July 11, 2013. Americold Logistics 1740 Westgate Pkwy Atlanta, GA. Apparently the driver did not scan his right side before turning into the customer.
The entrance has since been remodeled with a higher reinforced curb presumably to prevent this from happening again.

And apparently the new curb has not helped according to the guard shack personnel.

Let me say nobody is perfect, everyone makes mistakes, his mistakes was obviously he didn’t take the turn wide enough. We all learn from our mistakes(hopefully). Before you judge him, remember you made mistakes too and you didn’t get judged for them. How can one judge when he makes mistakes himself. Stay humble everyone

Your response is misleading, to begin with. Of course no one is perfect. That has been a fact since man has been civilized. There are mistakes that are obvious and mistakes that are made due to a lack of training. Who is talking about judging anyone? Unless you were in the cab while the driver was making this turn, you need to step back and move on since there is nothing you can do to help.

Not being facetious here.I felt kinda bad for him.I absolutely positively know that within 3 months he is going to bang something. I can only hope that it's in a trk stop so as not to be at a high rate of speed when it happens.

While there are drivers with all the major companies that should not have their CDL, the companies with the better training seem to have less accidents.

yup there’s a warehouse that i know that has one loading dock and make things worst it’s right next to a 7 lane street with a middle turning lane in the middle. you can only approach from south to north and back up in a angle going south west. drivers usually park right in the middle turn lane and wait for all 6 driving lanes to clear so they can get angled blocking almost all lanes just to back in the dock. this dock is also right next to a busy intersection. sometimes they be seating there waiting for an hr or more unless they get lucky and the cars stop to let them do their thing.

It is important to get good training. The one thing that any trainer should emphasize is that when backing or turning corners, you do it slowly and WATCH THE MIRRORS. If you aren't sure, get out and check. You arent saving time by ignoring these rules and winding up like this poor driver.
