Blade Hauler Mishap

triplesix knows more about their policy, but I do know if you lose the ld., you are pretty much toast there.. There have been a few opps where the ld. came off and they kept them. Me I would of fired them on the 2 deals I know of.
Plus they then had another blade trk. crash into his buddy at the trkstp.
Plus one mty. blade trk. hit a object on the jobsite.
Last I heard was 9 opps in 11 days.
All blade trks.

 

I hope I'm not insured by the same company they are; my rates might be going up.

 

Self insured on most of the claims, up to a certain point

 

maybe they can start their own 2 bladed windmill farm, since they are wrecking one out of the set of 3......

 

Like the working girls say, " Good service isn't cheap and cheap service isn't good."

 

From what I was told he only had one 5/16 chain on the front.

 

If that is the case, then he is a special kind of stupid and deserves every book that they throw at him.

 

Ive been to one blade place(Corpus Christi port) Are they not(ATS) required to have so many chains on before leaving the yard?? Its hard to imagine just being comfortable with 1 chain on there.....

 

Having been involved with ATS on their wind projects, they have some guys that do some real sketchy things when it comes to load securement.

 

Now everytime I see another blade hauler, Ill always think of this story and eye his securement!!!
