","text":"Lmao 😂 \nI just did what I thought was right while being careful and I went with instinct. What’s crazy is the gates are not supposed to let up until both trains have passed. It was a malfunction but it’s still my fault. Big companies don’t care about an individual. Only their pockets.

","text":"I know a guy that works at a different company that actually went over tracks he knew were humped to where he had to hammer it to get his low slung trailer across and went he started over had to stop because of a car coming and guess what, load and trailer were total loss and so was the train. Still has his job, not driving but as the dispatcher now.","replyToPid":390280}

738350 发表于 2020-07-23 15:27:48 That’s exactly what I thought. No contact with the train at all. When I proceeded forward slowly, I seen the train coming, I put it in reverse and as I’m back up the gates come down on the hood and rip my hood mirror off. What was I supposed to do? Sit there and wait to see if they could stop in time?

{"replyTo":"","text":"Oh I agree with you. I would've done the same thing. But, the dumb thing everyone says is all accidents are preventable. No kidding, that's why it's called an accident.

Yours should've been lessoned learned, next time you'll be wrote up.","replyToPid":0}
{"replyTo":"","text":"I don’t think the DAC reports identify fault, just loss. I’m just guessing but I think they want you to do steps to prevent loss of property. I don’t know what you could have done differently but that’s what they want. I’m not sure what that looks like on a report. Might look bad to have been damaged by a crossing gate. ","replyToPid":0}

984141 发表于 2020-07-23 16:13:02 sometimes if there is a train on the tracks close enough to the crossing but stopped it can trigger the gates, they let up, then immediately go back down. if you just take off when they go up they can come back down on your truck and you break them.
","text":"Yea, it did break off. They came out and had it back up in less than 10 minutes. Arm just popped off. Didn’t break at all. ","replyToPid":390282}

","text":"I don’t think you’re understanding what I’m saying. You’re talking just like my company. I didn’t just take off. I pulled up slowly when I seen the gate let up all the way. There was no more blinking red light. Being my first time there, how am I supposed to know there was supposed to be another train coming the other direction? Especially when I can’t see down the tracks. ","replyToPid":390282}
