As a retired truck driver I can promise you this involved looking at a cell phone.....

[@d-obvious]

or rolling a fattie for the road 😉

[@HomerEscobar1]

It was a cell phone for sure, bet the farm on it. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that works for me is on the retard tiktok. Doesn't matter if they are 20 years old or 60 year old men, I cannot stand it. I would fire them all yesterday, but there is nobody else to hire, EVERY ONE IS ON THEIR STUPID TIKTOK

[@BIackCadillac]

@hue bolser What else is there to not pay attention to? All I see out here is fellow drivers fucking around on their phones. Shit I've seen them watching movies while they drive.

[@TheRealRuthless]

Agree

[@BorisFett]

One time is a mistake, second time is a pattern. Being the boss sucks sometimes.

[@danonotinthelionsden]

Trevor is a different flavor of example. I'll say an awesome burrito, (because he's Arizonian, what that is) laced with ghost peppers. Probably many could learn from.

[@stntmn99]

Do like my old boss used to. If you actually SCREW UP (not paying attention, stupid driving etc..) You get the S*** detail for awhile! (I had an incident, dumped a rear trailer of baled corrugated.) For 6 months, I was in the shop power washing trucks and trailers, washing the dirtiest parts when working on engines (By hand), weed pulling, etc.. I did anything I could to get back on the road. Never had another accident with that company in 20+ years! ALso, ended up with the nicest truck of the fleet!

[@dewaynem559]

My dad hauled hay since the early 50s everything was loaded and unloaded by hand he retired from hay because arthritis in his hands,right when they invented the squeeze he's 97 now

[@kurtislarson704]

I feel your pain the struggle is real! I think that guy’s relative works for me! You can’t make up some of the things that they do.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

I wouldn't fire him but I definitely wouldn't allow the breakfast stuff. This ain't your house you eat before work.

[@danonotinthelionsden]

Now I'm not s wiseman, yet I'll shed this wisdom. A better man is a better man for the day. There's multiple contributions to this...one is, that man will take more pride in his work, he'll want to be there. Can be that one to stay late, because he's appreciated. Now the otherside to this is, does he know why he's there as well? Use your dick skidders to establish some funds. Establish bearing. Don't be quick to anger, EVER! Utilize your rational thought as a MAN. This is your time to shine as leader,...Lead. Be wise of your example...some people fall backwards on their own swords.

[@danielhathaway6000]

Lighten the mood , I rented a car in Goodyear a couple days ago , not familiar with the area my GPS sent me west out of town on my return trip to Yuma. It was evening and I was driving along and I says to myself , I recognize those barns . Aha , Bales Hay Farm , I watch the videos during my winter vacation in Yuma . I am a retired rancher/ row crop farmer and I love seeing the wrecks and totally understand the frustration of the stupid accidents , fortunately nothing was too broken. The broken stuff is where the time and money gets serious .

Too busy watching bone head truckers

[@Camoboy70]

THAT was my thought too. Force them to put their phones away. So sick of seeing people texting and driving, including Truckers. I almost had one run into my rig just last week, and I could SEE him messing with his phone while he drifted right toward me.

[@cindykeller9668]

I would of fired that driver last time.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Lol.

[@Unknown_Ooh]

Shows how terrible of an employer you'd be. Fire your employee after one mistake. A second accident is sufficient grounds for firing unless the first accident was serious or someone got hurt.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

@@Unknown_Ooh the last time the driver was literally trying to cut corners and fell off a bridge. Put yourself in the shoes of the person who has hundreds of thousands invested into the business. If a driver is willing to cut corners in someone else’s equipment. It might be a sign to let him go. Accidental accidents are very different from laziness accidents.

[@Nattyrute]

CDL drivers are a dime a dozen, you need to get you one with some experience on the road.

[@Rusty_Nickle]

@@Nattyrute no they're not. You can find anybody to drive a truck. The problem is finding somebody to drive your truck that actually gives a damn. Those are the guys that know their worth and they're not a dime a dozen.

[@marshalsullivan1311]

Just my opinion but any employee who makes excuses for messing up instead of owning the mistake is not worth keeping. I have had a few and they only are out for themselves not the business. Cut ties and find a better employee.

[@brianshelburne7680]

I would have left him to clean it all up. Also doing what he does on the clock is very disrespectful to an employer. You know what you can afford to do.

[@ko9446]

I work part time as a truck driver, I’m a retired heavy equipment mechanic. There was a employee who only did half of his route and said he did it all. I was surprised he still had a job. The owner said he showed up to work, better then what usually shows up for interviews. I’m lost….

[@koryleague8833]

Now he can do all of his "business" on his own time. Good on you for not losing it on camera Trevor. I would have

[@kentwisco2113]

I agree with the comments that he is being VERY DISRESPECTFUL of YOU!! Doing all that breakfast BS on the clock is downright stupid. IF you keep him on, he should be docked the time it took to reload plus all the time it took everyone to stop and help get it back on the road. Plus if there was any damage to the trailer, he would be docked that too. Then after it was all paid back, then consider firing him!

[@benmisner6457]

Everyone has a bad day but 2 in a row somethings up

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

What bothers me most is his lack of accountability. None of the accidents were his fault. I have a guy that has messed up a lot! But he owns them. And has a good attitude.

[@kevink4914]

Better to loose on drivers side then the other side into the water. That’s probably why he was hugging the driveway on driver side.

[@gerrylarson3675]

Dump him , he's been dumping you, on the clock. The trailer is just like the hay fork, things happen. Breakfast and bathroom duty is theiving.

[@dannyc1657]

[@ronnieam33]

It was probably a good thing the hay was NOT strapped because it would have flipped the other trailer and truck too!

The question is, did he even ever apologize? If he's doing all that crap after getting there, sounds like he's busy wasting time at home, on his phone, etc-probably up all night, the night before, and after waking up. Most likely, what he was doing during both incidents.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

Funny you ask that. No, no apology. Just excuse. “Not my fault, sun was in my eyes”. Other time. “Not my fault, the bridge was too weak”. Weird, no one else has had a problem at either spots.

@trevor Bryan from Oregon IMPORTANT! kzbin.info/www/bejne/jKDPZKmshLhsi8U Answer to your question! = Your "skid steer quick-attach" style couplers is same as kubota and other machines. Your components are missing the ---safety stops--- at 5:22 when you push down the black levers to lock the pins onto the attachment at ground level, that beveled locking pin is only held in place via coil springs, therefore if your attachment is too heavy, if you push down hard with forks, or backblade with snowplow....the weak springs will travel upwards, overwhelming the whimpy springs, and allow pins to let go of bottom of attachment...thus it falls off suddenly! To fix this you must weld in 1"x1"x1" square steel blocks to stop the pins from being allowed to travel upwards no more then 3/8". The "stop blocks" act as a safety, the only way the locking pins should ever be allowed to travel upwards is if you pull on the black handles and the pin rotates out from underneath those stop blocks. basically a solid square of steel is all it is. Do not try to add more springs or shim them tighter, it is fruitless. you must weld in stops that just barely let the pin swing clear when you push/pull the handles. This advice is free but will save the life of your child or employee when your attachement falls from high above. I would randomly lose my pallet forks for years before I finally figured it out..

Actually to be a great farm worker takes years of working along with some one who has done this for years. The trainee will see all the dos and don'ts. That is true with operating front end loaders hay baler and hay rake and hay cutters. Driving a truck tractor with doubles that requires a skill that requires working with angles and a very good manager of often very limited space. Just any one who has a Class A commercial drivers license may not be what you need. I figure there was something that distracted your driver? What was it he should have saw the problem before the hay started falling off the trailer. It goes back to working with angles and managing the available space.

[@BalesHayFarmandRanch]

No, he was looking at his phone. He was on a straight line path and wandered off the road.

[@diafasshat]

the amount of crap i've seen some people do with truck and trailer with the several (not few, not many) years of driving experience i have... people wrapping their trailer around light poles, going through parking lots they have no business being in and trashing cars in an attempt to get back out, driving up to a fast food drive-through and ending up demolishing the side of the business (because apparently reverse doesn't work in their brain), and of course dropping trailers off into culverts/ditches... but i think continuing to move forward when you can't see what you're doing is definitely at the top of the list for stupid mistakes i think what may have really happened is, he was taking a nap or paying attention to his phone while driving and didn't want to own up to it so he used the "the sun was in my eyes" excuse to "explain" what happened... because i can't believe someone would actually be stupid enough to think "i can't see anything, but i'll keep going anyway because (whatever)"
