Check and Use Your Trailer Brake

the maoster:
Are we really at the stage where everyone doing whatever their job is needs to be spoon fed instructions on exactly how to do their job?

That’s exactly how it is nowadays mate unfortunately.
I often laugh when I hear ‘‘Can’t do that, had no training’’. :smiley:
It’s the exact opposite end of the spectrum now to when we started when as a yong lad you were given keys to a motor with a strange gearbox and a flat trailer with 3 sheets rolled up, and sent to load sheet and rope up the thing in a ‘‘Just get on with it’’ scenario.
It’s a good thing that things have changed in that respect but it’s got to the point where many drivers need to be told when to breathe in and out ffs, …initiative to them, is just a word that they can’t spell.

As for this case…I don’t know the full circumstances, and it’s a tragedy that this lad has lost his life, but it proves that all this modern micromanagement b/s does not always work, and that accidents will always happen whatever.
