    I got to meet that driver when I did repair work for them. He seemed like a good hand, just one of those crap happens deals.

    I have met a few of the Turner guys and never thought anything but pretty good guys. I was only referencing that they are going to run out of steerable 13's pretty soon

    I hated that too when I did it.

    When the load came off, the sign would get removed, rolled up, and stowed in the tool box.

    Fencing isnt bad, you just have to make the effort and take the time to belly strap them between each bundle.

    Probably not the safest load but I would put that down as operator error on the forklift driver. If the load made it all the way there and then fell over when it was being unloaded it couldn't have been that unstable.

    A bad forklift operator can make a load of plate steel fall over.

    it says the engine is 7 tonnes, then it says it's an over weight load. Am I to understand that 14k is too much weight?
