Ok as I've mentioned before, I work at a big food warehouse and we handle all their semis and the scale. Here are just a few reasons I give semis plenty of distance on the highway.
When you first pull in there's a huge driveway and a little grassy area that our guard shack and water house set on. The warehouse is behind this area.
Idiot #1 pulls in and somehow his trailer manages to hit our brick water house and he literally takes down an entire side of the building. He had to go over a concrete barrier and take down a guard rail to accomplish this. Insurance guy said there was over $10,000 in damage.
Idiot #2 is pulling away from the guard shack and makes a sudden sharp turn. He takes out the guard rail in front of the shack, slams on his brakes and hits the corner of the guard shack. If he wouldn't have hit the brakes at that moment he would have crashed through the entire thing, and there were two guards inside at the time.
Idiot #3 was checked in and assigned a door at the end of 2nd shift. About an hour into my shift (3rd), the Supervisor calls me.
Apparently this guy went to area the door was at but wasn't actually in the door. He's about 10 feet in front of it, parked crooked, and his doors are still locked. Supervisor went out to find out what was going on.
The guy practically fell out of the semi, and his eyes are rolling in his head, and he proceeds to piss all over himself. Supervisor tells him to back straight up into the door, and open his trailer doors, so they can unload him.
Guy gets back in the truck, proceeds to take down an entire fence, the trash compactor and a dumpster before he finally gets into the door, and the supervisor called me to ask what the hell he should do. So I call the cops, and apparently the guy wasn't drunk so they couldn't do anything. Don't know what happened to the guy but apparently he left our property without destroying anything else.
