[QUOTE="ziffle, post: 56461"] Yeah, kind of. At least at our hub in Portland Oregon yard goats and tractors have to stop before coupling to a trailer that is on a load or unload door and look to see if anyone is in the trailer. Then notify them we will be hooking up. Then we enter the building to make sure the trailer and dock door are bolth closed before moving the trailer. Tieguy, I agree about the cell phone usage while shifting in the yard. It looks dangerous to me and has been banned since July of '05. The new safety rules took place then too. Safety vests, orange cones, lights and 4-way flashers on at all times, ect. At least in our hub AM/FM and CB radios were banned as well. Most of us in goats have been using them for years with no problem. The AM/FM helped us stay awake when we work the graveyard shift, and the CB's were nice to be able to communicate with the tractor drivers.We could ask them to spot their loads on a door or they could ask us to look up the location of their trailers on our shift comms, help hook their sets or whatever. <font color="119911"><font face="arial,helvetica"></font></font>} [/QUOTE]
