[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1326389, member: 52978"] Every piece of equipment that ups uses, from an irreg train, forklift up to a tractor trailer is equipped with a parking brake. It needs to be second nature. rising up off the seat, raise it with your left hand every time. Cutting corners on this job will get you on the unemployment line. That being said, I've had equipment roll because I forgot to pop the parking brake. Luckily it didn't move very far. That was because I was senile, not cause I was cutting corners, though. Several years ago, we had a feeder driver build a set on an outbound door, get out of his tractor, hook up his dolly hoses and charge the back box. Not only did it roll with a loader in the rear box, but it rolled over the driver and crashed thru the side of our concrete walled car wash. He was out over a year recuperating, but he didn't get fired, he came back and retired later. Good luck in your instance. [/QUOTE]
