Kimble V. Waste Systems International Inc‪.‬

Moses Kimble was a laborer for the sanitation department in Yakima. His duties consisted of collecting and compacting refuse in a garbage truck known as the "Shu-Pak," manufactured by defendants Waste Systems, Inc., and Maxon Industries, Inc. The truck has two separate driving compartments: the left-side compartment is used to drive the vehicle along its intended route. The right compartment, adjacent to the left section and forward of the front wheels, is designed to allow the laborer, or "helper," easy egress to load the garbage.
