He got out of the truck and was between the truck and trailer trying to raise the air bags to lift the trailer so he could pull from underneath.

A coworker got into the employee's truck and attempted to move the truck forward, however, the truck moved backwards further pinning Employee #1. The employee was pronounced dead at the scene.
