Rolling over railroad tracks.

Recite the DOT regulations for haz mat railroad track stopping before, and not on.
Even if you were not carrying HM.
Company safety person probably is a nincompoop

 

Check -- & double-check.

Rayville, Louisiana. If you look at a satellite view, US80 runs parallel to i20. There’s a high rise RRXX that runs right between 80 and 20. The big town intersection is at US485 and US 80. Sudden death for car haulers and lowboys. They get hung on the tracks and murdered by a train all the time.

The safer way into Rayville is to go 1 exit east. High rise track is still there, but not as high. There’s a stop sign there like OP dealt with. You cannot stop. You will get high centered and then scrambling to get the train stopped.

I would rather you run that stop sign all day than stop on a track. But in typical stupid mega carrier Braindead ain’t never been anywhere but has an answer for everything safetyman fashion, he’s more interested in justifying his existence than public safety. Truck cattle prod nanny cam calls me out. I call you to verify and you say stop sign RRXX conflict, You should thank me. But then, public safety is not on the agenda, is it?

Good job, hand. Six back quiet.

 

While your explanation is indeed rock solid -- my experience suggests that MOST safety personnel in charge of such:

• Live in a bubble
• Sit up high on a pedestal
• Have NEVER driven a truck
• Will develop too much wax in their ears with such an explanation as those previously given
• Hold all "the cards"
• The camera is "ALWAYS right"

You need to take this higher up the food chain. The company needs to know they have somebody firing drivers for following the law.

 

Same reason you are prohibited from shifting gears while crossing tracks.
We were told, since we are an all auto fleet now, to put trans in manual mode for railroad crossings to prevent it from shifting.
