Thanks for the replies folks. I’m not HIAB trained so I’m generally driving curtain siders and open/drop side trucks. As you know, some of the dirt tracks can be several hundred yards long and so walking it first to check it out is not really an option so you don’t really know what’s coming until you arrive at it.
I suppose the first thing I should do is check with the management of the business that I’m working for on that day and hear what they have to say about it, it’s their vehicle (or rental vehicle) at the end of the day.
I think I’ll add it to my ever growing long list of things to check/cover now that I’m commercial driver. Thanks again for your comments.
