According to management most RDWY docks use flags attached to the dock to signal the switchers when a trailer is ready to move. At 671 several close calls have happened when a trailer has been pulled away from the dock and the workers are still in it!! I wanted RDWY to go back to the old way where the switcher actually walks to the rear of the trailer to see if it is ready to move. At this rate someone is going to get fired, seriously hurt, or worse. Is anyone else having these problems?? Nobody likes the idea of a trailer being pulled out with a forklift hanging out the back!! Something needs to be done. DS.
