    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.

    So...if he barks once, then barks again to tell you to keep going, is that two barks and you should stop? :scratch:

    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.
