OK experienced drivers, post your most recent rookie mistake!

Yesterday...hooked to trailer, drove to guard shack...turned to line up with window and heard landing gear scrap...yup never raised it. Honda plant...crap load of trucks in and out and me cranking it up blocking the exit. Might of been caused by the exhaust leak in the cab of the loaner truck.

 

this one is my personal high!! I stopped at waterloo, ia for my 10hr break went in to take shower come out and for the life of me I could not find where I parked my truck!!!!!! I walked around for at least 15min before I found my truck. I didn't realize it was that many white 387 pete's till that night. that night I was banging my head against wall!!!!! lmao!!!!!! now when I stop in large truck stop I count which row I park my truck.

 

I thought it was just a fart...

 

Id probably jus do what I usually do when asked MAKE EM UP!--lol
and I pull the same trl!

 

Not that experienced but , Had a delivery for somewhere in Illinois near Chicago, Ended up in Wisconsin.
I wasn't too far off, but it didn't sound good when i called in and told them told them i was lost in another state.

Now I've gotten temporarily "lost", but it being over 60 miles away in another state is taking it to a whole new level.
BTW, with you saying you "weren't too far off", just wondering what you'd consider "far off"?

 

just errors,lol

 

About a month ago, I ran out of fuel going up the bridge to get out to New Smyrna Beach. Humiliating. Also, about 4 months ago, I was greasing the truck and changed the rechargeable batteries in my automatic grease gun. I set the used rechargeable battery on one of the back tires. Finished up and fired up the truck. Yep. After about 20 feet, I remembered, jumped out, went back there, and there it was, flat as a pancake. Doh!

As a truck driver and owner, I leave a lot to be desired...
