Ice on trailer roof blows off and hits our car

Oh, Mr. Gift, ...............
By readin' your reply to one of my posts it's quite obvious that you didn't read my post in question in it's entirety.
Or your readin' comprehension isn't up to par.
Either way Bob, I'm very disappointed.
How rude of you.
Do you ignore readin' warning signs as well?

How can you expect to be accurate or properly learn what is presented to you in written form
if you skim over or flat ignore the important points contained within the written form of communication?
And you call yourself a professional chimney sweep? :smt108
And expect us to believe you're really a voldumbtier?:smt104
Did I mention that I'm very disappointed?

One can only hope you'll get sued into non-existence for refusing to use a freely supplied traffic direction device if someone happens upon an accident scene you're at and either plows into it, or has to take evasive action too late because of the lack of warning they could have received. Perhaps they'll be confused as to which direction they should turn and instead of taking a safe detour to the right they turn to the left and plunge off an overpass, getting killed in the process. We'll all be able to watch with delight as Bob's house becomes the property of the victim's heirs because of Bob's incredibly irresponsible decision to not adequately warn and accurately direct traffic.

 

I think this thread has run its course.

 

I work for jb hunt in Newburgh ny. We have a neighbor called mondelez international, straight trucks, they deliver ritz crackers, Oreos etc and they have a ice/snow remover device on their facility.

They afford to install this type of device per se, yet companies like jb hunt, swift Schneider simply refuse to spend the money to install this ice snow remover.

The responsibility comes down to the owner of the fleet, not the driver, that has to remove the snow on trailer roofs. Being cheap ends up being expensive to costly litigation and potential loss of life.

 

Oh, just like the DOT approved flashing lights for oversize loads?

 

It has become a childish pissing contest.

 

That yellow arrow you refused, was also DOT approved for use.
You are asking for an accident, by refusing the proper PPE to reduce accidents.

 

You guys are something else! And you wonder why we have such a bad reputation with the public? This is the general public section of the forum, meaning most people asking questions in here don't understand a lot of things about trucking. Mr Gift has asked some questions that seem silly to those of us who know trucking, but if you'd bothered to read some of his other stuff, you'd know he's no idiot. I see far more idiotic questions asked by supposed drivers on this forum everyday.
You could have answered his question without jumping down his throat. Geez!
