Absolutely a true story: It happened at a customer's site last night and I was there today. I will post a picture when I get a copy tomorrow.
This customer receives bulk materials from tractor-trailers by lifting the entire trailer, dump truck fashion, to an angle of sixty degrees. The materials then fall out the back. IIRC, a trailer of this type is 36 feet long. So,the SOP is that when a truck pulls in, the driver parks in the appropriate spot and disconnects his truck from the trailer. He or she also operates the lift from a little shack about ten feet away. Well, this poor guy forgot one little thing. Guess what that was? :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: He forgot to disconnect the trailer from the truck. He never realized what was happening until the truck came crashing down, nose first, when he bounced the controls a few times to clean out the last bit of material.
What to do when you drop your truck twenty feet? Get in your car and go home with not a word said. :uhh:
