[QUOTE="bluehdmc, post: 527434, member: 18471"] Something very similar happened at the Meadowlands (NJ) a number of years ago. I too feel for the driver and the gentleman's family. There's a reason for all those safety rules, and people don't pay attention to them until someone gets hurt. You might get away with something 99 times but that 100th time it comes up and bites you. I was spotting a trailer on a door and was putting it on the wrong door, the sup jumped off the dock to tell me. After I put the trailer on the right door I went in and chewed him out for jumping off the dock and for being in the yard without a safety vest on. What if I had realized my mistake, didn't see him, and ran him over? All this for packages!!! None of what we do is life or death, granted do the best job you can, but we're only talking about packages! Let's all go home at the end of our shifts. [/QUOTE]
