LTL in Pictures

Backing out around the corner. My drives went on that soft slick grass and it pulled me over. It’s hard to see but my passenger side steer is on the edge of an 8-10 ft drainage ditch.

I tried not to be too hard on myself, cause at least I knew when to stop trying to correct it myself. Another few inches and I’d of been in the ditch on my side or upside down.

 

Sucks, how'd it all work out in the end?

I'm not a smoker, but for some reason, cigarillos, coffee and sunflower seeds sound like the perfect way to fill a void of waiting for propane to unload... at a distance of course.

 

They pulled me over with a tow rope. Then I got tight against the driver’s side the second time around and rolled out.

I usually only smoke cigars/cigarillos when drinking but keep some in the tractor for such occasions. The coffee and seeds are everyday though.

 

Definitely. Second time was a charm. Dang rookies!

 

My service center manager told me today that it cost $800 to get pulled out by the tow service. Boy did I feel stupid. But like I said before, at least I knew when to stop. $800 beats $8,000 no doubt. Thankfully, I have a really cool and understanding/forgiving manager.

 

why do they send a large truck to places with terrain like that ? me personally i would have walked it and tested the ground......i went to a shipper one time and rolled the curb and completely shatter the sidewalk i didnt realize i was at 80k pounds hahahaha
