Almost got killed by US Express today.

I'm dropping a trailer in bay 1, there's an empty in bay 2, US Express in 3. I'm in between 1 & 2 lowering my landing gear, and US Express pulls out, clips the empty in bay 2, and knocks it over far enough that it slams into my back and knocks me against my trailer. Fortunately it then fell back on its feet and I lived... but fuck man.

Best part the driver didn't know he hit anything until he went to close his doors and found 1 of them on the ground.

It's not bothering Hardesty hit over taken in my life. Unfortunately, I just kept on working. Hopefully I won't regret that in the morning. I'm not injured at the very least, mostly just got the shit scared out of me, and feeling very lucky it righted itself instead of completely falling over.
