Why not use a shovel, like everyone else?
Why should road users risk death, because a trucker is too lazy to make sure his vehicle is safe to take out on the road?
Moistyboo could have been killed...
They have these things called ladders. The trucker is responsible for the safety of his vehicle, not other road users. Would it be OK if it were an unsecured load? No. Same thing applies.
An unsafe vehicle is an unsafe vehicle. As a professional driver, he should know better.
where's he gonna get the ladder?
Note: I've been to several thousand truckstops. I never saw a ladder for sale or rent.
or shovels for that matter.
I've never seen a truck that pulled a van (the trailer type in question) that was set up to carry ladder. (or a shovel)
Well, this was a small trucking company, but I've been told by many of the bigger trucking companies, their trucks are not allowed of the yard until they have been inspected they have mirrors to check the tops of the trailers.
fun fact: the typical lazy trucker works seventy hours a week. At the end of the day they don't go home...they sleep in their truck. They don't have ROOM for shovels and ladders.
Fun fact two: trucking in the USA is one of the tenth most dangerous occupations. (Cops aren't even close). The most typical injury they receive (and cause of death) is falling off their truck.
