[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1160285, member: 31608"] [b]Re: Driver almost killed me today, I threatened to sue UPS if it happens one more tim[/b] I won't disagree with the loudness of the yard, or what not .. but if you bang on a trailer, if anyone is inside they can not only hear it, but you can feel it. As to if they bang back or not, that is on the soup; when I first took the unload job, no one would reply; I instructed my employees it is for their own safety, and they had to pound back - no questions, no exceptions. Simple knock, simple response; if there is an accident, that not only is the responsibility of the feeder/part-timer, it is now on me (the part-time soup as well). I'm not saying everyone acts this way, but that is how I ran my unload - shifter did not even hook up if there was anyone near the trailer or a load stand inside it. edit: And, as to hooking up to the wrong door ... a feeder hits the trailer, and if the guy inside can't tell that someone just hooked up .. there are deeper problems at play here.
