Wasn't there a story a few years ago about a model of CT scanner or something that would randomly emit death rays if the operator pressed the wrong sequence of keys? I tried googling it but just get clickbait articles by Scared Parent Weekly with titles like ARE CT SCANS BAD FOR YOUR SPECIAL LITTLE ANGEL??? e: I mean a different story from the one above, I remember seeing adults with burns.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Yea blaming an unsecured load on a driver regardless of the reason is pretty dumb. That could just have easily been a minivan full o kids and you’d still slam on your breaks the same way. Rollstock can only be secured with rubber friction pads on the floor.

SpaceCadetBob posted:I am not a truck fuckler in any way shape or form, but checking out: https://www.fmcsa.dot.gov/sites/fmcsa.dot.gov/files/docs/Drivers_Handbook_Cargo_Securement.pdf 45000+ lbs of rolls can fit in the nose of the trailer (like they did here when the load shifted) as long as you don't mind blowing your tires and snapping a landing leg. The friction pads are the OSHA/FMCSA-approved securement method for hauling 88"+ rollstock. Each of those rolls are 98" high and contain about 7 miles of paper, they simply have so much mass that the only way to reliably secure them is to use their own weight, regular load restraints and air bags won't do anything to stop them from shifting. The really terrifying thing is how many owner operators I have seen delivering these that had no idea what was on their trailer.

SpaceCadetBob posted:Yea I feel this. Would strapping the individual rolls together have helped at all? Surely a few 4" straps around them could have helped a bit? Keeping the rolls together runs into the issue of having 45000 of fixed mass in the same spot on the frame. The tractors and trailers are already specialized for mill work and are marked as such, but there's only so much mass you can put on a piece of equipment before you run into trouble. Another problem is that the roads tend to move faster than they did 20 years ago and the new generation of trucks can stop a lot harder, especially the lighter mill-spec units we use. That's one of the reasons we haven't turned up the speed of our trucks like some other carriers have done to combat HOS restrictions. I mostly work in telematics and compliance, but that doesn't stop drivers from asking about turning up their trucks every time I'm in the field.

Uthor posted:I'm not a fan of shaming as punishment, but this seems harmless and funny enough to get a pass. The Sterling trucks at the freight terminal I used to run could be keyed with Ford blanks, this made it easy to create a bright pink and glittery Hannah Montana branded office key that I would hand out whenever a driver forgot their truck keys at home.

Stanley Tucheetos posted:As someone who works for this company I'm not surprised at all by this phrasing. Management will spend 30 minutes trying to talk you out of reporting an injury before calling a first aid responder. At the same time they will bitch at you for potentially making a plane go out late due to said injury. My favorite UPS memory was one time when I was running the tower controlling the belts to the primary and secondary sorts I noticed a jam on one of the belts. My leg was broken from falling off of a ladder a few days before so I couldn't climb down and break the jam but luckily an IE (tech support) guy was there with me and he jumped onto the moving belt to break the jam with his foot. As the jam broke his foot got stuck in the boxes and pulled off his prosthetic leg. I stopped the belt to let him recover his leg and hop back to the ladder- at this time I caught poo poo from my boss for stopping the belt for too long.

MrYenko posted:I was on the sort aisle one night and got showered in dildos when a box of them broke open on a transfer belt above us. A lot of crazy poo poo went unreported or got swept under the carpet there. The worst I heard of was a mason jar of nitroglycerin falling off of a belt in Albany. I heard about it through the grapevine from the business development manager but never saw an official report. Worst we had at my place were coolers full of live bees and buckets of dead pigs. We also had a bounty for information on a 70lb Gatling gun that disappeared in the hub.

PHIZ KALIFA posted:and, before you ask? it's a normal tomb. nothing creepy or bad or horror related about it at all. just a nice, safe, normal tomb, without any wandering monsters at all. It's not uncommon for excavators to find unmarked graves- you just need to know that if the police/city are called your project will be put on hold for a long time. Depending on the crew you work with they will usually make it go away before involving the authorities, but be prepared to grease the wheels if you have to- pay in cash if possible.

The reason I know this is that our house marker is a recycled gravestone from the 1930s- when we were building the town inspector saw it and mentioned the amount of graves in the area that he's seen get churned up during construction projects, and the complications of involving certain authorities vs just reburying somewhere else.
