we were somewhere on long island at a hospital making deleveries....i was out watching CB back in...it was like an obstacle course.. this was at Fed Ex Custom Critical with our 323" wheelbase Pete....the lot and buliding were under construction...it was a nightmare in there....he is backin up...i am on the ground watching everything...this man walks DIRECTLY behind the trailer..with his back to it walking toward the dock ..so in the same direction CB was backing up....where CB has NO chance on seeing him....i see him and get try to get him to move....to no avail....get CB stopped...then explain to the man he is gonna get RAN over if he doesnt move....he GOT MAD AT ME.....go figure....

 

almost makes ya wanna let the process of natural selection run its course sometimes

 

Late last summer we dropped our trailers the night before on the jobsite and the next morning we met the crane crew so I pulled up straight to rehook to my trailer. As I am backing up with my hazard lights flashing I get about 20 feet away from the trailer and a guy with his head down reading a clipboard walks right between the truck and trailer from passenger side to driver side. As soon as I saw him in the mirror I stopped, set the brakes, hopped out and asked him "What were you thinking?" He was the safety man for the manufacturing plant.

 

Sounds like he needs to go re-learn the definition of "Safety"!

 

He was attempting suicide by truck . What else could he have be doing?

Rolling the Smashed Pumpkin

 

No, he was only fooling

 

last year the same accident happened in Kugansk, Ulraine, on Coca-Cola terminal. ZIL-130 driver smashed man in loading dock, bet he survived and no he is OK.

 

I was in Texas backing up to a dock, I seen the guy inside "waving me in". Obviously, as I got closer to the dock, the opening disappeared.

As I lost visual with him in my mirror I knew he lost visual of me, did not matter I back into docks all day long like all of you and did not need his hand signal to keep backing.

Now I do not mean to upset anyone here, I am not a believer in a higher power, EXCEPT THAT DAY!

After I got closer to the door, something told me "I bet that guy jumped in between the trailer and the dock so he can get back in my view".

So I stopped,

There he was yelling and squirming, he was BARELY pinned and wiggled his way out.

He was not hurt, just shook up, took me a while to calm down, my brother who was in the sleeper, woke up to see what was going on, he had to bump the dock for me because I was so shook up.

Again, I do not know what made me stop, but I am glad I did!

By then everyone from the dock and the office was out seeing what happen and could not believe how lucky the guy was.

This was back in 1996 and I remember his face and every moment of that incident clear as a bell to this day. It was probably the scariest moment of my driving career.
