Malarkey portland oregon

That is a bunch of malarkey!

 

An adult supposedly has the intelligence and physical ability to remove him/herself from a hot vehicle. A small child or animal does not have that ability, so therein is the reason for those laws. If you sitting in a warm location is uncomfortable for an hour or two, might be time to get an office job.
There are saftey reasons for asking for your keys. Some idiot truck driver before you pulled out of a dock with a loader going into or out of a trailer, so if they have the keys, you won't have the ability to move the truck.
It is nothing against you personally, probably by the locations insurance carrier.

 

I'll hand over a set of keys, but they won't be the keys to my rig, aint happening....I hear what you're saying though.....

I loaded lettuce one time, down in Yuma, AZ and was helping the guy who had just got done loading ahead of me put up his load-locks....We were almost done when his dipstick partner decided to pull out away from the dock...Well, I was able to jump back on the dock, but this guy takes a header out the back on the ground and on the way down he snapped his ankle like a matchstick.....To make things worse, the load-lock came down and hit him in the coconut too.....It was a good thing the guy didn't roll back into the dock either....Yeah, that was a bad day for him.....His partner comes back and says, "I thought you were done"....He was done alright....

 

I loaded there a couple years ago when I was pulling a stepdeck. They didn't do that then. Is it just for people loading or unloading at the dock?
