Switched from hand signals to radio comms after dumping a load in Tulsa

I used to rely on the old hand signal system with my ground guy for 8 years, but after a misread flag dropped a pallet of bricks outside a strip mall in Tulsa back in March, I finally got a decent two way setup. Now I give the operator a 5 step checklist before every pick, has anyone else had close calls with the old way that made them switch?

Worth every penny after one close call.

The scratch on my bumper cost me $300 to fix. @corah75, what exactly happened in your close call that made you grab the dash cam? I got mine after watching a guy back into me and claim I hit him.
