[QUOTE="MaceFremonti, post: 1493841, member: 36696"] Feeder Tip #6 ALWAYS pay attention and be aware of your surroundings! Last night I am patiently waiting for a shifter to finish what he is doing on bay 32. Not sure if he is dropping a trailer or pulling a trailer as he was already backed under the long chassis when I pulled up. He is not in the shifter and I wait for a minute or two for him to appear. He is nowhere to be found so I setup and put my pup on bay 31. As I am lowering the landing gear, standing quite close to the long chassis next to me, I hear the shifter startup. He quickly punchs it and starts to pull the trailer off of bay 32 with no horn tap or signal to me that he is doing so. At just about that instant I released the container door that is now quickly moving my way is not secure and starting to swing outwards since the trailer is being pulled off the bay so quickly. The swing door passes inches from my face as I press myself up against the side of the pup and it somehow misses the side of my tractor as the shifter makes a hard left and speeds down the 200 row....door swinging as he goes. I just stood there thinking WTF? Good help is hard to find. [/QUOTE]
