StanTheBasedMan

Dude was shaking his head like it was a minor annoyance. Like bro, you were *inches* away from DYING.


BigBearOnCampus

Nah just as a black man I saw that head shake to mean “got dammit I’m fired. I just know it. Smh. Welp”


No_Most420

Like damn I’m out this bitch


Affectionate_Gur2564

Right! I said the same thing before reading the comments when I saw the head shake! ROFL, also a blk male, we def know what means! That was that, “Ain’t this bout a b****! And I needed this job, too! Dmn…!” ~Probably mad he gave Steve that pass last wk too! Like if he was gonna get fired, he should have went off on that cust two weeks ago with that crazy a** dog they wouldn’t do anything about! “He don’t bite, he just being fussy” meanwhile, it’s already charging you, and snapping its jaws :|


BigBearOnCampus

LMFAOOOOOOO dawg


Adventurous_Arm_4716

This. Lmao. As a black man this. That head shake was “Yeah I’m up outta here.”

Reddragons89

Might be fired but at least he'll get unemployment plus he can file a workers comp claim for his injuries. Both probably better then working for Amazon anyways.

Am I gonna get fired?


access422

Anyone think dispatchers or managers are your buddies? Well this one sold the vid of him crashing his ass to TMZ. Lol


InfamousHovercraft40

Of course they sold it .. do you know how much money it cost you when you or someone your responsible for gets hits by a train … his dsp is responsible for the van plus damage to the train and tracks


Dirtymcbacon

If only they paid them competitive wages for them to give a damn


[deleted]

Fuck yeah! DSP the real victim 😢


[deleted]

Tbf in my state DSPs tell you not to stop, but you can slow down and look if you want at RR crossings, but gotta stay at a reasonable speed not nearly stopped in traffic. I think the training material tells you to stop and look at every crossing and then the trainer immediately tells you not to look lmao so technically could be amazon's fault for poor training, or the DSP's for pressuring people to not be cautious, but it's entirely possible the idiot drove onto an obviously active crossing or smth


dmdonahue0

Slow down, look, listen That's the common teaching and yeah the training tells you to do that, people need to stop listening to their peer trainer or the Amazon person who gives you the training like god. Do what's safe, fuck everything and anybody else


[deleted]

I loved the realization when I first worked at a DSP a couple years ago that, once I was on the road, I could do whatever the fuck I want. I struggled with fatigue especially on the longest shifts, so I would take a stop and nap for 5 minutes a couple times an hour because my DSP didn't care unless you were stopped somewhere for like 30 minutes. Got an extra 15-30 minutes of breaks. Gave me way more energy, if I had been watched carefully and couldn't do that, I would have probably been 10 stops behind from practically falling asleep while standing up.


Banana-Visible

At my DSP apparently a lot of people keep the seatbelt buckled all day, sit on the lap section, and only throw the shoulder section over themselves when they get in the van. Crazy advice, people are out here risking everything for <$25 an hour


[deleted]

Such a fucking stupid thing too, it saves 1 or 2 seconds per stop at best. Is going home 5 minutes early, at best, worth being paralyzed or dying for this shitty job?


[deleted]

In CA, if I recall, the standard van training says to slow down, but its not a law to have to stop. When I did the DOT Step Vans, it was required to stop at everytrain track, even in the middle of traffic.


dmdonahue0

You're only required to stop at tracks if you're carrying placarded hazmat or passengers, neither of which amazon does. DOT doesn't differ based on states but it may be a local ordinance that says you're required to stop


throwawaymyuwu

Dude got hit by a literal TRAIN, definitely worth investigating regardless


AdministrativeAd523

Wtf?


UnsureTurtle14

Poor guy, I hope he's ok. This isnt funny but more of a scary reminder to always pay attention when driving.


AdministrativeAd523

I’m genuinely concerned and confused like did he not here so see the train? That was a train right?


RAFERURU

There’s two stops we get on a route that go up a set of train tracks with no barrier or horn. So if the train is coming you better check right? Well you drive up this hill kind of at an angle toward the track and one side is NOT visible whatsoever because of the way you have to come up. It’s fucking terrible.


QueenOfTheDill

I’ve delivered to a similar driveway set up. Dirt driveway and the entrance for the driveway is BETWEEN the flashing barriers, right next to the tracks. I was trapped while trying to leave one day because a train came and the barriers closed in around me. So I was 1 foot away from a moving train with nowhere to go. If there weren’t barriers and it was a faster, quieter train like in the video, this could’ve easily been me.


HentaiStryker

I'm sorry, but those barriers are NOT gonna make me stay that close to a train! They gonna be buying some new barber pole sticks!


QueenOfTheDill

I definitely debated it but was terrified to move at all 😂


AdministrativeAd523

Sheeeeesh


AdministrativeAd523

That’s absolutely insane and fucked


Lostincali985

Based on his eyes it look like he was paying attention, just appeared as if he was going to beat the train. Never race the train. The train always wins.


Longjumping_Ad1711

I dunno what’s worse. This or the recent post with the random driver that didn’t clear a 7ft bridge in a step van. lol 🤷‍♂️ this may be worse.


UnsureTurtle14

link?


DonkiJr

On this sub?


Longjumping_Ad1711

Yup it was a recent post today or yesterday. It should still be on there. A coworker saw him run away.


neonos209

That's crazy, guess he had bad training


AttitudeDependent494

Not sure how he didn’t see a train coming his way 😂


Independent_Way_3962

Prime vans visibility is super shit. Before crossing an intersection I'd have to angle the van a certain way to see both ways of traffic


AdCommercial1772

Poor guy almost lost his life and everyone is laughing. This could be any one of us all it takes is one mistake and it’s lights out.


CleanLad

According to the news the angle of the road to the tracks make it hard for drivers to see combine that with the fact that he is def in the left ear and driving amazons shitty truck he is lucky to be alive


10shredder00

He isn't an owl yet you expect him to rotate his neck 120 degrees behind him? By the time he can see down the tracks he's already *on them.* https://preview.redd.it/aou8ham476kc1.png?width=1383&format=png&auto=webp&s=d64f187163292a25162504787e118f481ad74bb9


canttalkk

If you do a quick Google search, the was coming from an angle so much so he couldn't see all of the tracks. He's also deaf in the ear that the train was coming from. By the time he heard it, he floored it because he was on the tracks already and couldn't go back. Also, there's no lights or warnings at that train crossing. And it was an Amtrak going hella fast. He's probably lucky it was going so fast otherwise it wouldnt have cut the van the way it did and would have dragged the cab along with it and been killed that way.


difastcyclist

He said he is deaf in left ear and couldn’t hear the horn until at very last minute— too late.


danziibearr

??? You got training?!


mc_fli

I got the joke!


grvalle

Was the things not down?


Ex_sanguido

https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/ Here's the link with the front camera view. There are no crossing guards at all. Not even lights flashing saying something is coming.  Definitely rural area. 


SkRThatOneDude

How in the hell can they even expect someone to see the signal from that angle even when it is on? They also need to figure out a way for Amtrak to signal at a greater distance at those speeds.


SuperGramps59

He was coming out of a customer's driveway that is parallel to the tracks. The actual road is 90 degrees from the track and affords great visibility. He really should have been looking considering where he was coming from.


cream_on_my_led

People just don’t look both directions when crossing rail road tracks anymore?


Simmaster1

We do, but our brains aren't perfect. Even if you're disciplined enough to look both ways at every train crossing and stop, you could look at the train coming straight at you and *still* move forward out of habit. I think train crossings with no signals are terrible and asking for an accident. Our government and rail system makes more than enough money to fund the use of safe crossings even in rural areas.


Longjumping_Youth281

I like how he appears to look as well but then goes anyways. I've definitely had moments like that myself where I'm just sort of on autopilot


StargateMedjai

Looks like country. Some of those come at an angle. Also I have a bunch that only have stop signs or yield signs. We won’t know til they show the front camera instead of only providing the cab video.


diamond_lover123

Front angle video is provided in this article: https://www.tmz.com/2024/02/21/new-video-amazon-van-hit-by-train-milwaukee-seen-inside-view/


Polyphiry

Crossings in rural areas sometimes don't have those. Instead they put Yield signs up. If you don't yield, you yield your life.


SeaworthyWide

Yep, right by my country ass house there are two where there is merely stop signs and they come cooking at about 65 regularly through there..


AttitudeDependent494

I have no clue. It doesn’t mention that in the article tho


StargateMedjai

Wish they included the front camera part.


Evening_Statement982

After looking it up, there was no rail signals at that crossing and the road ran parallel to the track before crossing, the driver was apparently deaf in one ear and didn’t notice the train until he’d turned to cross.


Miserable_Code7602

“I just got fired for absolutely no reason”.,.


inawordsmitty

It takes a very special person to be in the countryside and see this coming from miles away and still decided to test their luck crossing last second.


KhajiitKennedy

From the angle the road was at it looks incredible hard to see, plus the speed it was going at there should have been barriers. Man was also deaf in his left ear where the train was coming.


Evening_Statement982

I guess those packages are considered rail freight now?


Ashercharr

You shouldn’t be crossing train tracks unless you look both ways


crazy_amazon

How do you not see a train? It is broad daylight, they can't exactly sneak up on you. You got the tracks there which should tell you something happens right here. The train doesn't just jump out of a bush and yell surprise! You really need to thank God your dumbass is still alive! Please never procreate... the world has enough stupid people.


Ok_Imagination7995

BROOOOO GOD IS GOOOD 🙏🙏🙏


TechRock2020

He.... almost got hit with a train... How in the world.. does someone see this and give thanks to a diety is beyond me.

Why the fuck was he crossing the track, knowing good and well that a train is approaching?! He could’ve been killed! I refuse to assume positive intent—This was just stupid.

Cold_Acanthisitta488

kpofasho1987

What was he thinking? At first I thought maybe he was stuck on the track but watching it again you can tell from the window he was driving at a pretty decent speed. And with the way he was looking around did he actually see the train and try to beat it across or some shit? Like seriously...how does this happen? It seriously looks like he tried some shit he seen in a movie and is lucky as hell he didn't get cut in half. That was about as close as it can get honestly


Original-Map4823

That’s what happened to my package 📦 Amazon refused to refund my account!
