The video calls the two dock guys morons. I'd say the driver is a moron for not blocking the load before pulling away from the dock.

If you look closely the dock plate is up (meaning the driver had the green light if there was one) the dockworker walks up and stands on the dock plate and you can see him ride it back down. I can't figure out what he's holding.

What I can't figure out is if they intended to unload the shopping carts or had just finished loading them. On first view it appeared the carts were too near the end of the trailer for the dock plate lip to flip out. So the dock guy rode the plate down and was going to drop the plywood to bridge the gap to unload a few carts to make room on the end of trailer for the dock plate lip. But why did the trucker pull so far forward and then continue to move forward?

Probably never figure this one out, but it was good for a laugh.
