    Those sheets are expensive. If you break two or three of them, that's enough to pay for an entire day of day labor to unload them the normal way.

    An even better solution is to get your materials delivered by someone with a forklift. Where I live that's 84 Lumber or Hayne's Hardware. Both do a great job. Some of their lumber has more curves than a rally car race, but the customer service is great.

    15 sheets per 10 seconds... so, he is running at 90 sheets per minute.

    Yeah, the mess that ends up afterwards. I remember working at 15 years old where a shipment of lumber came in in a remote location with no one to unload. The driver cut all the metal straps and dumped the entire load. Not his fault. And a lot of work to do all on your own. My cousin and I spent two days in the rain sorting through the mess.

    This would again be quite the mess.
