North of London | Tried finding a link to the story but none found.
About 10 years ago there was an "accident" at a grain receiving elevator in southern Ontario.
Someone raised the truck hoist too high or the truck was not locked in correctly or....
But behind all the excuses 2 or 3 farmers died and another was crippled when the truck came off the hoist backwards and ran them down including a tractor waiting in line.
Booze was found in the pockets of some of those dead farmers and elevator workers.
Result is there are no more truck hoists in Ontario elevators.
Flat trailers are no more.
hopper bottoms or hoists on the truck or you get to shovel after the rush is over.
Booze and machinery is not a good mix.
I am enjoying this life too much to waste any of it in an alcoholic haze.
