Usually I tell everyone never to work alone if they can avoid it, now do I follow that no but I should be since us owners are no different then the employees. I cant count how many times ive had to stop on the road side alone to fix straps, etc... and how many close calls Ive had with tractor trailers coming within inches, cars not slowing down and moving over like there required to do in Maine for any emergency vehicle including tow trucks, and roadside assistance vehicles like I use when hauling vehicles or metal.


I think that may soon change since anything can go wrong at anytime and above are two good examples of no matter how your trained anything can go wrong from falling to even medical emergencies. Usually there not something you think about into it happens, but I would rather make the changes now if it can help prevent another accident or even worse here in the future or at any of our other yards, or company owned properties I would rather do it now then receive a fine for anything or even get sued.
