Industrial truck driver demands machinery operator load materials onto the truck that exceed the limit, refuses to listen to instructions, operator complies: ‘Who am I to tell you what's good for your truck?’

How many times have you had to deal with people who refused to listen to your professional advice, even though you clearly know what you are talking about?

If your answer is not 'all the time', then we would love for you to tell us your secrets, because it happens daily for us. We all have fields we excel at, things that we know, that we understand better than most people. But do these experts guarantee that people listen to us? Unfortunately, not.

The heavy machinery operator in the story below is an expert in their field; they know their way around heavy machinery. However, when they tried to warn a truck driver that he was trying to load too much material onto his truck, this driver refused to listen to the sage advice and demanded the operator load exactly what he wanted.

So, the operator complies, which sometimes is the best way to prove just how right you were in the first place.
