It's got one, brother.



Just strap the wheel dollies to it and you're good to go.
I'm just going to assume that there's a warning buzzer in the cab* that warns "DO NOT DRIVE WHILE WHEEL DOLLIE IS IN LOWERED POSITION" to complete the OSHA effect of warning buzzers going off and the operator thinking "I'm only going 5 miles, NBD"


*my current truck has a buzzer when I deflate the rear air bags to lower the 5th wheel to get under a trailer. It's nice and reminds me to re-inflate the airbags before travelling. I had a truck without a buzzer, went over a big highway bump and destroyed the plastic part that attaches to a metal rod control arm that controls the airbags, and drove 15 miles going "why the hell is the truck handling weird?" Lesson learned.

I dunno, I've never heard that before and my American Subaru definitely has a warning in the manual about it.
I thought newer US cars would sense if the seat belt is latched and disable the airbag if the belt is not latched. Maybe that's just for the passenger side.

These are my thoughts on the recent shootings and how it relates to OSHA and if this gets me a 6er for politics in GBS then so be it.


There was a workplace shooting at the FedEx terminal in Marietta GA. Dude was fired, came back with a gun and killed the unarmed guards in the security theatre guardhouse and then went to kill his boss but they holed up and he killed himself before the cops got him. I was at that terminal a week before it happened, I was told about what happened while at the Missoula MT terminal because word travels fast, and a week after that I drove into the Marietta terminal and there was a police presence.

I told you that OSHA horror story to tell you this one.

My home terminal is Spartanburg SC. A few years ago one of the dispatch office workers was run over and killed by a switcher truck at 4 in the morning. At the time there was no company wide policy about wearing high visibility vests and radioing the switchers to say when they are on the yard. I learned about his death in Orlando from the dispatch office because word travels fast. Later that day I got to Spartanburg and there was a fire department truck dumping tremendous amounts of water on the ground to wash away his blood.

I knew Mike. When I started this SC-TX-FL run it was out of Greenville SC and Mike was one of the dispatch officers. Mike was affable and fun. Mike made the move to Spartanburg with some of the office staff and many of the drivers. One night Mike wasn't wearing a hi-vis vest and died. Now it is a company wide policy that everyone wears a hi-vis vest when walking on the yard and radios the switchers to announce that they are walking on the yard. Every time I get out of the truck I put on my hi-vis vest because of Mike.

OSHA regulations are written in blood.



Firearm regulations aren't written.

They can let the body decay in natural conditions so medical examiners can examine rate of decay for a body wrapped in fat and use that to determine time of death. In a desert environment the thick fat layer may slow down decay.

Well, yes. Sorry. I thought it was thread knowledge. Or maybe I'm finally that specific level of drunk to admit to it. I do know I skirted info about filming this sort of poo poo. Guess who in that video had a few too many bottles of wine at the wet mess with us the night before....?

EDIT: If it was ANYTHING Anglo, BMA, and a lot more I cant be hosed remembering from 2004 to 2012 I was on the ground filming then edited or produced. Going into PNG I was asked what I was shooting as all out cameras were smuggled in via our clients freight ships to avoid 'performer' tax. Good old mining company accounting, cost them more in my crew time waiting in our hotels and smuggling my camera poo poo, than just saying we are making a video. As ex-army they gave me a pistol as backup. 'Guard Dog Security' - those fuckers don't mess around. The story around the bar first night with owner (VERY bloody) he got jacked and shot way out. Second most dangerous piece of road outside of JoBerg or Detroit.

I do have a really serious memory problems so sorry if I have said parts of this before.

It's OSHA as gently caress because side windows are not windshields. Windshields are supposed to have objects bounce off like that and maintain integrity to protect the driver and passengers from objects flying into the cabin from the road. Windows are supposed to shatter into tiny non-sharp pieces so people can exit the vehicle quickly if the doors don't work for whatever reason.
