    It was a 53 yea Im sure the doors would be bulging out I think my buddy didnt pay attention he is also a short dude the handle is face height. Some of our trailer doors are looser than a 20 dollar hooker because of this. Iv ran into this myself but im smart enough to stand back and give it the hammer and it pops pretty good. I just seen him right now eye is black and shut for a couple days.

    There are safety chains on most trailer doors. You've probably used them to tie a door open before backing into a dock, but they can often also be used before opening a door to limit how far/quickly it'll open when freight is resting against it.

    I had a SAMs club load to Corpus Christi from new braunfels tx & when I arrived at the store, thankfully it was just paper towel but the pallet fell out when opening the doors...I took pictures of if and showed SAMs club dc when I returned and they were not happy to say the least about how it was loaded.

    The shipping mgr in office stated that they were going to make sure that doesn't happen again... Whether or not they did anything is anyone's guess.
