    When my company was having me sleep while my students were driving, I was running teams when I was asleep and training when I was awake.

    He didn't. Trailer is still at an angle yo the dock which is not osha compliant. A compliant has been entered and safety critters are on the way.

    Yes this is proof positive that they didn’t teach what you needed to understand!
