Just had a small MCC delivered to a site in Las Vegas last month. Instructions CLEARLY told the trucker to deliver with a lift gate truck or call ahead to arrange for a fork lift rental because this was a greenefield site with no loading facilities yet. LTL trucker company didn't do either. The driver apparently sat there for a half hour as they scrambled to find a fork lift, then they told him it would take 2 more hours to get one there. He put the MCC at the end of the bed and drove out from under it, flopping in on its face on the ground. The entire thing has to be rebuilt of course, but worse yet, this was a fast track project that is now going to miss a deadline, costing the EC and GC some big bonuses and in the case of the EC, that was going to be split out to the crew. Needless to say if that trucker has another delivery to that site, he had better hire it out to someone else...
I might be getting pictures too, the trucker's insurance company wants to know why the equipment can't be repaired, I am being asked to write up the response. If I get them, I'll post a few.
