  12. TERMINAL OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT IN COOPERATION WITH CANADIAN PACIFIC AND THE CCIB Do I Write the Damage or Don’t I? THAT is the Question!

  13. 4 QUESTIONS AND ONLY 4 1. IS ANY COMPONENT CUT OR BROKEN? (WATCH FOR TAR-TAPE OR CAULKING) 2. IS THE UNIT UNSAFE? (ARE ANY COMPONANTS FAILING, IS IT STRUCTURALLY SOUND) 3. IS THE LOADING CAPACITY LIMITED BECAUSE THE UNIT IS BENT BY 3” OR MORE? (INTERIOR VOLUME OR CAPABILITY OF LOADING ON RAILCAR) 4. IS THE UNIT GOING TO LEAK – WIND OR WATER? (CAN YOU SEE DAYLIGHT FROM THE INSIDE?) YES = WRITE IT NO = DON’T WRITE IT! QUALITY NOT QUANTITY!

  14. DOES THIS “DAMAGE” AFFECT THE USE OF THIS UNIT? Door Frame / J-Bar bent slightly. Door operation is not affected and NO damage needs to be noted and no repair made.
