OOPS!!

Just another day of Stupid with these Mega Training Companies, CRST will have to add another 5 pages to there Training manual on how to approach a Cat Scale. This was at the Pilot in Des Moines.

 

Driver will probably sue because there's no guard rail .... And make money on the deal.

Missed both sides too !

 

Ah I missed the days when I hauled paper rolls for georgia pacific. Their scales? Youd better open the door and make sure them tires are close to the guard rails. Its not a big drop but the suspension will hit the rail.

 

Perdue has some #### narrow, awkwardly placed scales as well. I don't miss 'em - literally AND literally again.

 

They let them loose too quickly. But even so, this is an embarrassment.

 

To train a driver to be solo ready, it should take at the minimum 6 months or a year. I hear, they can make them trainers after 6 months. I say it from my experience, things i did were horrible ---- lack of long enough and adequate training.

 

What is Scary is with there past history, this could be the Trainer.

 

Imagine the destruction that would ensue if you put that driver behind the wheel of a real hood like a W-900

But that's okay. The driver was multitasking at the time so these things will happen. That text was pretty urgent.

 

There was a wrecker behind CRST as I took the pic, he wrecked something, saw the truck later at the shop that's there, I saw the tire was off the rim, not sure about any suspension damage.

 

It very well could be the trainer, these megas have people with 6mos experience training. It's a recipe for disaster.
