Do any of u Heavy Haulers set up orange safety cones around the outsides of your truck and trailer why loading or unloading heavy equipment at job sites?

I was told by one construction foreman I had to. Which makes sense to me.

I was wondering if I should start carrying orange cones.

if you cant see truck and trailer getting loaded or unloaded YOU shouldnt be on the site. over here they want you to have hazard lights going on some sites if it that bad you would think you should have them going on the road.my N.Z.2cents worth

30 years of heavy hauling and was never asked that. I used to have a cone on the truck but just because it made a good funnel

I ran eq in and out of jobsites for 5 years for a rental house and NEVER did such a silly thing!

I've used them only when loading in the road but, my personnel opinion is that if you can't see the big as* truck with all the flashing lights you shouldn't be driving.

I do need to say though that I would carry some maybe five or six. They can come in handy sometimes. Like when the rookie driver runs out of fuel in the busiest intersection in town and you need to block off a extra lane for the mechanic.

I have been hauling to construction sites for many years and it has never come up.

this happened in Manhattan, NY

maybe because i was in a big city with tons of people

Union job requirement maybe?

Were you working in a public area or on a fenced in jobsite?

Heavy haulers have the highest rate of Coneicide.

You might see them rolling down the freeway, making a flap-flap-flap-flap-flap sound.
