OMG I did that once, and it was at night, stopped to get a drink and use the rest room. But as soon as I was almost out of the truck it stated to roll, so naturally I jumped back in real quick, and set them.. This guy must have been real tired probably jumped from the seat to the bunk other than that how and the world do you not realize your truck is rolling away..

This truck sure did travel a long distance before coming to a stop. I feel sorry for all vehicles involved.
Just when you thought of going shopping and come out and find that an eight-teen wheeler wanted your parking space.
Some body forgot the first rule of stopping or parking...pull the little yellow button.
I saw a Swi*t truck get out of his truck after getting into his slot when a voice came over the PA, "Will the drive of Swi*t truck number #### please return to your truck, it is blocking the exit". Thank goodness the truck didn't hit anything.

BTW: Liked the video

One of my fellow drivers got out of his truck without setting the brake.
The truck and trailer rolled all the way down to the other end of the property, BACKWARDS.
Did't stop until the trailer wheels rolled off into a deep ditch.
Luckily, the jockey truck was able to help pull it out.

Why couldn't the pickup truck that we own that still has payments on it couldn't be sitting there??? I hate to shop and really hate malls so I guess that could never happen to me at a shopping mall. lol

Just unlucky timing on your part. Never say never this can also happen at a t/s. Hope it never happens to anyone. This can be one RED face driver.
