I see many many guys stand behind a trailer when it's between 2 other trailers to motion a drive in the dock. When stupid people do stupid things like that they just ask for it. If a truck is backing I will NOT go behind it.

Odds are it was the codriver I've heard of it happening before. I know of one occasion where a guy crushed his own wife and killed her.
-
Thats terrible dude, thats why I got my dog trained to back me into the dock when I need it two barks means you gonna hit something, one bark means keep going.
-
So...if he barks once, then barks again to tell you to keep going, is that two barks and you should stop?
-
Yea that gets me sometimes I'm going to have him use his paws to stop me and signal me to keep going...Injun Thanks this.

Doesn't have to be a dock- how many times a month do you walk between two trucks at the fuel island?
S-Q-U-I-S-H !! -
I always make eye contact if one is in the seat. The guy in front, you'll hear him release his air or the brake lights will be on. I have my guard up.
I've heard 4 or 5 stories over the years of drivers getting crushed in the parking lot tail to tail. You'll never see me cross like that. That's got to be a horrible death. -
Ruff!! Crunch ! -
Nothing more to say other than a Horrible way to die!
Travelinman Thanks this.
