[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1263701, member: 42691"] In the old days, this problem would have been dealt with by other drivers, and that person would never do it again. We have plenty of burners in feeders who cause problems for the rest of us, but no one runs to management to say anything. We talk to these burners to warn them that they are one accident away from working for another company, but rarely does it work. We had a burner, who is known for not pre-tripping tractors and trailers, go to the railyard and pick up a 53' container. He just backed up under it, hooked up his hoses and took off to a city hub about 45 miles away. He got to the hub, dropped it, and took off. The next driver hooked up to it, and noticed that the front of the container was 6" away from the front of the chassis. He walked around to the back of the box and noticed that it was sitting on top of the pins! The original driver never bothered to check to see if the pins were in the hole, much less to lock them in. He's fortunate that he didn't kill someone by losing that box on the highway. But he's a burner, his numbers look good, so he never got written up. If he loses that box, he would no longer work here.
