That is really good to know now. I'm so glad that you have put that out there for us to be aware of. Thank you so much. Tbh the only thing that I was aware of from a Trucker is how much I money I could make from him lol.

    I had a flatdeck driver the other day wait until I pulled up in the forklift to hop out of his truck and unstrap. Could've easily had it done while he waited for me now he's putting me behind schedule. Boy was I annoyed. I agree, loading and offloading wheb drivers are still in their cab, and a lot of times I'll wait for them to get out. I'm pretty seasoned with a forklift at this point and don't need a spotter but it's still nice to have someone keeping an eye, shit happens and we all know blindspots in some of those bigger forklifts are a nightmare. I've also had drivers get out after I loaded and insist half of the load be rearranged for other customer pickups. Nope, kick rocks, you had 20 minutes to get out of your truck and tell me that.

    Aye had a banksman killed on a site I worked, before I got there.(I'm on Tower cranes). Managers had site take a 2 minute silence, as a reminder, construction's a dangerous caper. Banksman parked the truck, told him to unstrap. Plan changed and they wanted the truck moved so the Tower crane could unload the steel, rather than forklift. Load fell off the side whilst in transit, killed the banksman alongside.

    Oh! Great question! Some times depending on how the load lays out or how the beams are, they’ll make the chain link stick at the edges. So alot of times when you hit the link it will free up the slack in the chain. People not knowing that and go down the road without checking chains.. most of the time when I get to my destination all my chains are still just as tight as when I left!
