Please pay attention
survey the area you are driving around when it comes to parking lots and dock areas.
Be careful when making turns to clear things like fire hydrants and light poles.
This morning I had to go to Freezer Service of Michigan for a business reason, and in the parking lot was a truck that didn’t see the four five foot bright yellow bollards and the hydrant in the middle of then but tried to take it all out.
I have an image of it but I can’t upload it for some reason.
This happened in a huge huge lot, lots of room to turn around in.
What I was told later the driver left the dock and didn’t pay attention, didn’t clear the bollards while making a very sharp turn into it mid point of the trailer. He left some of the trailer skirting and bet he damaged the trailer enough to compromise the integrity of the insulation.
Please survey the area you are in
