September 6, 2005 UT · Metal/Non-Metal haul/off road/coal/ore/pit/quarry/rock/rubber tire truck driver, transportation truck driver POWERED HAULAGE
Red Dome Inc · Struck against a moving object

Driver asked for a short shift for some personal time, he was in a hurry, he geared up to cross the flat and instead of slowing down and then gearing down, he took it out of gear and was pressing hard to place it in a lower gear while he was going down the hill. He hit the brakes, but not enough distance to stop. He hit protective berm which stopped truck.
