Gee Whiz, it's always the result of the 1%'er Idiot Class that makes life harder for everybody else... another moronic electrical safety device added to the list.

Big $$$$$ fines for such stupidity either make you smarter & pay attention to your job or bankrupt you & push you out!!!

My trks have red lights on the dash for PTO engaged... now I would need another light & possibly buzzer too when the box lifts?!! BS!

It's not just highway trucks. Numerous instances of quarry trucks taking down conveyors with a raised bed. My favorite is a quarry truck going downhill into an underground facility, bed up, hit the tunnel entrance and left the bed on the ground behind him. Sadly, it happened again, about a year later. Not the same driver. Newer off road dumps have interlocks between bed-up and transmission controls - restricts trans shifting into higher gears if bed is not seated. But, you can still do a lot of damage in low gear!
