If so, I bet he was thinking Oh-chit !!

Hopefully it does not put you out of commission while the
bin is repaired...

The drivers don't stay in the trucks. They are standing about 25 yards in front of them at a control station pressing a button to lift the rams.

We worked on it yesterday till 9pm last night and all day today and put it back in service shortly after lunch. Most of the time was spent getting it out and all getting all the metal out of the hopper that was under the chip load. It actually did not hurt the bin much at all.
