Yea, the lift fork through the package, and a tire mark across one is a bit extreme. Having seen how the stuff is handled at a hub, can you imagine how things go at an airport? In bad weather? There are reasons these things are kept out of site for most people.

The shipping industry is not the only profession where the details of the real processes are generally kept out of the average persons site. I can think of a lot of stuff that is normally done during the course of a day in many professions that I really don't want to know about. Often its better to understand that there are times things don't go according to the plan, and its usually much better if we really don't get the know all the little details of the plan and accept sometimes things go wrong. The problems occur when we don't want to pay for things that go wrong with other peoples plans, and they expect us to. Gene
