This is why you always shell out extra for the top of the line towing plan from AAA, because when you need that 200 mile tow....

I thought the railroads still worked in a odd area of the law.

18 years ago when I first started working for them I couldn't sit still in my seat after sitting for 15 minutes. Today, I can sit for 6 or 8 hours, alone with nothing but my thoughts. Because they have "in-cab cameras" and you are not supposed to read, use your phone, nap, or do anything else but just sit there. I get their want for cameras. But enforcing distraction rules even when nothing else is going on?

I guess I will adapt to this the way I have adapted to everything else. It is like being in a sensory deprivation chamber. Can people adapt to those things? Just saying.

I just look into the camera and break out laughing and pull this poo poo myself:

WHERE WE ARE GOING, WE DON'T NEED EYES TO SEE.

idk about ships but trucks and trains yes.

The answer is "Yes" Huge loving fine if you get nailed for running around with a unlocked container that isn't safety wired or ziptied.

Also note that doesn't stop retards from doing just that. I almost pulled a JB Hunt out of his cab when he tried to fuel next to me with a container that had shifted half way off his chassis. Both back pins where out and the can shifted a couple feet over. Guess he was too busy ordering nachos on the phone to see or feel that big of a shift.

the chassis has 'locks'. zipties are supplemental.

if you safety wire the twistlocks on your chassis, i would probably ban you from the terminal. safety wire, coat hangers, etc are a major pain in the rear end to remove.

You got $2000 bucks? It's $500 a corner.
