it on roof to just run a wire to it so it cant die from empty battery haha

[lucid birch]

i can film for 2.5 hours

so for the run i should be fine

[lean oracle]

Nice

Added any extra flashy lights?

[lucid birch]

no im not a weirdo

its a worktruck at the end of the day

not spending money on it.

[lean oracle]

Idk sometimes u see em add christmas lights n stuff around the truck to it

For the ride

I mean i tried to add flashy lights to my car for the grill on work van

It involved either dismantlng part of radiator/unmounting crap or taking of the whole front bumper lol

[formal minnow]

Bumper is 5 mins of work

[lean oracle]

Nope

Would have to pull of like half the front end to get to some of the bolts of it lol

[proper elbow]

No where near done

Also gotta come in tomorrow to put some trailers in the docks for stickers

[restive shoal]

its a yard truck

its only allowed to drive on company terrain not on public roads

[restive shoal]

i guess its a euro 3 maybe euro 4 engine

no, we need euro 6 engines to enter most cities in europe, given its age it doesn't have that. and it would be cheaper to register it as a terminal tractor so they can keep it on the yard to do work there.

not yet

[formal minnow]

it can go on public roads

[restive shoal]

doesn't have a plate and you need a plate to get on the public road.

yes

[formal minnow]

perhaps it has one on the rear only

pretty sure it aint got one but yk

if ur running a trailer noone sees

and they arent going far

[restive shoal]

whatever the company gives me, but i hope a daf

[formal minnow]

im getting a iveco

company

if it was my own id never get a iveco

[restive shoal]

ye after i have some work experience, but that would also be a daf

[summer valve]

If I'd get a own truck, I'd be a Volvo or a Mercedes

[restive shoal]

daf > scania

volvo > scania

[summer valve]

Mercedes > scania

Renault > scania

[restive shoal]

scania > ford

[summer valve]

Where do I begin:
Unreliable
Uncomfortable
Looks
Interior
Volkswagen
Gearbox

[restive shoal]

im dutch i just prefer daf, a truck brand i've grown up with

also only special thing about scania is v8. volvo has 780hp with 3800 Nm, right @summer valve

[summer valve]

I don't really keep the V8 as anything special. Outdated technology. Volvo has more powerful engine with 2 cylinders less

[restive shoal]

i mean special as in the only brand that has it. MAN, Mercdes & iveco have had it in the past

[summer valve]

We can only hope that E7 will be enough for Scania to come to the modern age

[restive shoal]

all 'truckspotters' would hope not

[summer valve]

Scanias i6 engines are alright but the V8s are just

[untold trout]

1. The New generation ones, I agree, the old ones have slim to none issues mechanically, you just have to service them well and you wont have problems
2. For me literally one of the most comfortable ones
3. Best Looking truck, then DAF then MERCEDES
   4.IMO after DAF XG the best looking one
4. True
5. Scania after Volvo has the best gearbox

[restive shoal]

those 'truckspotters' are just kids maybe 12yo never driven a truck saying scania is best but only holland style

[summer valve]

I've driven a lot of Scanias, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 (ng). All of them had a lot of reliability issues, leaking engines, gearbox issues on opticruices, and electrical issues.
Mercedes Benz is by far the most comfortable truck manufacturer
Volvo, Mercedes and Renault all have way better looking trucks and interiors
Scanias opticruices are problematic gearboxes

[restive shoal]

i haven't had the chance to drive in a mercedes yet

[summer valve]

If I'd get a Scania V8, my main priority would be to piss off Scania enthusiasts, "never straight in a v8" windshield sticker and pride flags

[untold trout]

Do you remember what the gearbox issues were

like what got repaired

also you mentioned you drove scanias 3,4,5,6,7 NG what are those i dont know which ones those are

[restive shoal]

those are the series she drove

[summer valve]

Clutch and ECU afaik. Idk, I just drove them, luckily the Scanias were all replaced

[restive shoal]

osku would happily drive a scania

[untold trout]

Clutch is a common thing, it mostly deppends on the driver of the truck, if you drive bad as a high weight special transport driver ofc you will get some gearbox problems doesnt matter the truck

[summer valve]

Osku would happily drive a Renault

[gleaming zinc]

[untold trout]

ECU you really have to had bad luck

[untold trout]

ew

[restive shoal]

i'd take the daf over the scania in looks and cabin space

[summer valve]

I've driven Scanias 1.5 weeks in the last half a year. In that 1.5 weeks I had more issues than I've had issues with my Volvo in the past 1.5 years

[untold trout]

Daf has a nice bed

[untold trout]

still dont know what 3,4,5,6,7 ng is

can you declare

shes sus

Shes just a scania hater

[restive shoal]

look up scania 3 series, do the same for 4, 5, 6 and ng

[untold trout]

Oh she means the series

ohhhh

i get you now

[summer valve]

This proves that you know nothing about trucking

[untold trout]

I had a cousin here who had one on his kenworth, nothing ever happened. It eventually ripped from the wind etc. and that’s in deep Bible Belt Mexico

[summer valve]

Cry harder

[untold trout]

ew

[summer valve]

By colours? That's sad

[gleaming zinc]

bros offended by a rainbow

[untold trout]

it aint just a rainbow flag

that flags got a meaning behind it

and its not good for the average trucker

[gleaming zinc]

Y’all when colors: 🤬

[untold trout]

fugges up your liver I heard

So you have to take a medicine called religion

[summer valve]

And the meaning is that everyone is equal.

[gleaming zinc]

So then why cry?

[summer valve]

I love how these two kids are here being offended by a rainbow and telling us what trucks are good and what aren't

You don't like equality? Move to north korea then

[rich saddle]

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions, to which we should respect. Perhaps we should agree to disagree and move on to much nicer topics of conversation 🙏

[untold trout]

I think that Natalie should start to stop capping about her driving all scanias before and saying that all scanias are shit

[summer valve]

Telling opinion and being homophobic are two different things

[merry cave]

Things being said: End of this topic!

[untold trout]

where did he say anything about that paragraph

like that fits that paragraph

[summer valve]

Guess those in the background ain't Scanias

[merry cave]

If you love everyone equally, you wouldn't say such things.

But as I already said, end of this topic!

[untold trout]

I didnt catch where he said anything tho

regarding that paragraph

[merry cave]

You can, as long as you don't say such things.

[untold trout]

what did he say

[merry cave]

[untold trout]

aahahhahaha

[merry cave]

Do you know what I just told you?
End of topic means end of topic!

[untold trout]

Shouldnt you as a moderator give him the qoute of what he said that was wrong???

[merry cave]

No. I said you can have normal conversations. But when I say that you should end this topic, I mean it.

[merry cave]

If they ask for it, sure.

[formal minnow]

[merry cave]

I told them that it's fine by me to have a normal conversation, as long as they stick to the #discord-rules
But I just see that this isn't the appropriate channel for such conversations.

[blissful locust]

[calm parrot]

Im afraid of heights and gotta climb up the thing

[formal minnow]

Right

Just slide it off instead of climbin on haha

[turbid latch]

Just pretend that the ground is bouncy

I love climbing up the tank's rusty ladders without a safety harness

Totally dont feel sick doing that

[formal minnow]

Just had a adr barrel that broke off its pallet

Because surely a plastic strap will hold something of 200 kg in emergency braking

[calm parrot]

I crane on the container

And off

[calm parrot]

Im ok with heights but im scared of ledges and falling off

[turbid latch]

The drop is quite mad

I refuse to do loading and offloading without a safety harness thingy

[formal minnow]

Same

[lean oracle]

How y allowed to haul adr cuz u ain’t lol

[lean oracle]

[calm parrot]

If ur used to it thats a diffrent thing

[formal minnow]

[magic girder]

[formal minnow]

[magic girder]

Nope, all euro, but they where all stacked, each pallets was 1 item, some pallet where just 4 or 5 boxes

Some where 5 pallets in one go
