I have worked on a garbage truck for several years and we (CSEA) pushed for satelite trucks to ride in when traveling longer distances during our routes. All our trucks are Leach packers and all have warning stickers saying do not ride on step when traveling over 10 mph or traveling longer than 2 tenths of a mile or when vehical is moving in reverse. We(CSEA) stopped the practice of riding on the back lip of the hopper several years ago. The bar you see them holding onto is a bar that keeps the dumpsters from falling inside the hopper not a hydraulic line.

IMAFF liked a post in a topic by robert benz in Training Tips, Tricks, and Proven Shortcuts
I am asking for input for this topic. What I am looking for is a list of tips that we cant find in the books that work on the fireground. this could help everybody at sometime in thier career. No particular order at this point, if you have something share it with the rest of the crowd.
GROUND LADDERS
All ground ladders should be marked at the balance point for one man carries
Whoever has the Butt / foot of the ladder in a 2 man carry should anounce it so as you are approaching the building there is no confusion as to where it should be placed, and also so it cant get put upside down. That could never happen lol
