had a 30 yr driver back into the dock today and i was assigned to remove 1 or 2 pallets off the truck so he could drop it in the yard.went over to trailer opened roll-up door and flipped up the plate.he had a couple of os+d cartons on the tail. i put a skid down and went into the trailer to remove the skid and felt the truck move.i looked real quick behind me and felt and heard dock plate falling and knew i was in for a ride.truck rolled away from the platform almost all the way across the yard!needless to say you know where i wound up...........down in the pits with the forklift............this driver failed to apply the brakes and left it in neutral and got out of the truck and walked away. thank god i was able to walk away from this,except for the time i will be on modified work and my back and neck and bone chips in my elbow i know how bad this could have been................
