Climbing in and out of trailers

Saw this guy unhook from his trailer drive around to the back opened this driver's door and stepped right in...

 

My last wabash had handles in different locations, foot on bumper and grab handle to pull yourself up . Some of these truckers are so out of shape that even with handles and precautions they still get hurt .

 

i used to call the local fire dept each time. they'd send over the bucket truck, lift me up and i got to get inside.

seriously, man, use the darned ICC bumper, put one leg on that, then use your knee to get inside.

as for roll up doors, i tied a length of rope on the metal handle.

as for when i did flat bedding?

i called in the US Army, and they sent me a Huey.

 

foot on ICC bumper. i am not 27 feet tall.

then i put my other knee into the trailer, then lift up.

easy-peasy.

you even a trucker to discount that method?

48 years, worked for me.

 

My flatbed has holes at the back i can use to grab. Both feet on bumper and pull myself up

 

you just don't know how it is done. you're the expert, i'm out.

 

Hate to see some of you have to climb a chemical tanker and then walk the catwalk to tighten the washout caps!

 

That's why you get paid the extra cash and company has your insurance coverage just in case..
