VIDEO: Have a nice day, now!

We’ve all had bad days at the office. But sometimes, as in the case of heavy equipment operators, your office is a rather large machine, the ‘bad’ can be disastrous at the least and fatal at the worst.

As this video shows, a machine driver can be literally thrown out of his office if he or she is having a bad day.

At 2:20 into the video, we see the results of what would normally be road rage in any other machine but a material handler.

Near the end of the video, we see how the consequences of a small bump in a warehouse can have big repercussions.

So, drive safely today. And have a nice day, now!

What makes the drivers in these video vignettes believe that their machine can, and should, do what are asked of them? For some drivers, it’s a simple case of a balancing act. For other drivers, it is likely a case of ‘get me out of here’, not knowing how they got into such a mess in the first place. So if you are a motor grader operator, don’t try these stunts at home. And if you wish to keep your job, don’t try them on n
