I'm not buying it.
Why is safety standing so close? They need to back off and 1 man guide the operator.

Yeppers, turned off my ad blocker and seen a FB ad and went ahead and followed it.
Still, the the linked FB post there is no mention of the driver hitting the containers. It was hit yes, but not by the driver.... -

Seriously, try it sometime. Go ask a safety person something simple, like whether the tandems should be forward or back when driving empty in high winds. Or whether it's OK to use jake brakes when descending a 7% grade in Colorado after the plows and the salt/sand trucks have groomed it. Or whether it's really true that the yellow curve speeds are for cars, not trucks. (Hint: that's a lie. Go look up the DOT docs. They set those for about 5 mph below what's safe for a truck, because they know trucks will tend to go about 5 mph faster than the sign, and cars will go about 10-15 mph faster.)
It might make them mad, but who cares? It's not like anyone ever invited the safety folks to their beer party.D.Tibbitt, Roberts450, 201 and 3 others Thank this.
