Lumpers Service VS. Street Lumpers
By Michael Francis | September 13, 2007
Many warehouses are still barbaric and use lumpers from the streets to unload their trucks. This is a huge no-no and im about to show you the value in giving up this bad business decision. This could cost you your business! Lets start with the benefits.
1. If a lumper services lumper damages product on the dock the company pays for this. Bottom line no shrinkage. In contrast is a street lumper damages something and its of any value there is a very large chance you will ever see him again.
2. Lumper services sign hold harmless agreements with the warehouse and distributions services. If there is an accident it is the workmans comp. insurance of the lumper service who is liable for the liability. If a street lumper was to get injured he could sue you for everything you have. They are on your property without insurance.
3. Drug testing! A good lumper service drug tests all employees to verify that they are clean and it puts your warehouse at less risk. The street lumpers are independent the is no one governing what they do. If they were to come to work on drugs you the warehouse would be a fault.
4. Theft! A good lumper service not only background checks their employee’s but also pays for any theft that is caught on the property. The street lumper steals and if gets caught would probably run and you never see the product again.
5. Management System In Place! A good lumper service has chain of command and great management. There is supervisors and managers in place to assist with keep productivity levels at a high.
6. Productivity! When you have the same lumpers doing the same trucks day in and day out your productivity is going to go to the roof. Street lumpers come and go.
