You can't hang those things earlier because trucks that need to turn left/right at the intersections will bump into it all day long. Also that water curtain is a pipe dream and won't work at all during the daytime. We've been through this all before people!

Persistent Hamprince posted:the trucking industry is pretty hosed up The only way you'll deter that behavior is to suspend the trucker's licence on the first violation and fine whoever they're hauling for, and revoke the commercial driver's licence on the second violation and levy crippling fines on the company. I doubt most of those "cowboys" are doing it because they're just feeling that badass, they're doing it because their employers are setting up unreasonable schedules, and until you make the company gun shy they'll keep doing it.

Memento posted:It's a hire truck, so I assume someone at the hire office looked at his license. Don't you get your license physically taken away if it's suspended? I don't know how true it is, but in the Youtube comments, somebody said the truck had air brakes, which means you need a CDL to drive it, which means it was probably leased to a company and not a person. So somebody's about to lose their job.

TVs Ian posted:I don't know how true it is, but in the Youtube comments, somebody said the truck had air brakes, which means you need a CDL to drive it, which means it was probably leased to a company and not a person. You definitely don't need a CDL to drive a truck with air brakes. The L restriction on a CDL means you didn't take and/or pass the air brake part of the CDL test and aren't allowed to drive a commercial vehicle with air brakes, but having air brakes does not automatically classify a truck as a commercial vehicle. Penske will actually rent you basically the same truck with different weight ratings. Both have air brakes, as they note all their medium duty trucks do. CDL: https://www.pensketruckrental.com/commercial-truck-rental/commercial-trucks/medium-duty-trucks/22-26-foot-box-truck-CDL-required/ Non-CDL: https://www.pensketruckrental.com/commercial-truck-rental/commercial-trucks/medium-duty-trucks/22-26-foot-box-truck/ The non-CDL truck probably has a different rear axle and rear suspension (but maybe not, sometimes they're just rated lower) and that's pretty much it. What gets really fun is that depending on the state it's sometimes possible to legally drive a commercial vehicle for personal use without any special licensing. At least here in Ohio the same part of the law that exempts RVs and emergency response vehicles from CDL requirements also has these two parts: ORC 4506.03 posted:(7) A commercial motor vehicle that is operated for nonbusiness purposes. "Operated for nonbusiness purposes" means that the commercial motor vehicle is not used in commerce as "commerce" is defined in 49 C.F.R. 383.5, as amended, and is not regulated by the public utilities commission pursuant to Chapter 4905., 4921., or 4923. of the Revised Code. Which seems to say that if I was able to convince someone to hand me the keys to a Freightliner with a 53' trailer I could legally use it to move myself with just a standard driver's license. wolrah fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Jan 4, 2018 |

The "overheight must turn" sign is bloody stupid design. Something like, "DANGER: STOP! Your vehicle is too tall to proceed!" and even flashing lights maybe would be a thousand times better. The sign they have right now is too passive, drivers don't realise it refers to them, so they keep on driving.

This is sometimes true, however, I worked at a trucking company where this driver is employed, and I knew him personally (I quit there over a year ago): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZKgOYGP0aY I can tell you from personal experience, he's a moron. A complete, utter, idiot. Like, "how the living gently caress do you still have a CDL" level of idiocy. He constantly bucked every single DOT rule whenever he had the chance. I'm almost certain he barely received any admonishment from the company, and "the accident" became part of the "hilarious hijinks" that the drivers toss around in the driver's lounge. Many times it really is just that "the trucking industry is pretty hosed up". I maintain to this day he should've been fired on the spot, but, nope, he still works there.

Yeah, insurance covered it from what I know. But the question does remain, how is the guy still driving? This wasn't his first "incident" either. I mean he broke trailers like I've never seen. For what it's worth, that company is hanging on by a thread at this point, and I don't see them lasting past the second quarter this year. They'll be bought out, I'm sure.

Gorilla Salad posted:And if the signs don't work then they're bad signs. Let me tell you something about signs. At my last job, there was a door that some repairs were done to and it needed about 2-3 hours to cure. We posted a sign saying "PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR" in 72-point type. Customers still came through it. We added a traffic cone in front of the door. Customers still came through it. The engineer on duty drove screws in around the door frame to physically stop customers from opening the door. 20 minutes later, the screws had been torn out and customers were coming through the goddamn door. We put three signs on either side of this loving glass door, put an orange pylon about 4 feet tall directly in front of it, re-screwed it shut. We taped caution tape across the frame. When I went inside to put caution tape across the inside of the door as well, guess what greeted me through the glass? A motherfucking customer tugging on the goddamn door handle and looking angry as poo poo when I wouldn't open it for him and told him to go around. Do I need to tell you the moral of this story. Would that be good stuff.

Was working at a client site that was closed while we did our thing. Signs taped to every individual door on the outside, on the inside doors of the vestibule, and signs on stands inside and out that the building was closed, go to X instead for help. People still came in and were confused that poo poo was torn apart while a bunch of trades people in PPE looked at them like the idiots they were. I walked some lady back out and pointed out the signs (it contained the address of where they should have been going instead, this was a professional setting not retail) and the dumb bitch got indignant with me about it. People are the worst.

PLEASE USE OTHER DOOR is just a request though. You can't let the public make choices like that. The screws should have worked though.

When I was running casino security we had a regular customer who shot 2 cops and then escaped. He then stated he was coming for revenge against a list of people. For safety reasons and due to lack of staffing I had the second entrance to the casino locked and posted an officer on the remaining door to greet customers and keep a passive eye out for that guy who shot the cops. We put big signs on the door that said "USE OTHER DOOR" and yeah, people just don't loving care. They'd tug at the door, knock on it, scream to get someone's attention. The other set of doors was on the same side of the building a short walk away. Unrelated to doors but after a remodel we found out that the fire extinguisher cabinets were not properly mounted when someone bumped into one and it fell into the wall. Not just leaned backwards it actually fell into the wall and down into space. We had to have a contractor come tear out the bottom of the wall to retrieve the cabinet. During that ordeal we checked all the other cabinets and none of them were mounted. Just sitting in a hole cut in a wall. Also someone stole our AED and no one knew about it for months. The person who was designated to check the battery level on it once a week had just been lying and saying it was charged. I never went to independently verify his claims so I guess that's on me.
