    That video never gets old. What I want to see is them trying to close the trailer doors after they pulled out. I’m sure hilarity ensued during that also.

    That’s certainly understandable. Lots of foot traffic there. Not a lot of that going on at 3 in the morning at truckstops though. Unless you’re on party row

    Actually kind of wished I had one maneuvering through gas stations all day. I just pump the breaks hard a couple times before I move, usually gets them to run.

    OSHA requirements are set by statute, standards and regulations. All federal jobs are required. Guess it depends on the companies safety awareness.

    Same here. Didn’t have one when I pulled flatbed and had zero issues. Even at job sites in Canada, where things seem to be more strict, I never had any issues.

    It would have once the profamity started flowing.

    No one can be allowed to be that stupid for that long. If the video had a volume on it. It would have cost money to "Bleep" it out.

    No beeper on our CAT 936 wheeled loader.

    Just a plant wide big mouth on the back porch "Youse look out for that DUMB&^% Deafie SOB always in a hurry!"

    Since there is only one of those, sorting out is easy for the whole plant.

    Don't tell anyone, I'll do it again for free it's not work to me.
