[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 417678, member: 12912"] when I was a P/T preloader, maybe 2004, I was loading a 24' vehicle with only a 1/2 step up and large gaps between the vehicle and dock. Difficult to explain, but anyway I ended up walking down the platform and having my leg go through the hole. I was also carrying a package out of the vehicle at the time so it was very awkward. landed on my butt so hard on the dock I never screamed so loud ( all my weight came down ). Whoever said your ass was the largest muscle and could take pain never felt pain like this. Anyway, there was a brand spankin new platform installed the next day (encouraged by heath and saftey I';m sure), and I was moved to the unload. Yes, it was my fault for falling through the crack and I was a liability, yet they replaced the inferior wooden dock with a solid one with no holes and later explained that it was a liability and all the others were upgraded except that one.
