Palatine feeder driver....

[hondo]

Yes, a Palatine feeder driver sustained a serious injury moving a "doghouse". No official word on whether amputation of the foot will be necessary, but we are hoping/praying it won't be.

Thank you for the update. I hope he recovers. These trailers are very hard to back up.

In nearly 7 years of feeders I have only had to move those things a grand total of 2 times. Not my favorite trailer to maneuver. I would be interested in hearing how this drivers foot got crushed by it though. I wish him the best. BTW, here we call them "Condos".

We call them MDU's here.

So do we.

I heard at a PCM on Friday someone in management said he ended up losing his foot, but I'm not 100% sure on that. Either way I hope he recovers quickly.

Yes he lost his foot after a couple of unsuccessful surgeries trying to repair blood flow. And yes it happen while moving a dog house with no brakes, not sure how it happen but he was a senior driver that had moved this piece of equipment many times. Here at Palatine we have been praying for him.

Sadness.

We put ours in place and have not moved it since. We use ours year round now.
