    Of course, we all know you’re being coy. Naturally, you would never show up dressed as some unsavory pauper, missing only the “Will work for food” sign, right?

    My last trip to the jail I wore tan colored shorts, and green Tshirt with Kermit on it, " It's not easy being green " was the saying.

    In my opinion, yes. A forklift can fall, possibly killing the operator.

    Once you are backed into the dock, there's no reason to pull away. Stay put until you hear from someone.

    Believe it or not these things happen quite frequently at warehouses in some cases to eliminate that possibility the drivers were required to hand in their keys to the receivers. and put wheel chocks in front of their wheels.

    Never pull away from a dock until you receive confirmation directly from the forklift driver himself that it's ok to leave.

    I usually peek in the gap between trailer and the weather seal or warehouse door and verify the rollup dor is closed. I even used to carry an inspection mirror so I could see into trailer in certain circumstances.

    Well, I'd be in trouble. Only got blue jeans. Well, I wonder if they'd be OK with pajama bottoms? I got a couple pairs of those.

    Many refineries and chemical plants do this. But they know that I have another key in my pocket. And I bet you do too.
