So I was sleeping at a shipper for 10 hours, woke up and went in to see if my load was ready. Got my paper work and what not and found my trailer in the door. I get to it, hook onto it, check my pin and put the airlines on. Half asleep me I got back in the truck and tried to move forward. Felt some resistance and checked to see if maybe I missed a chock somewhere. Saw no chocks, got back in my truck and still felt resistance when I tried to move forward. Moved like 8 feet forward to close the doors. When I got out I realized I forgot to put the landing gear up. There was a long scratch mark on the ground like 8 feet long. Nobody saw anything so I just left it as is.
Pretty sure I won't make that mistake again.... #Newdrivermistakes -_-
Anyone ever make this mistake?
