Garry, I guess he actually works against me, he's always tearing something up or down as the pic shows. He drove into the fueling canopy at one of our stations with his boom up higher than what is shown in pic. He knows now, not sure what the outcome was at this mornings meeting with the union and management, but I'm sure he'll end up being promoted or something crazy. I'll try and post more pics as I get them.
Mikeh1, I'd be ok with a desk, as long as it's a small desk in another state and maybe another country. I'd try and post a pic of the driver but don't want to get into any trouble.

Humph?
Wonder how he got a commercial license? And you say he has done something similar before, sounds like it's time for drug and alcohol testing to me; or does the union forbid that too?
G.R.

G.R. I'm sure he had to submit to alcohol and drug test yesterday right after this happened, if he didn't he was fortunate. But I don't think he even drinks. He's just a numbskulled dolt. I've had to replace the same mudflap on the same side twice in less than 10 minutes, I didn't even ask how he managed to yank them off. I could write a book on some of the stuff this one guy has done since I've known him. I'm sure it has to add up to over a $100,000 worth of damage to equipment and or property, company and private. We've got a couple of these guys at each station it seems, and somehow they manage to keep their jobs.

manicmechanic, I too work in maintenance, and I get very frustrated with the cowboys they are hiring these days that call themselves drivers. I think back many years ago when I had this Fire hydraunt dart out in front of me. That was 18 years ago and I've been accident free ever since. Later Don

Yep, I hear ya Don. I just received these pics from my supervisor. This truck was used to auger the holes in the ground for the poles, then sets the pole in the hole. The operator appears to have hit the primary wires with the pole jaws, and luckily jumped free of the truck to avoid any injury. I guess they have their cowboys on the electric side of our company too! Scary stuff.

Garry as far as I know the electricity did all the damage, which was arcing through it for about an hour and a half before the power was cutoff. I was told the mechanics on the call had to cut away alot of the bins because they had sagged down into the wheel wells and to transport it they needed the clearance.
