Rookies mistakes happen take your time and breath

I’m never too proud to show my screw ups guys and only believe about 4% of those “perfect” drivers. I’m not saying they don’t exist but some just never called safety and told on themselves haha. Anyway just a light hearted post to show mistakes happen and it’s not always the end of the world. This happened at Coca Cola in Houston first day off of hometime. Bumped the dock and was told to slide tandems. I asked receiver/ secretary lady 3 separate times if it was safe she said Yes! very adamantly Start sliding tandems and forklift guy comes RUNNING out!. Y’all know the rest, lookie loos, people being Nosey it provides excitement for the day. At the end of the day forklift guy was given write up for not following safety protocol, he was supposed to lock my red line and I’d been in dock 30 min and his forklift was parked on the dock plate (wrong location)and most importantly my DAC remained safe! Keep it between the lines Rookies, Vets and lifers.

 

For sure! It’s one of those lessons you either learn the hard way or learn from older drivers while shooting the breeze.
