Only one time? Used to happen all the time. Tell the unloader or loader to just sit down and hang on. Whatever you do, don't jump out of the trailer or you may break a leg and get ran over in the darkness.

Go slow, get out and check next time. Help find the guy in the trailer a new pair of pants.

Our spotters always walk back to the dock door and make sure it is a pull. Takes an extra minute but well worth the time to keep someone from being hurt or worse.

hopefully, you didn't damage the rollers or extendo, and only scared the loader in the trailer. It happens sometimes on trailers that are scheduled for a pull and replace. Sometimes the hub fudges when they call yard control.

Maybe the first time. You know when the spotter backs under the trailer something is going to happen.

It happened to me years ago, but I was on the other end of it. I had just started my shift (night shift) and was a feeder loader at the time. I was told to continue loading a trailer the previous shift had started. I was walking the extendo into the trailer as the P/T sup was carrying a load stand into the trailer for me when the world moved under my feet. Fortunately the extendo was only about 10 feet into the trailer so the sup and I were able to move before we got crushed between the extendo and the wall of the feeder.
He drove it about 50 feet then stopped. I leaned around the back door and yelled up "really?" The driver didn't even get out. He hung his head out the window annoyed at me and yelled back "Yeah, really!"
I lost my
and went off on him telling him he could have permanently injured me or the sup. He continued giving me an attitude for his up and said he checked the trailer, then proceeded to go to the break room to get food and a drink, then went to the bathroom then went back outside, got in the truck and pulled it without checking it.
@snakeman031465, everyone makes mistakes--we're all human, but that's a really dangerous mistake. Had the extendo been out far and you turned without driving straight ahead you could have crushed and killed anyone inside and could have broken the extendo/rollers/side wall of the trailer.
Please always check and double check to make sure the trailer is unoccupied before pulling it.
