[QUOTE="retiredTxfeeder, post: 1434616, member: 52978"] One more. We had a revolving door of security guards. There was quite a bit of stuff for them to learn and a lot of time they just threw them out there. Came into the yard with an empty pup. A 28' drop frame with a roll up door. Back then we had hand signals we gave the guards. Thumbs up, a load and thumbs down, an empty. Empties, they never even got of the air conditioned shack. A guards first night. I gave her the thumbs down. I rolled up to the phone and am talking to dispatch when I hear something go BOING! and I feel my whole rig shudder. 10 seconds pass, and it does it again only this time it comes with a shaking followed by a boom! I hang the phone up and I see the guard come around the rear of the trailer towards me with a big set of bolt cutters they use to cut the seals off. She seams real proud of herself. I asked her what the heck did she do? She told me "I cut your seals off." I told her I didn't have any seals, it was an empty! I went around back of the trailer and she had cut the cables on both sides of the door that go up the door and into the trailer and coil around a system kind of like a garage door. If you cut these, the whole weight of the door is down. No way you can even pick it up. When she cut those cables, they were under such tension, they flew back inside the trailer. They probably have enough tension on them to take off a limb. She cut not only one, but both of them. The shop was not too pleased. [/QUOTE]
