• City Driver/Dock Worker, ABF Freight, 3100 Springhill Dr, North Little Rock, AR, 72117, Pat Blaylock, (501) 945-9862, pblaylock@abf.com, $31.00/hr or $64,480 annually, 02/2019, Current, 45+ hours worked per week, Conducted routine inspections and maintenance on vehicle electronic systems to ensure optimal performance and compliance with safety regulations., Utilized company IT systems for tracking and logging freight deliveries, ensuring accurate and timely updates., Collaborated with team members and dispatchers to coordinate logistics and troubleshoot any issues related to shipment tracking., Maintained detailed logs and records using digital tools, ensuring compliance with federal and state regulations., Operated and managed freight-handling equipment, ensuring safe loading and unloading procedures., Engaged with customers to address concerns and ensure satisfaction, leveraging customer management software., Consistently recognized for maintaining high safety standards and compliance with regulatory requirements., Before every trailer is deemed ready to close out for traveling across the country, a safety check is required. During a trailer close out, I noticed that the trailer was loaded with incompatible hazmat., I was tasked with closing out a trailer. Every trailer is loaded electronically and is cross-checked automatically for incompatible hazardous material or incompatible shipments in general. Generally speaking, there is no need for someone to physically check the shipments before closing out a trailer., Knowing which hazardous materials are compatible and incompatible, I immediately noticed that there was dangerous when wet hazmat and flammable liquid hazmat loaded inside the trailer. I quickly notified the CDM supervisor, and we took the flammable when wet hazmat off immediately., If that trailer was allowed to leave the yard with incompatible hazardous materials, then it potentially could have cost thousands of dollars in damage or even worse, loss of life. The lesson learned here for me, to not 100% of the time rely on the electronic shipping system to cross-check hazardous materials and to check them myself when needed.

Before leaving the maintenance pit, we are to ensure all safety flags and personnel are free from locomotives before operating the locomotives., I was called upon to lead a team of 4 people to take these locomotives from the maintenance pit to the yard, which involves the utmost safety. One of the guys on my team was newer and had recently come out of training., With safety in mind and knowing I had a person on my team that recently came out of training, before operating the locomotives, I took it upon myself to do a full walk around. During the walk around, I found that there was still a machinist underneath the locomotive that was in the process of changing the brakes on the locomotive. I halted the task of moving the locomotives and brought this up to the maintenance control., Leaving the maintenance pit with someone underneath the locomotive would have caused serious injury to that person or possible loss of life. If the brakes were removed, and we took off, this would have caused catastrophic damage to the locomotives and the building which would have resulted in millions of dollars in damage and possible loss of life.
