Lumper
In short
A lumper is a warehouse worker who unloads your truck. For a fee.
In plain words
Think of it as a private dance.
Getting in is free. But every minute of 'service' comes with its own bill.
Same here: you arrive at the dock, and nobody unloads for free.
Usually it's $100 to $300, sometimes more.
You pay on the spot, and the broker usually reimburses you later. But only with a receipt.
Lose the receipt, and you just gave the warehouse a gift.
Your turn
