If you work a wendy's you are going to have to learn A computer system to clock in and out of your job. Are they being cheap by not having somebody to man that computer? Only lazy ass truckers would complain about having to do anything that isn't strictly sitting in a truck. Every other job nobody questions having to learn company specific system's.
I only know the computer of the specific yard I go to. If I was one of those contractors that deliver loads I wouldn't be too happy. You can't expect a driver to know 15 different computer systems, one for each yard they may have to deliver to. But then again, I don't know how logging contracts work, if they only deliver to one mill or something like that.
The issue is these guys don't work for the lumber mill. They work for the logging company. This would be like if you went into Wendys to get your lunch only to be told you need to make it yourself.
There's a "paramilitary" style of safety boot that laces-to-fit, but zips on/off on the side. When I have to travel through airports, they save a lot of time. I double-tie the laces so the fit is always perfect. PPE should be comfortable and completely fit so you barely know it's there ... until it saves you.
I used to work for a lumber mill here in America, and the truck drivers never followed any of these procedures 😂... well except for the slow speeds and ppe
i do refrigerated pallets and find myself constantly doing a fucking storemans job or supervising forklifts trying to find my loads in someone elses cold storage sheds.. shouldnt be my job
A truck driver is responsible for his load. This place does seem to leave much of the work to the trucker but I wouldn't be surprised if this system didn't come about because of truckers abusing the older system.
when a truck comes in pulling a trailer full then unloads the driver will lift his trailer onto the back of the truck so the trailer doesnt have to be towed saving on trailer mileage and can get to his next destination without worrying about towing a traielr
this seems way to hard, compared how to works here in sweden, almost the same at the weight station go in on the computer do the stuff. drive to the loader, wait for ur turn while u wait u can unhock the straps over the logs so the loader can easly take ur logs of ur trucks.
I laughed at their safety items they said you needed to wear while watching the driver leave his truck face first instead of using 3 point stance as I was taught to do. I have actually seen a video of a driver leaving face first face plant at a fueling station, which is why you should go down the other way.
I don't know whats worse!!! 1. I will never drive a truck onto any logging site let alone this one so I didn't need to watch this 2. I watched it anyways :S
OK i log with my dad i can come everywhere with him and i wear crocs and no hat, i dont know why its so complicated and you have to do all stuff yourself!
Theweescot the have cables or rope. Just remember this video is in Canada. Here in Alabama these drivers would get a ticket for being stacked over there log supports.
Wow some of the comments here really show how ignorant the person's posts about job site safety is. DON'T always rely on the integrity and condition of equipment around you. Without OSHA the job's would be more dangerous and building's would be substandard built.
Wearing a vest and helmet in the scale house is one of the silliest things I have ever heard. I mean you afraid the roof is going to fall in. OSHA/health and safety is one of the stupidest over bloated government agency's out there. And they cant see how stupid they look requiring these items that can't even do anything for you.
At the point you are at the scale house your load is still secured therefore nothing would be able to fall on you anyway therefore as Joel said it's one of the stupidest requirements possible.
Joel Martin I agree, OSHA has gone to far on some things. Few of my friends work for the county, they have to wear hardhats for everything. Mowing, weadeating, driving a tractor.
Joel Martin over bloated but can jack u and ur company up. Osha making a new push to make the individual liable too meaning u get fined not just the company so wear the ppe or face osha wraith
Protective Equipment is there to eliminate injury from unseen dangers within a workplace. Your in an environment where loose cargo is stacked above your head. Never 100% rely on your equipment, because if equipment can be built, then it can break.
So you take the pink card, print the crap on the back of it, then take another pink card, write what is printed on the back of the first pink card to this card, then you take another two pink cards and write the same crap on them (or copy them, but that printer has no pink color, so probably write it all again and again) then staple one pink card on the logs, one pink card goes probably to the box (nobody said that but it probably goes) and then you keep one pink card.. What do you do with the pink card that has crap printed on the back of it - nobody knows:) Some put it on the log, some put it in the box and some take it. Some say, that some truck drivers use the pink card to shit - its a very popular activity, in which the goal is to shit on the pink card so much, that it is all brown. The biggest of truckers can totally shit over all three of these cars, taking a stance on the government check:DDD
do you pay the trucker to do all this bullshit? maybe pay someone to deal with the computer work. Truck driver shouldn't do anymore than remove cables and get unloaded. We make shit money as it is and shit like this is why its probably the worst hourly wage of any job. all this shit takes time and for the majority of us were paid by the load. pisses me off i struggle to make 20$ n hour because all this bullshit everywhere i go
