LP? Easy enough to swap. One place I worked at had electric lifts. Someone didn’t secure one of the batteries correctly once and it went sliding across the floor when they took a corner a bit fast. It’ll get your attention when a 1-ton+ battery goes zipping by you...

There’s a rental yard just around the corner from me, that fills LP tanks—it’s running now. Luckily, it ran out of gas just as I tried to start it up this morning. Two minutes later and it would have run out outside....would have been a disaster.

Whew!

That story needs work.

Now if he was transporting several bags of driveway halite, you could say the driver was disciplined for a salt and battery misdemeanor.
