[QUOTE="olroadbeech, post: 4571624, member: 52145"] I agree 10000%. Our airport was so strict I'm surprised they even let us drivers do the backing. We had to pass classes to get certification before we could get thru the gate. Sometimes there would be a panic because dispatch couldnt find a qualified driver on a Saturday morning to go after a long night. It was about the only time I didnt get pissed off to be asked to bring a trailer there. The airport crews were topnotch professionals. This is everyone's worse nightmare. We had a feeder driver who killed a pedestrian one night . He was homeless and they thought it was suicide. the driver was never right after that. he was the nicest and one of the funniest guys beforehand. But afterwards started having a drinking problem and almost lost his job several times. When I worked the yard with him during peak I'd try to give him pep talks and staying with the job so he would retire and get a pension. He had a family to think about. he would go off in t he shifter and disapeer in the back for a couple hours .We usuallylet him alone. god, I hope this driver gets some help. what a tragedy for both families. wish I could do something more.
