    Considering the rating on the ladders I doubt it. You would be incapable of operating the equipment above that weight.

    A driver might be required to obtain samples through the top hole, as well as sealing, being above the rating of the ladder would be a violation of OSHA regs.

    Do ya' think a company can make their own rules, or what? A 365 lb. tub of lard climbing on top of a tanker, if he falls, they don't want to repair the hole in the concrete, right?

    I would think if you hit that weight, you wouldn't be looking for jobs that involve physical work. I know there are a few exceptions out there but they are what that is likely for. The three guys that want to do tankers that weight that much.

    Working tanker will do that especially if you do local work. Imagine flatbedding!!

    Most states are "At Will" states and they can fire or hire anyone they like.

    Since they can refuse to hire smokers. What would make it illegal to NOT hire buffet busters ?? Both are health issues.

    yes but these places claim to be equal oppurtunity employers

    seriously, thats not equal oppurtunity.

    But it was a tanker company and maybe they dont want the trailer collapsing if you climb on top
