    TOTALLY inexcusable.

    The moron opened the trailer doors, and a pallet fell out behind him. Then, he backed first the trailer, and THEN the tractor wheels over it after getting a running start.

    It looked even better while three of us watched this in complete disbelief.:rolleyes:

    And, to add insult to injury, it was MY freight to deliver.

    At GFS he would have been charged with an accident. You run over your two wheeler for example and it's an accident and a strike against you.

    Did this guy get charged with a preventable accident?

    Mack what's the story behind those guys with the straight truck off loading freight using the lift gate? That was screwed up.

    Can't say I know that one either.

    I discovered that on another site by accident.

    I wish.

    Like I said to the TM the next afternoon after I marched into his office to raise hell, not only did he do something so unbelievably stupid but he then decided to DOUBLE DOWN on "stupid". :banghead:

    I really hit the ceiling when I found what was left of that product sitting behind my door. :mad:

    Good lord, some of these folks are too stupid to even be called idiots! Makes you want to punch them, but you'd likely break whatever it is you are smacking them with...

    I am sure that dude had every reason to run over that freight like that. We got drivers like that too... but they come from barns where they are protected from being called out. You don't tell them boys how to run... They snap air lines, drop trailers, drag landing gears till they snap sideways... But they are covered from being called out. Question them enough about it and they will get into your face and blame you for the accident. Gotta love it

    Huh pretty cool.employees tell your managers because they say next year these babies will be 10 years old and on the market. Mine is the one with the fog lamps. The one with the white bumper has no speed limiter.
